President Asif Ali
Zardair has let it be knows that he and government are now endorsing women and
their emancipation. He is supporting their emancipation from
discrimination. Women in this region of the world have long tried to
receive equal treatment of all facets in life. Zardari acknowledged that
the time had come for women of the world to be saluted for
their resilience during times of gender inequality. Benazir Bhutto,
the first Prime Minister elected in the Muslim world, felt that she was
obligated to fight for the right of the women of her county. Zardair
believed that the rights of women were inseperable from their rights as human
beings. Zardair and his team devised a plan that would protect the
women from harassment and empowering the women through government
programs. While in power, he created the Women in Distress and
Detention Fund Act in 2001. This provided government aid
to women that needed assistance. The National Commission on Status
of Women was created to protect the legal rights of women. He has
even asked the government to revisit laws and policies that limit the social
mobility of them and also the embarrassment that they feel as a result of old
laws and customs.
This
article touches on the reality that there are still parts of the world where
women will not have the same economic opportunity as the men. This
article is more promising because this article stems from a Middle Eastern
state. The fact that a region where Islam has dominated
the ideologies of the people to revolutionize the way women are treated is a
great thing.
