Even if our women are not getting equal rights they are still waayyyyyyyyyy better off then Indian women who are abused in just about any place in India.
even after reading the last post before yours, you wish to troll....
if not delete your comment and start acting smart by discussing what can be done and kindly avoid replying sarcastic comments with serious tone and please ignore the trolls.
 
LOL @ Bharatis manipulating title to make themselves happy. :lol:

Get a life you 1 billion no-lifers.
 
Acid attacks in pakistan has ruined many lives.. Hope the women are prevented from the perverts roaming on the streets..

And the women born in the minority religion are the least protected ones.. There exist huge state discrimination against minority girls who are routinely kidnapped/raped/converted and if a case by chance reaches court then they just read out a prepared script in favor of kidnapers/rapists..

What a sad state!!
 
I feel sorry for Pakistani women, 42% literacy rate in this day and age is just sad.
 
Yeah may be true .... for thousands of bangladeshi women working here as a maid (mostly thieves at end) , cheap construction workers, red light sex workers, stripping & bargirls.

As far as Indian women are concerned, India is not the best place in world but still better than our west & east neighbours.

Look who is talking about being maids or cheap workers. Indians can work in ME in everything but not as maids, because no one would eat their cooked food. Bangladeshes have higher standards of cleanliness than you.
 
Acid attacks are criminal acts by sickheads and punished by the law, unlike murder of millions new born baby girls which are overlooked by the whole indian society, indian government and indian judiciary. How many have your lay punished for killing a baby girl?

Infact the whole movement of baby girl murder was promoted by your best Indra Gandhi government. True, Sahmelessness has no boundaries.

Leave it ........................ Baised UN and baised people .

They dont see millions of them getting raped in US of A...........
They dont see thousands being murdered after they are born to a family who does want a baby girl.
They dont see thousands of women who are being smuggled to different countries for prostitution.

But leave it. No point discussing this report coz it have more to do with politics than real life.


PS: We do have issue regarding women who doesnt have, but damn they are not like millions in a years..............
 
Read it you shameless indians, from hindustan times.


In reality, India's women are discriminated against, abused and even killed on a scale unparalleled in the top 19 economies of the world, according to a new poll by the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

The survey, polling 370 gender specialists, found Canada to be the best place to be a woman amongst G20 nations, excluding the European Union economic grouping. Saudi Arabia was the second worst, after India.

"It's a miracle a woman survives in India. Even before she is born, she is at risk of being aborted due to our obsession for sons," said Shemeer Padinzjharedil, who runs Maps4aid.com, a website which maps and documents crimes against women.

"As a child, she faces abuse, rape and early marriage and even when she marries, she is killed for dowry. If she survives all of this, as a widow she is discriminated against and given no rights over inheritance or property."

Many of the crimes against women are in India's heavily populated northern plains, where, in parts, there is a deep-rooted mindset that women are inferior and must be restricted to being homemakers and childbearers.

Why are you being so defensive, 42% literacy rate is indeed very low and it's a sad state of affairs. If you want to talk about Indian women there are plenty of other threads to discuss that, or open a new one, or ask Windjammer, he will open one for you with a twist in the title.
 
wtf...
12 Influential Pakistani Women Leaders You Should Know

2012-05-08-Pakistan_delegation.jpg


As the weather warms and tourists descend on the nation's capital, 12 Pakistani women will be among the thousands of visitors in D.C. this week. But they aren't here to see the cherry blossoms or tour the White House. They're here to meet with US policymakers to propose solutions for how the US can help end extremist violence in Pakistan, a country that has lost 35,000 civilians to terrorism since 2001.

The delegation of women will be meeting with key policymakers from the State Dept., USAID, and Congress to recommend how US foreign policy can help support Pakistan's very active civil society, which is mostly led by women.

The delegates are representatives of Amn-O-Nisa, the Pakistan Women's Coalition Against Extremism, launched in October 2011, to address instability and violence in Pakistan.

We applaud these courageous women and thank the US Embassy in Islamabad and Meridian International Center for their support in making this delegation a reality.

Meet the Women Leaders


Mossarat Qadeem
Executive Director, PAIMAN Alumni Trust

With a mission of social change through innovative approaches, Mossarat Qadeem works directly with mothers to deradicalize extremist youth in Taliban strongholds and reintegrate male family members into communities. In moderating extremism in Pakistan, she chooses to "collaborate, not confront."

She was a lecturer at Peshawar University in 1990, when just four of 180 professors were women, and has continued to break new ground. "Working with conservative religious clerics, we were successful often when we thought we would fail. Often, our own fears are the only thing stopping us from reaching out."

As a self-appointed local "peacekeeper" in the district of Rajanpur, she mediates between Sunni and Shia sects by convening meetings with religious leaders to discuss peace and security. She has convinced both communities to form peacekeeping volunteer groups comprised of young men who safeguard religious precessions and ceremonies, successfully diffusing tensions and reducing violence in the district.

Living in Pakistan's most remote and volatile region along the border of Afghanistan -- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) -- Bushra Hyder has experienced first-hand the effects of increasing extremist violence in her homeland. Yet she says, "when terror comes to your doorstep, you cannot fear it; you cannot tolerate it anymore."

To help her community cope with frequent violence, she has created student "peace clubs" that visit a nearby hospital to meet with survivors of bomb attacks.

She has authored school curricula and teacher training materials that promote cultural diversity and interfaith harmony, and she advocates for their implementation in religious and education institutions.

Why are you being so defensive, 42% literacy rate is indeed very low and it's a sad state of affairs. If you want to talk about Indian women there are plenty of other threads to discuss that, or open a new one, or ask Windjammer, he will open one for you with a twist in the title.

So what has your 100% literacy rate done to protect the innocent girls from inhumane murder? or highest number of rapes in the world? or highestnumber of murders for dowery? Ifliteracy does not teach you respect for life or gender equality, then we are better off with 42% literacy.
 
No such report exist from UNICEF, places such as Africa and India are actually the worst places to be a female. In fact you'd be lucky to even be born a female in Hindustan, female infanticide is rampant and popular there and a natural part of Hindu culture.

Wow, bright chance for Indian men. Let's offer them Indian citizenship, all of them.

Actually Indian women are taking up arms to kill Indian men, many of them secretively hate Indian men and now there ready to kill you.

They are acting like they are civilized and they have had all democracy and freedom in the world, so they are now moving to sympathize with Pakistani women. Yah, we got it. First stop burying your girls alive then show up your faces here.

Why?? Will that change the facts about Pakistan? India has issues but still it is ranked down the list.. Infanticide is the issue but even in gender ratio India (1.06 male(s)/female (2011 est.)) is better placed than Pakistan (1.08 male(s)/female (1998 est.)). Even in Saudi Aradia the Male/Female ratio is 1.17 male(s)/female (2010 est.). So tell me what's happening to your women.. Just because you are not reporting the facts does not mean infanticide is not there in your countries.

And Arab with all the money didn't fare all that well in the G 20 rankings that you start acting as torch holders for others.. You would not want to discuss Arab women rights in this thread now. right?
