This document discusses women's empowerment in Pakistan. It defines empowerment as having decision-making power, assertiveness, positive thinking, involvement in growth, and a positive self-image. The UN defines empowerment as self-worth, choice, opportunities, control over one's life, and ability to influence social change. Despite commitments like CEDAW, Pakistan ranks low on measures of empowerment due to issues like early marriage, limited education, restricted mobility, and lack of resources and inheritance rights for women. Overcoming challenges will require dedicated efforts, strong political will, evidence-based approaches, and corrections to misinterpreted religious concepts. Women and law

Women's status in ancient India was subordinate to men in the patriarchal society. During the Vedic period, women had more rights and freedom but their status deteriorated in the post-Vedic period with the rise of practices like sati, child marriage, and denial of inheritance. Under British rule, social reformers campaigned for women's rights and sati was banned in 1829. Post-independence, the constitution granted women equality but patriarchal attitudes persisted. Today, women are achieving success in all fields despite social challenges but true empowerment remains gradual.Women Empowerment

The document discusses the history of women's rights from the 19th century to today. It notes that before the 20th century, women did not have equal rights to men. The first women's rights convention was held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, NY. In 1869, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Association to fight for women's right to vote. The 19th amendment in 1920 helped bring more equality by giving women the right to vote. While progress has been made, the document notes women still face issues like the glass ceiling and lack of full equality in some parts of the world.Women empowerment-puneet sharma

This document discusses gender inequality and defines gender equality. It provides examples of gender inequality such as restrictions on women's rights to drive, divorce, education, travel, and obstacles in professional settings. Historically, women faced discrimination and lacked legal rights. They were viewed as less intelligent than men and only useful for household tasks. Women could not vote or have their perspectives valued. Puritans believed women should be subordinate to their husbands. Gender equality means equal representation and value of women and men without implying they are the same. It is important for organizations, nations, and the world to achieve gender equality as it is a human right and leads to better business outcomes.Independence Day Wishes- naushadme

By the early 1900s, most western countries had granted universal male suffrage. The women's suffrage movement in Canada worked to expand voting rights to women as well. Key organizations in the late 19th century promoted women's issues and social reform. World War 1 influenced expanding voting rights, first to women related to soldiers, then all female citizens over 21 for federal elections by 1918. The Persons Case decision of 1929 declared that women were eligible for political office.

The document discusses the oppression and social evils faced by women in 19th century Indian society, such as sati, child marriage, and purdah. It describes the work of various social reformers like Raja Rammohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, and Pandita Ramabai who campaigned against these practices and worked to improve women's status through efforts like establishing schools for girls and advocating for widow remarriage. The movement for women's liberation later gained momentum through their participation in India's freedom struggle and reform movements led by Gandhi.women empowerment

Women empowerment refers to increasing women's spiritual, political, social, or economic strength. It often involves empowering women to develop confidence in their own abilities. In India, women face many issues such as high rates of child marriage, domestic violence, and lack of access to education and economic opportunities. Efforts toward empowering women in India include increasing access to education, self-employment opportunities, loans, and addressing basic needs like health, nutrition, and sanitation. Role models like Indira Gandhi and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw have helped empower women in India.Pandit_Jawaharlal_Nehru.pptx
