The field is struggling for the meaning of gender in this society. There are many
societal factors that may endorse the study and even some elements negate them.
The supporters of the gender studies pursuit it for the sake of general interest and the
elements who negates it are doing so at individual basis. There is only one subject,
introduced by the societal thinkers, impartial scholars and true learners about the
gender studies, so that students can get familiar with gender at broad perspective.
Under the normal circumstances, the four dimensions of this segment of the society
studied in Gender studies.
Gender Studies
Firstly, the historical foundations of the gender studies and the origin of this subject.
The time bounded techniques had been used in this exploration. For example,
Theories of Womens Studies by Gloria Bowles basically pursuits for the historical
bindings of the studies and demonstrates the foots of this study as the proper
discipline in many aspects.
Secondly, the subject matter covers the grounds of economic way and the action
needed for the economic part in terms of gender studies. For example, the study
initiated by Micaela Di Leonardo, proposed the linkage of Gender studies with the
materialist approach and the approach that shows that the meaning and the hidden
knowledge behind the meaning is not the only requirement of this literature.
Oppositely, the political economy and the dimensions of political economy is also a
way of thinking in all aspects. There is known linkage between the political economy
and the gender studies. the subject matter also showed that the globalization is
pursuit for this change because the nature of the studies is highly depending upon
the female character of this world more than male. The study of BF Reskin proposed
the reality of the male occupations and the same occupations are consistently
adopting by female with the same pace.
Thirdly, the history is also something that is non changeable and constitutes
There is strong link between these two different mindset and there is new subject
comes with the new idea and the mindset to think about the gender. Cristina
Bacchilega in his book Postmodern Fairy Tale: Gender and Narrative Strategies
proposed about the same idea. The initial ideas presented by him in the book told a
old story with the modern language in justified way about historical background of
the gender studies with new look. The acts that was doing repeatedly by the gender
is actually inherited in him for long.
Fourthly, while the introductory material presented here said about the gender and
the studies directly related with the gender in best possible way showed that the
Feminism and are acts as both the private and the public one. The idea boosted while
the JB Landes studied about the linkage of philosophy with this subject. The same
writer proposed that the cultural studies are also closely related with the gender
studies because the culture is also amalgamation of both sex with different

1994 about the feminist view, feminist thinking and the Feminist schools of thoughts

the world and elements of the culture are tending to achieve the realistic
approach towards the exploration of ills in society. The basic motive behind
the exploration of ill is to confronts the challenges in human life. The subject
is not ancient one and oppositely it is new to the society. The society that is
Gender studies is the paradigm shift in academics and this shift is being
obtained through the consistent behavior of women in women struggle against
freedom. Realistically speaking, the subject matter debate is not end till date
because of different viewpoints of the society about the gender studies at the
same platform. It is known fact that the women studies are always considered
the major elements related with the women only. Those elements that are
highly considerable in the way and should be done with the immediate
improvement in the timeline at womens perspective. The women issue is the
one of the main elements among those that considered the women at first place
in society and should be molded in the sense that may endorse the way of
society towards the women.
The women issues may be same as the society said and may be highly
integrated as the Hillary Clinton thinks. The women issues may be same as
the urban women said during her daily life and may be same as the women
issues buzzed up by the rural living life. The main element in which the
women can think, ponder and initiates the discourse analysis is being
1992) The women issues are not a static form in which the women can thinks
and responds in the static form, it is the flexible paradigm that show that how
the women confront the challenges in her life. The challenges that issues of
friendship, he challenges of vulnerability in the society and the challenges that
is confronted by the women against the power distribution in the same society.
The challenges are itself creating various issues in the women life and women
can think that people of society are still unaware the methods that show that
how these issues can be resolved. The women researchers and the women
responded are the two ways to think about the issues of the same community
in which the both exist with almost the same mindset but in the different way.
Ironically, the women study endorsed the same mindset at different levels so
that the community show some integration at large scale. (Cotterill, 1992) The
women researchers are doing well under the way that is highly considerable
but constitutes less power than the women responded in introspective way. The
community sets a mindset that the women issues are the core purpose of both
platforms so that the issues could meet the pragmatic strategies at vast range.
The power is unequally divide between the power responded and power
researchers in the manner that is very useful in the manner.
The women issues cant meet the solutions in any case because the society acts
behaves with the researchers but in both men and women perspective.
(Cotterill, 1992) The gender studies are always considered the issues at front
desk in which the both male and female are considerable for the discourse
analysis. The women studies considered the women history and Gender studies
considered the men role in the women history. The women studies initiate the
analysis at women literature and gender studies draws attention towards the
role of men in articulation and even creating it.
In the end, one can say that the women studies pondered upon the women
studies, history of women at this universe and women struggle for freedom so
that the issues could meet the debate desk as soon as possible. The gender
studies are the paradigm shift that show that how the studies of men and
women or interrelated activities during discourse analysis.
of both sexes currently in this universe. When the gender studies decided to do
the relative measures with the immediate study as the research paradigm in
which the studies in this manner is very descriptive it arises as the tool to make
assumptions and expectation. This analysis toll provides the way through the
further research is being carried out with the effective decision making.
The decision making is not so easy because the gender studies is at stake. The
assumption that are providing the glaring way to make assumption about the
gender at first level and influence of sex difference at other. The gender studies
can not only consider the cultural difference in further way but also two other
aspects that are exactly deals with the things in this manner. The social ideas
that show that how the community is going to do the justification is another
way to think about the course material in detail. The ideas of political mindset
with the ideas of social mindset endorsed the way in which the clear difference
is being considered at first level and the difference is about the men and
women.
The same material of gender studies show that how the studies incorporated
the ways in which the scholars thinks and the thinkers reacts. The both
elements of society; masculinity and femininity are always dealing with the
ways in which the society is the only way to show that every aspect in society
behaves with these elements by considering the differences that are always
there and being there forever. The both elements that are integrated with the
way that social constructed platform is the way to get the real maxim in the
beautiful way. After the social constructed element, the other aspect is the
historical touch with the manner that are highly sensitive in the history and
show the struggle of later said in above text.
Particularly, the gender studies are the multidisciplinary nature in the course
because the studies always considered the and even encourage the students
who always a perfect match with different courses. The first course that is
natural science and the students of natural science can accept and even do
better while studying the gender studies. The other students who may done the
health care degree before the study but can do better with the same gender
study. The Students who may got excellence even in education and business
may show that the same interest in the gender studies. In the end, one can say
that knowledge of almost every field can do the indirect support so that
excellence could be achieved even in the sender studies.

The gender studies showed some signs in biological fact while considering the
men and women in large base but all needs of biological fact are not a merely
role in studying the reckless conditions of women status in this world. The
simple biological fact is not the way to endorse the women and negates the
men just upon the facts that has been found in the biological sense.

way to consider these different social groups in no time is regarded as the way

The biological sexes transformed from one phase of life to other with some
certain changes that are necessary to occur when the culture allows and unable

which the women lies is really exist or not. The masculine gaze is the important
aspect that shaped the minds of women to think differently because women
consider the gaze seriously and they think that how the men think while gazing

men to women is solely considerable in social construction of gender.
the community since its inception. The conceptual framework is not only stuck
with the issues as per the required plan of action in the way. The anthology
that focuses on the various debates are the best by product with other concepts
as society needs. Many debates and topics has been introduced in the manner
that exactly required to initiate the way in respective manner.
The important issues that has been a debate regarding the elements as the
intimacy, privacy and even as the sex harassment that has been a normal topic
to discuss with all formalities. The concept initialization regarding the sex and
even the other elements in the gender studies are not the product of abrupt
decision in gender studies. Oppositely, it has been an issue since the inception
of gender and conception of gender linkage with the society. There are possible
four major institutions in the society and these institutions always handles the
matter of gender that has been using as the Queer theory with the same pace
as the gender understand.
Queer Theory
The critical perspective provides the way to give the meaningful intervention
to show that how the community going to consider the legal terms and
regulation in the way that is highly integrated with the queer mindset. The
social aspects that has been discussed since the historical background provides
the way as per the relevancy endorsed the need. Later the Queer way to deal
with the gender studies are highly relevant with the political and cultural
institutions. The only need here to think about the sex as the traditional way to
deal with the different sexes in the same paradigm shift. The same mindset that
has been endorsing the queer and feminist as the main factors to evaluates the
gender deeply show that the both mindsets have been in debate since the wordy
war f sex, gender and sexuality is increased.
The social norms are almost away from the real thinking that directly and
indirectly relate with the subject matter as the Queer theory has been asking.
Therefore, the queer and the feminist way of handling the gender are almost
interlinked in several fronts but in sex front at extra ordinary level. The larger
goals of empowerment and the equality show that the material approach of
society towards the real meaning as the queer theory wants to give in open
society.

show that gender is innate as well under this paradigm shift. There are two
major cross-cultural studies named as the Buss in 1994 and Mead in 1935. The
former studies the heterosexual preferences in males and not only in males it
also spreads in females. The later explains the cultural variations in gender role
that is vary according to procedural changes. (Jensen, 2015)

that sometimes the people can show something other than expected from that
particular type of gender. At that sense or one can say at nature argument, the
cultural variations are explicit in defining the gender roles. The agent of
socialization such as the parents, peers and even the education system in
society takes part in the gender development. In the end, one can say that the
culture versus nature is an everlasting debate generally but specifically it has
no limits while considering the gender development in contemporary society.
that may endorse the research in the way that may benefits the feminist mindset
in this modern society. One can say that the Feminist thinkers are available in
vast range because these thinkers always thinks according to the rationale
thinking that is necessary for the theoretical background of Feminist.
The scholars and student who wants to get the knowledge about the Feminist
way of thinking always have a question in his mind that what is Feminism.
This question is not so easy to answer in several aspects. The encouragement,
endorsement and mindset about the womens rights on three aspects is being
considered as the who mindset about the feminism. This mindset is being
established as the way in which three grounds is being selected and show that
women are entirely equal to men. The first aspect is the political aspect, the
second is the social and third one is economic aspect gives the whole plot of
Feminism. (Baumgardne & Richards)
women is not a big issue anymore. There are some sorts of discriminatory
practices always exists in the society when individual exploit them to collect
the arguments against the equality and at the same time there are some
inequality. One can say that the Liberal feminism is form of feminist theory
but that form of feminist theory believes in individualistic thinking more than
collective one. (stanford., 2007)
The philosophical form of radical feminism pondered upon society in the way
that is directly related with the Patriarchal roots in the identification of mindset
speaking. in this way, the social form is being considered as the main element
for making a huge difference between the women and men. (Lewis)
The other way that has been very glaring since the conceptual framework of
Feminists mindset rises up show that the Marxist Feminism is another tool to
think about the ways in which society could get benefit. The theory of Karl
Marx that has been using as the best argument about the societal factors in the
linked with the work of Marx and Frederick Engels in the complete sense. This
mindset is against the capitalist drive for purpose of profits and profit sharing
in different aspects. The women are being considered as the matter of second
class and less prioritized in this society. The women insocialistic feminism has
been facing the racism as the most common evil in society along with the
homophobia in the worst stage. (Gilbert)

Sometimes it happened that the mens feminism can gain the popularity with
the different ways in doing the reality as the major factor. This is a mindset
that is trendy in nature now a day with the different ways and responsible
thinking is being introduced as the major fact according to this discourse
analysis. According to Ben Agger in 1998 the biggest war comes in end when

most important aspect is to gain the Feminism as the major paradigm shift in
discussing the gender in this world. The simple explanation about different
aspects discusses the way that is highly related with the genders perspective
through the complete discourse analysis. (Beasley, 1999)
What Is Feminism?
The literature of feminism is so confusing and complex that the layperson
in it. The society is concerned with two major and contrasting schools of
thought. One school of thought deals with the social aspect and feminism have
some behavior of attachment from this school. The other aspect is the political
aspect and in the same way the feminism encourages the political myth of
society. (Beasley, 1999)
The widely use of different approach as the past concerns that the complexity
of feminism is highly concerns with the equality in the society. The academic
background and knowledge about the Feminism is still endorsing the reality
that the feminism is the alive conceptual framework and the working is still
required to execute the decision about the feminism. The study that is being
considered as the way of guidance since the previous two decades is now starts
to grasp the attention of staff, students, researchers and scholars from other
studies because all fields endorsing the phenomenon that feminists views are
present in the whole society secretly. (Beasley, 1999)
Even the students are now showing their interest to write about the women and
gender issues in big platform. Another aspect cannot ignore in this field and
that aspect is about the complexities of different trends in Feminism. The
researchers want to explore the material under the Feminism but first they have
to decode the complex information. The students are ready to write about the

research under the concept that modernist view of contemporary8 feminist is

equality between men and women totally against the original feminist
philosophers in this world and acts differently. The political agenda of equality
of women and men is so vast now a day that it could be dangerous for various
Liberal Feminism
The liberal feminist believed the that the formal equality between men and
women is only considered as the equality not less than that and even no more
than that. The state of affairs is the matter of things that considered as the much
important rather than the other ways and tools to considered the women. One
can say that the state of affairs can meet with its real intervention with the
consideration of women as the main factor in society. The womens interest is
the best served thing that has been considered under the state of affairs so that
the female maxim could be enhanced with the procedural way.
The standards under the interest of women segment, the expectations of the
womens interest and the opportunities that are ready to exploit according to
the womens interest are best served under the conceptual framework of
Liberal feminism. The best interventions that has shown by the many
researchers and even the epistemology of feminist show that there is difference
between the men and women at social grounds, there is difference between
men and women at biological ground and there is difference between men and
women, most importantly, at psychological perspectives. (Stanford, 2007)
Above all there is only one think that logically appeals the thinkers of women
and men equally to consider the individual liberty in selecting the equality
factors between the men and women is the way to show that the society is free
in terms of thinking for the women and even sometimes against the women as
well. The American mindset that appeal about the equality between men and
women in large scale that can give the benefits as needed to considered in this
complex world. (Stanford, 2007)
The American see feminist views and theories as the liberal one rather than
radical and socialist. The concept of formal equality was given by the liberal
feminism but as the matter of fact, this formal equality did not deal the
difference between jobs, hiring, recruitment and promotion criteria at
workplace between men and women. Liberals even proposed that it is totally
a market that did not endorse the phenomenon of formal equality between men
and women. (Stanford, 2007)
minds according to some extent and the only reason behind the conceptual
framework is to endorse the reality that the women was the first group of
people who were being enslaved. When the radical mindset at that time
considered and implement that the women sector could be enslaved. Then they
shifted towards the other group of gender that was men. (Thompson, 2001)
There are many arguments about the reality of this manifesto that the women
should be considered as the part of humanity in any sense. When the culture
believed that the women can enslaved practically than the cultural key
performers endorse that men should be enslaved in the same manner. That was
a crucial time for different schools of thought. Male supremacy is the oldest
phenomenon and this phenomenon was established when the men considered
its image at the first stage and negates the women dominance according to the
radical feminist view. The power structure was also establishing at that time
just upon the men-central view rather than women-concise view in society.
(Thompson, 2001)
Radical Feminism
The male dominance was so much raised in the mid of 20th century that Ti-
Grace Atkinson have to said to that the all kinds of oppression that was facing
by the women are the true product of men. The men is the source of corrupt
values and norms relatively as the main source of inequality of gender in the
society. This was the time when the class system has started and people start
thinking about the different ways and procedures respectively. The other
person who remained in the radical feminism proposed that the women is the
oldest group of gender that was facing the oppression in the society in all
aspect. (Thompson, 2001)
biological difference between ten men and women that is the major difference
indeed that negates the rule that the women and men is equal and should
consider equal in all aspects. The male dominance is being abolished for
instance to show that the women is the basic elements of society and should
be considered as accordingly. This school demands that the women is the basic
element in the society that always believed against the oppression of women
by the men and demands to kick out the men from the social and economic
thoughts in actual.
Patriarchy mindset should abolish from the different perspective because the
challenges that has been facing by the feminism since the inception are
incorporated as the main source of this forceful act. The pure political process
cannot eliminate from different perspective that show what is best for the
society and what not so much beneficial. The social norms, values, ethics and
ways of doing things can alter in the radical feminists mindset in different
ways. The aloofness from the political mindset is the main factor in the radical
feminism that gives still the agile moments to this thought. (Thompson, 2001)
reckless society because the women has been not welcoming to take part in
state affairs since the inception of women element in the society. The
oppressions started when the men considered that it is easy to enslave the
women rather than men. As the name suggests, the socialist mindset always
considered the society in first priority rather than the capitalist mindset. The
capitalism is the way that has incorporated as the way that may show that may
show that class relations at society level are the advance level element with the
discourse analysis. (wikifoundry.com, 2015)
The class relation between the men and women is the worst thing that enhances
the level of oppression in society. The expression that has showed as per the
exploitation of women is concerned. The roles of women and men collectively
need to provide the free care for the young that are most importantly the child
are. (wikifoundry.com, 2015)

believe that the women inequality is increasing and only the capitalist society
is being responsible for it in composite way. (wikifoundry.com, 2015)
The household reality of women cannot ignore because the women is the
unattached reality of this society and cannot separate from the society in any
aspect. The functional society considered exactly opposite the material based
discussion that may hinder the performance of women and can create the
inequality in most adverse form. (wikifoundry.com, 2015)
The concept of unhappy marriage is another way to show that how the
Marxism is being regarded as the sole responsible to create the birth of socialist
feminism because the aim of socialist feminism is almost the same as the
Marxisms believes in terms of capital. The socialist feminism always argues
about the different perspective because they are highly familiar with the ills of
society in respect of women. The socialistic feminism is always against the
oppression of workplace and society in terms of women. (wikifoundry.com,

the sake of success in this paradigm shift. The mother is the key element that
can arise the lust of child because he considered her as the sex partner without
any society limitation. Essentially, feminists have some other mindset about

public agenda on first hand decided that the mutual relations between the men
and women are always considerable in the variety of aspects in society. The
creation of framework is not a big thing to discuss that either the concepts
exactly do the same as they intended to do or the matter is something else than
the requirement. (Digby, 2013)
The mens feminism pondered the feminist mindset in the social, economic
and political platform is not the way to discuss as per the requirement in which
the men are the absolute reality. It is necessary to evaluate that there are
specific strengths that are always considerable while having the vast range of
arguments already found in this paradigm shift. The further numbers that are
always believe in the limitation of the study that show either the study is highly
centralized with the practical grounds or not. The feminist mindset discussed
the discourse so that the social and nature things can get the real maxim in the
distinctive way. (Digby, 2013)
Men Feminism
The chunks of information about the feminist mindset are always deals in
enthusiastic manner so that the community could get it in justified way. The
easy mindsets that have been developed over the time by so that the feminist
behavior could be explored were also done by the men of ancient time. The
gender relations are the only platform where the clear distinction can be made
between the feminism men and feminism women so that they can provide the
material needed to support the arguments. (Digby, 2013)
The epistemology that has been derived from various facet of society show
that the men role in enhancing the image of feminist is not an adequately here
as per the requirement. As the many schools of thoughts in the feminist
mindset, the feminism deals with the public policy and try to change it
according to the needs and demands with the various mindset. The public
policy change is an only way to deal with the best approach as needed to
develop. (Digby, 2013)
The public policy is always deals with the womens resources in the society
and tries to increase or even decrease the resources according to the trend of
society. In the end, one can say that the womens paradigm always try to
survive in the culture where men are dominating factor. The women need
affiliation with the national, international and even governmental agencies so
that they can represent the mass of society accordingly. (Digby, 2013)
angles of society. The extra ordinary innovative linkage developed when the scholars
thinks about the amalgamation of feminism and postmodern time in the same
platform. The Scholars always thinks without the knowledge that either this fusion
is going in the favor of women or women struggle of equality or not. (Mazza, 1991)
Postmodern Feminism
The lacking is clear over here that may negate the scholars thinking or may be
endorse as well. The thinking that postmodern way of society is exactly related with
the feminist mindset so that the exploration of values, ethics and mindset be explored
through the different applications. Thee postmodernism is the big school of thought
and present in the society since the recent passing decades. There are some rules,
conceptual framework of postmodernism can use with the feminism mindset as per
the discussion concludes. (Mazza, 1991)
The debates are not end here yet because the community can use it as per the
is also having many mindsets and those mindsets can use with the postmodernism.
This is debate about the dual approach; one from the postmodern towards the
feminism and other is the feminist mindset towards the postmodernism. This is talk
about the casual linkage and the exploration of epistemology in reality but the reality
is not so far from it that there is no formal usage of such interventions at all. The
manifesto of the postmodernist-feminist thought in this updated society endorsed the
cultural way of doing the things that are highly concerned with the approach that
show women is updating now according to social norms, education background and
even political image and this women mindset now require extra ordinary arguments
about the equal or non-equal approach in society. (Mazza, 1991)
One can propose it in justified way that the postmodern view of the feminism is not
exactly meets with the reality of feminism in the previous culture and times because
there is lot of differences between the conceptual framework then and now. Modern
thinking is also responsible for creating the responsible results and findings as one
can say. The modern feminism is tending to think about the way that exactly reflects
the demands of society. The modern feminism behaves with the ways that show what
is good and what is not sufficiently good for different fragments of the society.
(Mazza, 1991)
The oppression of the women is the big issue that exists from the ancient time till
date and have no permanent substitutes to avoid this ill. The Modern way of thinking
about the feminism also said in composite form that when the oppression of women
will abrogate from the society than the all oppression intentionally will leave this
society forever. Consequently, one can say that the postmodern feminism is also
show the same desire as the ancient way of dealing with women was. (Mazza, 1991)
movements was important to recognized the women as the key player in the
cultural, political, social and economic platform that was highly detached from
the scene. It is no more hidden reality that the women of the west have faced
the consequences of the so called men power in reality as per the ancient
Feminist Movements
The western culture contains some rare elements that are attached with the
culture in composite form and is not applicable in the whole world in effective
way as it should work. The Feminist are clearly comes out after the exploration
of the woman oppression in the United States in the mid of 19th Century. The
jobs sector is the first sector that considered the woman as the thing with the
limited rights to get an as professional life. The next field in the west showed
that the education was being also considered as the field that is far away from
the rights of women so that they can boast. The story was not end yet and the
sexuality comes as the third major field in which the woman oppression was
continue according to ancient epistemology. The last but not the least thing
was the reproductive choice that was relevant towards the enslaved status of
woman in west. (Evans, 2012)
The first wave of Feminist movement ensure that the legal bindings in those
circumstances is very necessary in the development of equality paradigm in
the real manner. The movement was there from the 19th century till the early
of 20th century and showed that the unity is only the one basic rule that makes
the society aware that women are not more separate concept in the society and
should be consulted as per the women desired way. There were four major
states that have particularly such elements that can be called as the suffrage
one. The list includes the United States, Netherlands, Canada and United
Kingdom that have had such elements that took part in the movements at large
scale to gain right to vote. (Joannou, 1998)
The Womens Suffrage Association give boast to the agenda to show that both
need requirement is the way to show the other woman the same as they are
designed to show. The year of 1869 was the year that highlights the way in
which the Feminist view to give the right to vote so that the community based
information can assimilate in the society freely. Susan B. Anthon was the
name, is the name and will be the name that show the woman of that time a
way to get the equality in the right direction and finally the 1919 comes with
the right to vote. (Kampwirth, 2004)
The after effects of the second world war II (1960s) was comes under the name
of second movement and the equal rights amendment (ERA) was the
repercussion of the movement.Second wave movement of the feminism was
the way to discuss the woman legalities as per the discussion showed. This
second way movement was comprised of activities that has outlining the social
and political concepts in the defined way. The social paradigm has been the
way to give the mindset that was buzzing by the main leaders of the association
since the conception of movement. The legal protection was the main thing
that give boast to the objectives of this second wave along with many social
reservations indeed. The gender discrimination was also outlined in the same
wave that showed that this wave of the feminism was severe in action than the
previous one. (Kaplan, 2012)
The third wave movement of feminism comes in 1992 and the left agendas in
previous two movements was the objectives of this movement through the
reality based interventions. The basic purpose of the movement comes when
the second wave movement fail in different aspects. The objectives of this
wave were to gather the voices of young women, non-heterosexual women and
even women of color introspectively. (Roth, 2004)
right of vote, United States officially accepts the word feminist in 1910 and
the appearance become more glaring in that segment of the society. The
feminist thinkers of the west collective their thoughts and the way of thinking
about the women status in terms of different written material in the head
of the movement is entirely deals with the women right in the justified
manner. Every aspect of the women segment in the society should consider
under the previous women equality paradigm in the composite form. The
The only agenda that is integral part in the discussion in whole three waves of
feminist in the west was to get the idea about the feminist movements in the
composite format. The feminist issues are the subject matter that is being
discussed from the start of the movements till the end and these issues were
the main objectives of these movements in the centralized form. Similarly, the
feminist movements are different and same at the same platform because these
movements deal with the issues of women in that times with the same thematic
meaning but different with the different meaningful way to discuss the entire
community of that times. (Wikipedia, 2012)
The working conditions was being considered as the important part of the first
wave of the movements in the west along with the educational right of men
and women on equal basis. The culture always considered as the main element
is not being considered as the equality platform for the women and men. These
cultural inequalities are the second major objectives of the second wave
movements in the west specifically. (Wikipedia, 2012)
The last struggle was the discourse analysis of the things and elements of
failure about the different way as the feminist mindset behaves in different
aspects. Those failures that are attached with the second wave of feminism was
the main objective of the third wave of feminism in the different way and that
wave actually started the movement to overcome the results that has been
found since the conception of the third second wave of feminist movements in
the west. In the end, one can say that the major critique about the material in
the movements of feminism proposed that these movements was truly against
the rules and regulation of many nations but exactly deals with the western
culture importantly. (Wikipedia, 2012)
during its first wave. The days of 19th and 20th century was regarded as the
most important days because the women oppression got the minds of the
woman culture in the composite form. The women mind is the basic too that
ignites the need of feminist movement in its first wave. The days in which the
liberal politics was at highest point further endorsed the idea about the woman
to gain the right to vote through effective way. The liberal politics was included
the new way of democratization in the state to state political environment.
(Krolokke, 2005)
has started indeed. The United States and the Europe were two main regions
where this wave arises. The western society was exploited by the first wave of
women as the eastern society but many critics take this stance as unjustified
one. They think that the first and even other waves of the feminist movements
were entirely against the other nations and only suited towards the updated
industrialization and even the developed societies specifically. (Krolokke,
2005)
The days was still in the history when the women started to use the National
women party as the platform to make a huge protest against the government
government and practices are not acceptable. The creation of the direct and
sole feminist franchise in the Germany further ignites the need to get the
similar franchise in the United States as well. The main purpose to authorize
the freedom and the democracy real myth in United States so that women
could felt the real authority within the society. The result of this oppression in
the society was come when the well-educated and even great thinkers for the
women was about to hanged till death during the jail tenure. (Krolokke, 2005)
The best thing of the movement that they did not show any resistance to the
police affairs and finally this attitude got the attention of the people and even
men were started to endorsed the movement in the meaningful way. The
President Wilson was in support of National; American Womens Suffrage
Association (NAWSA) that was less radical and more appealing at actual. The
inspiration for the further movements of feminism was got in the last days of
the first wave movement. (Krolokke, 2005)
The Alice Paul, Carrie Chapman and even the Anna Howard Shaw were few
names that got their objective under one platform by winning the vote in 1920.
In the end, one can say that the agenda that was outlined by the Elizabeth Cady
Stanton for the equity of women naturally was the main objectives of the right
of vote in 1920. (Krolokke, 2005)
doing with the well versed approach. This wave basically boasts the morale of
thinking about the liberation and the intention to remove the oppression of the
women of that age. The feminist mindset is regarded as the new way to discuss
movements because the women of that age always thinks about the
consideration in which the entire change of life was the honest goal indeed.
The time of 1960s and 1970s was also known as the time that show about the
feminism mindset in liberal format with the radical approach. The new way of
revolution starts when the feminist mindset was judged under the information
that was being collaborative in the complete sense. The second wave of
feminism is the biggest paradigm shift in respect of feminist mindset about the
womens oppression that show what is good for the biggest paradigm and what
is not in different perspective. (Krolokke, 2005)
The underground performance is the way to utilize the whole processing with
the complete format so that the community based approach can target the
lowering the oppression with the discourse analysis so that the women reality
could get the meaningful platform. The women liberation was highly
considerable to give the believe about the way in which the freedom for women
is not a new concept at all. The next agenda of this wave was identified as the
biggest way to discuss the material approach to assure that the women
movements are highly concerned with the postwar western societies.
(Krolokke, 2005)
The major focus of this women was grasped by the sector of the women that
show in the section of women in the working class and even in the blacks as
well. The conscious rising of the group is the way to react with the group
activities as the main element of the movement decided for the approach. The
sexual difference is the more critical than as compared to race and class
difference because the new capitalist mindset was generating in that paradigm
and still not at its peak until the end of second wave of feminist movement. In
the end, one can say that the women struggle is the class struggle in all aspects
and should demanded a new paradigm shift. (Krolokke, 2005)
The three kinds of struggles were the main focus of the community of that age
and the best way to impart in the women equality paradigm. Those three
schools were social at first level. sexual at second level and personal at third
level to show that the women are the biggest part in the community to show
that the women are the integral part of the society and should need it in
comprehensive format. (Krolokke, 2005)
feminist bloc becomes a real issue in the eye of every woman in all aspects. The time comes
for this realization in the early stage of 1990s when the all hopes were risen again under
the same objectives as the second wave of feminist movements constitutes. The other view
about this movement is to get realization about the mistakes and elements of failures in the
second wave indeed. The backfire of the second movement of feminism believe to have
another way of thinking as per the decided actions and reaction on real grounds. (saylor.org,
2007)
much different than they actually conceptual framework of the society in different minds.
The structured concepts about the intra related activities among the gender and sexuality
always provides the centralized thinking and it is also a hidden ideology of the third wave
movement. The micro politics is another mindset that has set when the feminists always
focused upon the what is considered as good for the women in the society and what is still
not so much in requirement as per the decided actions. The game change plan was executed
by the culture when, in 1991, the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas were involved in the
sexual harassment indeed.
The sexuality at workplace was perceived as ill in the second wave but it was wrongly
perceived that the second wave see some resolved issues as the biggest notion but still these
issues are existing even in the third wave as per discussion said in justified way. There was
much published work that show this discrimination of women in the rightist approach. The
favor vote of Thomas in that case worsens the situation further. The personalities like the
Gloria Anzaldua, bell hooks were some that named this wave as the new mind with
subjective nature in the feminist voice that may endorse the role-breaking paradigm while
accepting the things as they are. (saylor.org, 2007)
The race related subjective are another way to discover that third wave is distinctive in
nature and have its own per-requisites in composite format. The above-mentioned Thomas
case give the agile moments at this level to the third wave that the gender and race becomes
the hot issues of that time. The rice major part of the community and poor minor part of
community are not separate able under this wave because the third wave movements have
to include the young minds of feminist with the vision to get success in this battle.
The queer sexuality was being consider able when the sexuality in the same gender was at
its peak in actual terms. The other thing is about the reproductive rights is meaningful
approach to discuss that how the gender is going to take part in the way that way is highly
De-centralized with the minor issues. In the end, one can propose that the women was the
major issue under this wave and the linkage between gender, class even race and nationality
are issues to be discussed and resolved if not individually than there should be platform to
resolve them. (saylor.org, 2007)
Although there are many lowest number of participants were there in the
community that show what is good about the women status in this world within
the boundary of women right in the best approach. The only 133 government
officials took part in the conference that endorse the future of the women
status in the world. The major role that was played by the Nongovernmental
organization to increase the women sector on equality basis. (unwomen.org,
2015)
confronts the world action pan against the implementation of the women
maxim at large scale to fulfill the way as it is being decided already. The 1980
was another year that felt need to get the discourse over the women issues and
agendas related with the oppression of the women. About 145 member states
come close to each other and discuss the matters of education, employment
and even health at large scale in which the discussion matter a lot and the
member states discuss. (unwomen.org, 2015)
The ownership right of the women was also considered u9nder the same
conference agenda. The inheritance is another agenda that was considered as
important as it should be so that the one level transfer may be possible to cover
the next level progress so that the general awareness could boast. In 1985,
Nairobi, was the place where the UN decades specifically for the women, got
way that show what is the best possible in achieving the intention of the women
and about 157 member states were true witness of those talk. (unwomen.org,
2015)
The paradigm shift has been observed under the women oppression and
equality mindset that the community should endorse that the gender equality
is the major issue and should be tackle in as possible as it should be. After the
third wave, in 1995, Beijing proposed the outline agenda to discuss that the
women elements in the community are highest in demand with different
perspective. The conference has the Beijing Declaration through the simple
There are about 12 critical linkages were considered through the systematic
approach that show that women and poverty link is the first mind. The
education and training of the women in almost all fields of life is another task
that is glaring in providing the real myth behind the women. The women and
health of the community is not an old concept and still applicable in different
aspects. The violence culture has been disrupting the nature of women equality
at academic level. The armed conflict along with women is another way of
reckless issues that are highly concerned with the ability of gender to run the
smooth way of activities. (unwomen.org, 2015)
The economy and economics activities are two-way concept that may affect
the women culture in the society. The right to become the powerful image by
getting the various approaches towards the image is being considered over
here. The institutional way is another thing that show the procedural
mechanism cannot ignore in the community. The human rights are the other
systemic approach to get the real image of women and oppressions upon her.
The media role in endorsing the elements of the society and even sometimes
negating the full story behind the women. The environment approach to
discuss the women at large scale is another way to do the discourse so that the
women should implement in the further paradigms. The last thing to discuss
about the nature of women is The girl-child in different look and show that
how community treat with them in little age. (unwomen.org, 2015)
than the western one because the Islamic ideologies are not entirely endorsed
the way that has considered as the freedom of expression through reality-based
model indeed. There were two mainstreams name as the gender and class
importantly that gives the way of thinking about the matters of woman in
Pakistan specifically. The social ills of the society are always deals with the
women in the different way to spread the further chunks of information that
may necessary to draw a attention towards this reckless part of the society.
(Ovais, 2014)
but the least ne is the economics way of thinking about the women status and
linkage with the economic activities. The relaxation that is glaring one while
considering the society as the main element to show that the community is
highly relevant with the issues of women in the Islamic world generally but
most importantly in Pakistan. (Ovais, 2014)
The difference between the law and its direct impact upon women section of
the society endorsed that the women is the biggest thinking paradigm that may
happen as the best one that decided to talk about the women and not to talk
about the women. The Islamic foundations that is prevailing in Pakistan is not
openly negating the role of women in Pakistan but also against the openness
of women in society as the western media allow it to do. (Ovais, 2014)
considerable element that may negate the rules of western women in the
composite format. The relationship between the labor and capital, taxation and
the property maxim is not left the women far behind in getting the real data to
analyze the status of women in Pakistan and resultantly draw the attention
The support of lower women tenets in the society is always considerable at the
point that show that the women is the integral part of the society and always
behave oppositely. The relation of women and the state in Pakistan is
something else than the relation between the women and Islamic ideology
argues in the Pakistan. Since the conception of women ideology the women
is being considered as the most important element to discuss that either the
community endorse the role of women in society or negate it. (Ovais, 2014)
The third world country that considered the development of society only at the
basis of developmental matters through the eye of women is entirely different
than in the Pakistan. In the end one can say that the women consideration in
the society is completely different with the paradigm that may endorse the role
of women as per the debates matters a lot. (Ovais, 2014)
finally the re shaping of the gender equalities on several bases. The sustainable
environment across the globe is the biggest platform to show that either the
gender is the biggest learning platform or not. The social change in society is
the way that is enough to initiates the discourse analysis about the difference
of gender at societal level. The inequities that are based upon the gender at
mass level considered the discourse way to behave in the society so that the
differentiation could not negates the societal aspects in different paradigms.
(ilo.org, 2015)
The women equality is the big paradigm shift that can tackle the women issues
in all aspects because the women equality can be achieved through the
discourse of gender and development in all aspects. The social change that
hinder the developmental stages and the ways to show that the gender is an
absolute phenomenon to discuss the pattern that can exactly differ between the
best and ill of factors in the society. The sustainable development in the society
is the basic purpose to deal with the gender so that situation can handle
completely. (ilo.org, 2015)
There are several impacts that may show that the equality among the women
association among the women and men at large scale show that the
community approach is biggest one to show that the employment level should
enhance at both the gender and development consideration. (ilo.org, 2015)
thought most the time about the financial gains more than anything else.
Consciously, the capitalist perspective of the gender is most likely to ponder
upon the capitalism more than anything else. The combined force of free trade
economy, private ownership and even the workforce maxim the main by
product comes when the employee and employer relations could be beneficial
in getting the maximum benefits from the streamline of gender in the society.

women at home from corporate level. The capitalist mode of production is the
way that hindered the performance of working class so that the community can
get the real meaning of working style in all aspects. The gender relations are
community level approach is the real time intervention to show that the
capitalist perspective is the major way to think about the gender and should
not ignore in any facet of society. (LUGONES, 2012)
The capitalist society itself is not a major issue for the employer but the Islamic
views are. The Islamic views, teaching norms and values are highly centralized
with the different aspects of gender with the discourse analysis. The women
even in the most of the Asian counties considered as the way of thinking about
at western social perspective rather than the Islamic view of women that may

The traditional family system is biggest paradigm have the belief to behave in

even in sexuality that comes to the point that may enables the understanding

The women of color are the advance phenomenon that may show that the
women are the basic reality in world and should develop the way that may
endorse the image of women in society more than anything else. The
framework analysis in three elements one element is the gender, second one is
the race and third element is the colonization that may hinder the performance
of gender in the society in entire approach. These aforementioned approaches
come in the discussion by the third world scholars of feminism to get the real
cause behind this biggest ill of the society. (LUGONES, 2012)
The gender differences need a composite platform that can gather the data in
the procedural form about the gender difference in various facet of the gender.
After the gathering of information about the gender differences, the other thing
is to examine it with the reasoning and logics mostly buzzed through the
scholarly material. In such way, the information assimilates from one aspect
to another and the identification goes on. In the other way, the gender
difference is not the only paradigm to think but the social relations are also
and even the reshaping of different aspects that are highly considerable in
gender studies.
Developmental Theories
The modernization theory is another way to discuss the various changes that
are incorporating by the society in some decades ago only. The major think
that is being under the debate in modernization theory is about the impacts of
the process of modernization on the communication of human with the detailed
analysis. This way gives the historical touch and with the historical grounds
the most advance thing is to consider the sociological inspiration that show
that modernization comes when the formalities are being discussed in the
absolute manner. Social life is the main platform that should be discuss
because the life span is the hardest core and biggest reality that cannot ignore
in any case. The social life organization is only possible with the best
communication skills and myths that are still in the way of realization. The
worldwide realization about the communication developed at that time when
the world is considering the importance of the commutation across the fields
of life.
World System theory thinks and react with the different fragments of the
society in the manner that show about the realization in the society because the
community level approach discusses different ways as per the decided way.
The World System theory argues about the different economic system
prevailed in the countries that almost have the changed social structure as per
the demands said. The world economic system is the biggest truth of the
society and benefits of countries are about at verge to be exploit in any all
cases.
The dependency theory that was comes during the second wave of feminism
showed that the Raul Prebisch is the main thinker of society of that time. He
proposed that big and even biggest nations according to economy are getting
the success even at the expense of small countries that are considered as poor
one. If one extremist believe could define this, then he would say that the
dependency theory is about all the view that was presented by the Marxist
mindset of recent times in the history of this world.
society about the various forms and trends that are important to society. The
Structures involved in the universal paradigm that are even more persistent in
the nature with consideration of all aspects. The inter-relationships showed that
the community based approach is the biggest way to discuss even the setbacks
that could be cover and should be tackled. The functionalism is about the
system ability that may show that the community level approach is about to
happen as the way in which discussion is the only way to consider the
requirement in the society.
modern areas in all aspects. The major factor that has string impact on the
development of gender is the social aspect. This influence starts from the birth
and over there at death. The social factor is there when the individuals among
the gender is alone and even among the peers. The influence is enforcing and
widening day by day with different way. The second factor that impacts on
gender development in this modern world is the economic conditions. (Chege,
2013)
Modernization Theory
These conditions are glaring in modern society and one can argue that the
proposed material advancement is the main factor behind this fact. The
economic conditions are the ways in which the gender, most importantly
women think differently from the men. The difference of mindset on economic
and social issues or activities are the ways to explore the gender difference and
endorsed the developmental issues in this respect. The third thinking sphere is
the community is most important and even do better than anything else during
the development. But one can say that the political needs are truly the modern
based phenomena and did not regulate the skills that are necessary during the
developmental phase. (Chege, 2013)
conceptual framework cannot deals equally with the women in the society and
probably sometimes negates it in all several aspects. No doubt, the problem is
severe enough to get attention of the audience about the different fragments in
the society. The scholars platform of community also created much material
to give a pragmatic approach to deal with the problem so that the problem
effect could be lowest in intention. (Chege, 2013)
respective way show that the community can only happens with the ways as
per the necessity of society. The surrounding ideas about the development can
come in front with the full approach to show that the modernization could be
a best tool to get the main ideas. For this purpose, the tool of modernization
theory has generated in the society and this society is necessary for
development. Basically, the modernization theory in the development comes
to explore the relation and difference between the first world and third world
through the argumentative material in different approaches. The global
system always endorsed the reality of boundaries in which the social, political
and even economic matters could discuss easily. The boundaries provide a
complete outlook in which the necessity of things are so important in the
complete approach. The boundary approach is true in nature and composite in
World-System Theory
These boundary approach deals satisfactory with the structure required as per
the assistant in which the basic purpose is to explore the real-time approach so
that the gender development could be retained in the explorative demand. The
members group approach with the different tools and procedures are exactly
deals with the rules of legitimating through the basic need of development can
be analyzed. The idea generation is so much coherent as well because the
personal approach is so much important in development that there is no
substitute of it in any case. (Vela1, 2001)

The theory actually deals with the developmental myths because the
development pursuits for the change in element that may change at individual
level but may be constant as it is in other level. From the other point of view,
the way of life is entirely changed due to the model of self-contained in any
aspect because life is something that is more personal than general. The sum
of idea can give another look by saying that the idea is about the procedural
and internal development rather than external one. A world-system is all about

getting the real way through procedural thinking. (Vela1, 2001)

never ignore in any case while getting the real time approach. The third world
country primarily Latin America was considered as the main platform from
which this concept has come before the world as the newest thinking paradigm.
Dependency Theory
Thinkers who actually do an introspective approach while considering the third
world dependency as the main element in different approaches, while
controlling the unjust and even reckless situations across the globe.
Economically speaking, third world countries were having the various least
economic activities as compare to developed countries. The politically
epitomizing, the third world countries have the lowest level at political
platform while the developed countries have biggest democratization system
in relative approach. The defensive approaches are different and needy as well
but surprisingly, the developed countries have the basic military resources to
protect themselves but third world countries have no such barricade in proper
way. (udel.edu, 1999)
The other aspect about the third world economies showed that the agricultural
impact is important to these and developed one have no such realization
specifically at agricultural grounds. This are so many gaps between these two
main platform and this discussion started from recent times and still continue.
Thinkers at dependency platform always want to explore such inequalities with
the complete code of life. The life is depending upon different elements and
these elements are different from one another. To know the difference in actual
If one says that such inequalities are not justifiably do with the societies in any
aspect, then it is not a false statement in any case. To mitigate such differential
elements in any case with the best possible approach can lower the differences
between the nations, thinking and finally the peoples that are highly demanded
in this globalized world. The critiques also placed some arguments about the
dependency theory and most of them are western-centered and those thinks
that dependency theory behaves with the Marxist concepts and specifically
those concepts that the blame of inequalities were given to the developed
countries as the same in the dependency theory. The blame of differences
negates the separate minds of Marxist and dependency and wrongly perceived
these two schools with the same root. (udel.edu, 1999)
have the proper way of dealing with the relationship s between the various
societal institutions that are highly centralized with the differential ideas. For
example, government is the societal aspect and the basic element that show the
practical information and integrate with the law, education and religious
activities in the full authoritative approach.

When the social institutions come with one another than the societal needs
come in to being and these societal needs should be dealt with the pragmatic
aspect, one can say that the community without the fulfillment of these needs
can never sustain in any aspect. The most important role in structural
functionalism mindset is incorporating by the individuals and these individuals
are the key component of the society in any way that always tends to maintain
the needs according to the realization of those needs.
The most important aspect is there to analyze that goods and services should
realize and act according to the norms of the society. The other key idea in
structural functionalism is about the concept of groups and even the bigger
institutions. The shared common norms among groups and even among
institutions showed the relative force to deal with the effectiveness can be
justified only with the proper exploration of needs and their accomplishments.
Norms of the society is required a correlation with the different needs and
interventions as mentioned-above.
According to Robert K. Merton the most basic concepts are most integrated
with the society rather than the high level concept and its framework. The
religious way of dealing with people is required a discourse analysis through
the initialization of club system between them. The natural way of organizing
the institutions is the way that asserts the need to do with the best options
required for doing the informative services against the institutional obligations
that is the most important and glaring way. For example, the Gender inequality
is the main thing that main incorporated in the society and women knows that
for the smooth working of the society, the realization of hierarchy is most

cannot separate from the current trends while thinking about the human in this
advance age. The women issues and ways to mitigates those issues are always
economic mind that show that how the exploitation of women is trendy in
(GAD) and mostly termed as the gender role framework by the researchers of
that time and even some called it as the social relations analysis in composite
format. Now, after the introduction of GAD the whole paradigm shifting was
being divided as the whole literature on gender with the discourse analysis.
GAD was promoted with factors in the society who endorsed the role of
socialistic feminist thinking. The macro-economic level is being explored as
one of the main platform that always considered the knowledge-based material
as needed. The second shift is about the womens empowerment strategies and
the proper implications of strategies in the composite concept. The detailed
research showed that the social relations analysis cannot complete unless the
womens empowerment is being tested. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
The conferences both at national level and event at the platform of United
Nations explore the epistemological element in the study and showed that the
study is highly centralized with the women issues. The policy goals are new to
the platform because these goals essentially covered the whole material based
approach to show that either the information is necessary to explore so that the
women issues could tackle effectively. The shift from WID to developmental
agencies was only adopted on the basis that show that majority of the people
are the basic target and applied in overall paradigm. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
that is being descriptive in nature and behaves in the best way to accomplish
the task as needed to exploit. The modernization theory is new paradigm shift
in which the modern concepts are always deals in the new format and with the
new approach. The modernization theory was the need of time and always
considered as the main source of information in advance level approach.
was guiding the whole principles in the gender issues. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
The illustration in the starts of WAD mind in the community was not justified
in any case because this mindset demands the integration between women and
development that is typically regarded as the myth. In opposite way, the only
focus here at this platform was justified when the women platform shows some
As the matter of discussion shifted from one level to another in getting the
economic and societal structure in the best possible way. Every facet at
economic condition and every aspect in societal structure is being judge and
monitored within the women sector. The international platform is not valuing
the things directly related with these roles of women in society. This is the
the thinking for the female development proposed the term, women in
development and still this term is implying across the gender studies with its
full pace. This was the time of 1970s and still that feminist mindset is reacting
with the women platform in the complete form. One can have said on the basis
of theories of development that the modernism is reacting with the men
differently and its reaction with women is also not as it is with the men. The
conceptual framework of modernism is getting its worst affects when it is
being considered with the modern minds. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
are working under the United Nations thinks about the alternative mindset and
one can say that the agenda of Women in Development (WID) was not so
much minute that it can ignore in the big platform. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
The liberal feminist at that time considered the employment in the second
priority along with the equal rights at first. The United States was the centre of
phenomenon in the best approach because the American women with the
strong political rights can only survive in situation. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
The most important aspect is about the agencies of socialization that were
always considerable in identifying the strategies and accomplishing the task in
the further exploring mindset. The WID actual wants that girls should get
appropriate training so that the role models could established in the society in
terms of women and equality based could strong. The opportunities for men
the society are less for women but the same opportunities are piled up at men
perspective. This is the total wrong perception that negates the equal rights
agenda in any aspect. The equality of gender at the most advance platform is
always done with the best approach and should be required in any case. (Razavi
& Miller, 1995)
The legislation is dealt with the ability as the women can show and equal in
both men and women with the transparent way. The need of legislation across
the field is the need of women since the inception of mind that women is being
considered as separate from men and this wrong concept should be negated in
all platforms. The free labor market under the different legislation focuses
upon the way as it should show and is showing in all aspects. In the end, one
can say WID was te paradigm shift and its agendas are still searchingly for
new development phases that may address the women and its issues on high
level. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
obtain and may be amend accordingly. The system that are involved in the
United Nation to get the real maxim behind the women issues starts piling up
at National level. The agencies that are highly centralized in working with the
best approach show that the community is endorsing the role of women in
different approaches so that the system could retain its originality. (Razavi &
Miller, 1995)
responsible for the reckless conditions of women in that time and the same
community can only have addressed with the amalgamation of women sector
with the such agencies under different official bodies of different countries.
Such intervention made the women issues more glaring in society officially
and finally this paradigm got the success through the majority of people. The
United Nations along with its debate corner is the biggest paradigm that thinks
about the women and it finally draw attention of women under the
development process. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
The dual platform was achieved and these two platform comes close to each
other with national and international settings. This new thinking articulates a
new way that endorsed the reality according to different concerns. In 1979, the
Elimination of All forms of discrimination against women was raised and still
traces are found even in this age. This new way alters the thinking, thinking
that show gender as the part of social and cultural since origin, thinking that
show the physiological way is not satisfactory meets all demands in the relative
approach and thinking that social relations at earth matter a lot with the
introspective approach. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
The gender relations with different meanings and different ways always
descriptive in nature and perceptive in action. The relationship between the
gender is the explorative in nature because it shows that women; doing is
another thing as the men in active manner. The doing of men is almost visible
in the culture and women, up to some extent are not glaring in comparison.
The sociological approach describes the relations as the total positive attitude
in any way. The gender is proved through the identity and this identity is much
demanded in every way. This gender identity is depending upon the social
construction for the immediate decision-making. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
one, state is the third one and community is the fourth one platform to discuss
the things in the integral way. For example, the biggest enforcement was got
by the women segment by the launch of volume named as of Marriage and the
Market in 1981 and this volume provided the great understanding in different
ways. (Razavi & Miller, 1995)
general and women in specific because the human being always in pursuits for
the justification tool for the domination of men over women. One can say that
the WAD approach to gender considered and sometimes endorsed the
patriarchy existence in the society and also buzzed that this existence cannot
ignore in any case. The radical thinking at feminist platform also have the
implicit wish for the creation of new system because the new and improved
system enriched with the myths of feminism should available and presented
here for the betterment of society. (iimk.ac.in, 2015)
the community is still having the traces of development with respect to women
and issues. This creation of new system always preferable when it is highly
against the men ability to dominate. This approach is not a separate from all
aspects but there was also some NGOs at government level exists so that the
system-thinking can penetrate in to society and always behaves with the best
possible method. It was known fact that patriarchal domination is the way to
exploit resources without disrupting the maxim in any case. (iimk.ac.in, 2015
It is very difficult to fight for rights for women when the culture is there in the
side of men and also accepts the domination of men in different ways. This
developmental approach to gender is riskier than WID and GAD because it
wants to create the social structure within the society without alarming the men
domination. The differentiation starts when the women structure in the society
was considered as the entire different thinking and way to perceive the women
in the society. The academics did a lot to enhances this mindset in the society.
The working opportunities and situations needs a entire different way and this
need was first identified under the WAD approach to gender. (iimk.ac.in,
2015)
The goals allocations to the men was different, therefore, the scholars of the
WAD approach created the new goals for women so that women maxim could
rise in society with all its element approach. The next thing about the WAD
approach was that the WAD approach discussed the women responsibilities
remove the oppression at women level. For example, Africa was considered as
the main hub that made easiness in formulating such agenda for women under
this approach. The agriculture sector of the Africa has some elements while
producing the bulk of agriculture products in all systems. (iimk.ac.in, 2015)
exists rules and policies so that the women issue can provide a solution. There
were two types of organization of women element available in than society.
One type of the separate women structure that demanded enormous patient and
have the lowest result and other is about the integration framework and it looks
more important and proper function able in different terms. (iimk.ac.in, 2015)
monetary fund body across the world that proposed that the huge mis-balance
is experiencing now a day though even the big countries. The countries are
always not willing to pay for the debt as they acquired in early approach
through proper loan system. Now the bigger or developing countries needs a
huge amount to revamp their economies at large scale in the introspective
manner. The economy can rebuild only when they depend upon the economies
in the different aspects. The long term debt is the best way to boast the
economy in no time and this is the basic phenomenon that should apply.
conditions of the economy at large scale. The debt requires to rebuild the
system of import and export so that the business activities can get the proper
with the economy at macro level. The economic conditions and the proposed
structure always widens the scope of poverty and show that the poverty is
linkage in the further exploration mode. (Campbell, 2010)
This thinking further wants to shift in economy and finally the reckless
situations create the poverty platform in the country that is even more
disruptive than the original economic disabilities are. The written objectives
about the whole structure of the poverty is being monitored through the latest
information about the poverty and its ways to mitigate this phenomenon from
the country. The other attached paradigm of thinking is about the growth
platform. (Campbell, 2010)
The growth is necessary to the country that show that either the internal
community can attach with the poverty and could show some positives results
only when there is sum of amount is being provided by the internal forums as
IMF is one of them. The exploration of structural adjustment policies (SAPs)
The critique believed that the entire account cannot satisfactory meet the
demands unless or until there is proper check and balance in the gap analysis.
That analysis actually provides through the general level more than the specific
intervention. The gender base analysis is entirely removed from the approach
and cannot accomplish in any aspect. (Campbell, 2010)
the economic resources already available over there and also at the verge of
depletion in the same state of people. Such move of people called as the
transnational move of the people and it is glaring now a day. The biggest
concentrating in the medium and large cities only and the main reason of
women considered as the first priority even in the economic conditions of the
conditions more effectively and this whole framework is about the gender
equality. (WorldBank, 2012)
The trade openness is the biggest shift that is highly centralized with the
reputation of the country about the platform of gender equality even in this
globalized world. The concept of stringer connection between the women and
scale of economies at state level is the basic way of dealing with gender
equality. The extra ordinary focus of women at globalized jobs platform
The globalized world understands and even endorsed that the countries have
international standing and the ranking among the third worlds countries is now
shifting from men to women considerations and actions for them. The last but
not the least impact of global on gender is that gender equality maxim is
spreading all over the world and developing countries considered it as the
essential while monitoring the women sector of developed countries that is not
so much hidden due to globalization. (WorldBank, 2012)
The relationship of gender and globalization made it easy to use the platform
of women for success and call the capitalization. The global world is dealing
Pakistan in 1994, said at that time that Pakistan intention and Pakistan health
care system can never tackle the issues of population leaving in the rural areas
and in those areas the health care unit is about seven kilometers away
averagely. This is the fact that the same kind of issues are currently prevailing
in the health sector and the main victim of this negligence are women, if one
can say coherently. (who.int, 2015)
professionals so that the health sector can flourish with the ways as it is
designated to behave in different nodes. (who.int, 2015)
The professionals of health care are a best way to show in the reckless situation
different aspects. The policy makers in Pakistan has been struggling with the
health care issues of women since the conception of health care system in
Pakistan. The new issues rising is another way to discuss the best approach in
different aspects because the health care system is the basic way to think about
the futuristic issues with the coherent approach. (who.int, 2015)
The health behaviors matter a lot with different aspects because the health care
interventions are likely to begin in the future and most importantly in the near
future. The health behaviors are well settled in the way that is exactly a ruthless
way to share the opinion in different aspects because the women; health is the
major issues and facing various arguments as well. For example, the most
important and highest issues in women health status are maternal health, life
The diseases are about to come in the way and can health the future paradigm
in further aspects but the policy making is necessary to achieve the real time
goals as most expected for the further research. The medical interventions with
different ways are the best way to exploit the resources of Pakistan while
getting down the issues in further information acquisition. (who.int, 2015)
The health care issues are numerous in Pakistan and recent north Waziristan
war in south west region of Pakistan is another recent aspect that increases the
health issues threat specifically for women. The women of Pakistan have been
suffering from the ills of society about the health care interventions that should
be tackled in any aspects. The need of program of health care workers that was
launched in 1994 need another round so that the medical problems can get the
resolutions in every way. (who.int, 2015)
and did not show any intention to improve in any aspect in the whole year. The
health scare sector of Pakistan has never been a priority at state level and never
discussed at any debate agenda so far. In 2014 analysis, report said in the
conclusive mode that the Pakistan has the weakest health care system in south
Asia and state run hospitals are not moving towards achieving the best goal as
it have to achieve. The achievement of health care is the greatest risk to the
whole system and still the women is the main victim of this reckless system.
(Ahmed, 2014)
women can never elevate unless or until the medical education have some
quality standards to measure that is almost absent from the Pakistan health care
sector. The usage of advance technology in medical fields and the ways that
are being utilized are updated in the whole world and left the Pakistan behind
in the South Asian region. Pakistan women have no access to the health in such
a way that can provides her a way to consider the better future for her child.
(Ahmed, 2014)
UNICEF in 2013 treated about the 7 million women that was about to
collapsed due to illness. This is the due to the women health status that till
2013 about 182,000 women have no direct nutritional facility at all and
UNICEF provided it. The absence of provision of micro-nutrient at women
level is another issue of Pakistan and outside organization have grave interest
to boast this field in beneficial way. The pregnancy is the most critical
condition in the women life span and the health facilities are almost detachable
in this matter. (Unicef, 2013)
The HIV is the most attacked disease during the pregnancy and need a serious
treatment in Pakistan. About 7 per cent women are with positive HIV during
is never discussed in any aspects and never achieved the desired objectives in
any case. About 30,000 women die before giving the birth to child during the
pregnancy period and pregnancy related complications. Alas! the status of
womens health in Pakistan has been struggling and still the conditions of
health of women is not appreciate able in any aspect. (Unicef, 2013)
and the main reason is the misplaced priorities of the government at large scale.
The status of women in education level got the real time boast but after the
unfortunate event of Malala Yousafzai that show the real and some reckless
intention for the women education in Pakistan made the availability of women
across the fields in Pakistan specifically. Now the Pakistani women is the
artisan and even the trade sector is showing some traces of women in the
complete meaning full way. (dawn.com, 2015)
girls child is the main victim of this dark side of story. The quality of education
and its complete acquisition at poor is not monitoring satisfactory because of
this poverty issue. After the poverty factor that hinders the role of education at
women level, another factor is about the discrimination among the different
getting the real meaning with full approach as the women sector should have.
(dawn.com, 2015)
The women sector in struggling for the education due to inadequate teachers
in the relevant fields with the extensive knowledge base. The complete
ignorance of training and development at teacher level did not provides a new
teacher base for the women to teach them so that nation can reshaped under
those chunks of society. Some so called religious parties have the wrong
interpretation of Islam said that the women cannot be considered as the real
time part as the men at individuals base has. The wrong interpretation of Islam
The 8th March is being observed as the women day and this day the most

The women are one that always considered as the factor that boast the national
role of education by teaching their child. The creation of human capital is not
possible the education of women in large scale. Factually Speaking, the gender
gap in Education at Pakistan perspective is not a hidden dilemma from the
international media and about 55 per cent girls in Pakistan are outside the
schools till the date. At the end, one can say that the condition of women status
in education in Pakistan is not so appreciate able and discourse analysis at
Islamic teachings. The more discourse analysis was never done against the
working of women in the whole sector. The participation rate of working at
women sector is the important link that always develops the new ways in the
appropriate manner. (Sadaquat & Sheikh, 2011)
is about the traditional bindings that did not allow the work to be used as the
working staff as much as male is working under the same traditional network
of the same society. Traditionally, the women are being considered as the main
The cultural values are another platform that negates the women as the
working material because the economy and culture goes against each other and
the integration of these field is not possible, essentially in Pakistan case. The
values of culture are the value that should be obeyed by the whole society and
women are strictly bound to act according to those values. Those values that
can bear the loss of economy without the participation of women but did not
allow their females to take part to improve the economy, this is the harsh reality
of Pakistan along with the colonial ideologies in which the idealist behavior is
the only behavior with different paradigms. (Sadaquat & Sheikh, 2011)
The colonial ideology is the way that demands the highest cultural myths with
the way as society improves. The labor market is always searching for the new
talents, the new blood and the new gender to be included in it so that the new
ways of effectiveness should devised as per the required actions. The social
institutions outside the labor market is exactly did against the intentions of
In the end, one can say that the market discrimination is more diverted towards
the women and women is the main victim of these discrimination. The only
cause behind the creation of two segments in job, one segment represents the
low paid jobs and other segment is about the low status jobs. The unorganized
sectors of Pakist6an welcomes the participation of women that has less
Pakistan with almost no security of employment are more likely to take the
risk by getting the women in employment. This reckless situation of women
and its employment relation in Pakistan is almost separate from the rest of
world partially and sometimes seems completely. (Sadaquat & Sheikh, 2011)
There are many hidden and unexplored challenged imposed by the society of
Pakistan regarding the women who always pursuit for the gender equality in
Pakistan. The violence of gender base studies was kept the women aside up to
the limited access to the general culture. The gender base is also getting the
appropriate ways to boast the morale of women in reality because the women
sector is a hot agenda in rising the issues in the respective manner. The so
called norms and regulations are nowhere deals with the law because the legal
interpretation of women rights are always get the debate corner in reality.
(unwomen.org, 2012)
women make over the society. For example, on International Women Day
2012, the President of Pakistan has signed a law regarding the human rights
interventions for women so that the law can explore the gender violence most
importantly. The National Commission signing over the women status and it
is the basic way that explore the reality with the several means. (unwomen.org,
2012)
Therefore, women bill; 2012 was the bill that provides some kind of shelter for
the human rights at women level. Under the bill, the best thing about the
autonomy at financial and administrative level provided a best way to achieve
the success in the particular manner. Furthermore, in 2011, the country also
included the Anti women practices Bill and that bill got the superiorly in the
national law according to its specific activities related with the women
The acid violence ion roads and even sometimes at home was the major
concern in that law. In addition to it, the forced marriage was also considered
as the extra judicial activity with the best practices of law. The journey of
oppression of women is not ended yet because the women has been suffering
from the honor killings in Pakistan as well that is the worst form of violence
indeed that deals specifically with the protection given by the state and how
that protection is misleading in every aspect was discussed in preamble of Law.
(unwomen.org, 2012)
The December 2011 was the game changer in the history of law regarding the
The west has the intention to protect women more than the East because the
several agendas are important to west but less prioritized to other countries. It
does not mean that the west has more importance according to women sector
as compare to other nations. Every country, every nation and almost every
individual have its own interpretation of women rights that is more disruptive
situation indeed for the rest of world. Pakistan is always an interesting case
study for the west so that they can humiliate the Pakistan on the agenda of
women status in different aspects. (Sathar, Crook, Callum, & Kazi, 1988)
the South west Aisa. The countries have the strong agenda about the
infrastructure development and almost have no way out over the women
development any more. The subordinate sector of the women is never an issue
in any sense because the community of these countries are always negates the
heightened role of women in different sectors. The other thing is about the
main focus of west is about the Pakistan because creation of insurgencies at
first was considered as important to the Pakistan. (Sathar, Crook, Callum, &
Kazi, 1988)
The women health is the first and preliminary focused agenda of United
Nation and its subsidiaries. The Pakistan health sector did not focused towards
the women health that the main source of the population. It is the known fact,
that the women is always have a particular role to play in the society and this
society is the basic focused society according to the health Issue of women.
The other case study about the status of women is about its education. The
educating the girl have several ills in the cultural-centered community as the
Pakistan is. The Pakistan is the basic platform that did not intervene
in educating the women in any sense because women is the basic way to
The norms and rules of the so called traditional society of Pakistan did not
allow the women to get the education in any way because the education has
never been an agenda of Pakistan as the history tells one. The other detrimental
effect in the society is the job section of the women. the women is the basic
way to study the culture of Pakistan and now the employment sector have no
seats of the women and one can say that women and employment is now never
considered as a two faces of the same coin. (Sathar, Crook, Callum, & Kazi,
1988)
The job section is the way that deliver the knowledge-sharing criterion in vast
range. The last but not the least segment is about the law and law forming
discussed the agenda in the relative format. The amendments of law in the
biggest form has been an issue at general level in Pakistan and women has the
main effect through the law. (Sathar, Crook, Callum, & Kazi, 1988)
The decision-making platform is the biggest platform from the household and
this is not only bounded with the household decisions. The policy making at
for the immediate procedural settings. The Women is altogether being the
ignored gender under the whole phenomenon and the only reason behind is
come as the cause of the gender studies globally. (Brody, 2009)
Defining Governance
The women have the equal participation in governance and the platform of
governance is the way to explore the different hidden phenomenon with the
under the influence of gender and governance that is most important debate as
well. The role of women is the role that is being incorporate as the best applied
way to discuss the reality in the beneficial approach. (Brody, 2009)
The decisions are important to all individuals either that individual is the
women or men itself. The transformation of ideas from one level to another is
the way to explore the simplify the gender role specifically at government
about the gender. The governance is the biggest concept and often fits under
different platforms most importantly when it uses in different contexts. The
context changes also change the meaning of governance and also the ways in
which these elements behave. (Brody, 2009)
When numerous people thinks about the decision-making with the same
interested people at the same caliber than the governance perceive about the
decision making for the mass. The decision-making that have the strong impact
upon the men as well as on women sector equally draw the conclusion that has
strong impact upon the gender and this decision goes with the different
societies in the introspective manner. The ordinary citizens including men and
women are equal parts of society because these decisions are relevant with the
different needs of society equally. (Brody, 2009)
The stakeholders that were setting in the power always comes with the strategy
that is highly impacted upon the citizens of the country. The whole decision at
governance level is being important because resources at national level is the
important thing to show the relative benefits. The national resources are
publicized in the manner to reshape the whole national institutions so that they
can comes up with the different benefits for the women as for the men. (Brody,
2009)
The first meaning that comes in the mind when the thinking starts about the
governance is the national government but as the matter of fact the decision
making also effected through the various international governance institutions
like UN and WTO and even the civil society organizations at International
level. (Brody, 2009)
The Suffragist Movement was started when the first intention was observed
and implement through the women with the introspective way. The movement

against the government so that the reform development could set as per the

the way that the highly suitable for the immediate realization with other means

Suffragist Movement
The governance is the art to articulates the different elements at one place so
that those elements can endorse the way that can lowers the oppression of the
women from dawn to dusk. The first time in the history the UK daily mail has
given the name of the movement as the Suffragette and this was completely as
derogatory term that was used at that time. The starts of movement have the
strong agenda that there should be reputable place of women in the national
and international affairs of politics that was considered as the main agenda of
the movement in reality. (suffragist.com, 2015)
The main agenda behind the movement was set to do the developmental
approach with the relative way in which the national politics was the limit. The
movement includes the bad day during the women struggle from the outside
women standing ignorance top the torturing the movement women in prison
there was huge signs hat national thinking about the movement was entirely
against the realization of movement and the worth of the movement. The
national politics did not include the right to vote at least level and the
parliamentarian status in the vast level approach. (suffragist.com, 2015)
The movement was the stats of sympathy gaining process at women level as
the times passes. The starts of movement were entirely rejected with the
argument that if the women have the husband than why should the need arises
at massive level to come and vote for. The husband is the sole representative
of the family and can vote as per the women wants but the same vote should
be casted by the name of men. This was the biggest negative point that was
raised at that time against thee suffragist movement. (suffragist.com, 2015)
The starts of movement were kick off when the first womens right convention
was observed among the leaders of movement centralized at Seneca Falls, New
York with the agenda to gain the political worth. The traces of movement were
found in the year of 1848 and the struggle was started at that time that was
continued for the next 50 years and the women becomes the major agenda
under the coverage of Suffragist movement with the best governance approach.
The main element to be focused over here was the gender that was the most
glaring topic of that time in which the vote was the key element.
(suffragist.com, 2015). In the end, one can say that it was the fruit of long
struggle of many years that one election day 1920, the women used their rights
to cast a vote and becomes the part of national politics at that time.
women while voting but the matters was the biggest enough that negates the
role and further exaggerates the situations. (UN)
vote since the conception of women role in the politics generally in the world
but the campaign specifically initiated from United States. The United States
was the biggest place that negated the role of women in the general politics
with several reason may be some of theme was explored during the women
movement and other have still needs some explorations. (UN)
The stereotypes behavior of the gender with the several aspects that needs to
be removed instantly. The United States has been considered as the place
where the women was not so free that can do the extra ordinary job for the rest
of society. The political interest was the biggest challenge that has imposed
many ills in the society as the previous politicians thinks about the political
agendas. The next thing that was disrupted in the same manner is about the
political participation always seen as the negative elements with the women.
(UN)
The Nineteenth Amendment derives as the main head that was truly based
through the constitution towards the right to vote in reality. The right to vote
has achieved but still waiting for the globalized acceptance across the world to
show the role of women in the international acceptance of women as the part
of politics. In 2006, for example, the pilot study for the American National
Election studies analyzed that the woman has less role in participation with the
efficient ways to behave as per the discussion endorsed the reality of women
as the advance level voters. (UN)
The both sexes and the gender in reality is the basic way to articulate the
different dimensions with various aspects in different times. The political sense
of the women is less admirable as compare to men with the several decisionmaking skills that is only present at male level. The peace is the key element
that has been in discussion since the establishment show off with the various
facet of women platform. (UN)
The peace among the hands of women is more glaring with the various ways
as it has been in the discussion with the various views about the gender
equality. The democratic role of the women is highly considerable with the
same platform recognition that advances the role of women as the voter and
even the political representation. (UN)
what has been important and what is not but the women knows it completely
to build up the priority list with the discourse realization in different aspects.
The women should also involve in politics so that the gender issues in women
as the biggest part of the society can be transformed into the voters. (UN)
politics and the main reason of the politics of women are to get the free and
fair institutions in Pakistan without any forceful event. The free participation
of women was firstly considered by the Pakistan when the first Report of the
Commission of Inquiry for Women was come in August 1997. (Reyes, 2002)
and the political settings of the country. The next body that was agile in
empowering the women was the women-centered field in which the direct
election quota is the biggest agenda at women sector. The commission at that
time and the all women related institutions are aware about the women
representation in the political institutions and demands about the 33 per cent
women quota in the political arena. (Reyes, 2002)
This was the first move when Pakistan showed that the arguments against the
Pakistan about the women oppression were entirely wrong and Pakistan is the
Islamic country with the liberal believes as well. The women quota in the
political institutions in Pakistan is not new to all previous constitutions namely;
1956, 1962, 1970 and even the 1973 but the implementation of the quota as
per the strategy formulation was almost absent in those days. Therefore, a new
wave of Political Quota in Pakistan has been observed with the endorsements
The then parliaments did not endorse the women participation and the quota
allocation in any way as the today government thinks and almost applies the
same. The last tenure before the military quo in the last years of the
20th century, parliament had 2 per cent quota at women level in the senate and
about 4 per cent in provincial and the federal level that was satisfactory
according to the needs of that time. (Reyes, 2002)
The local government has the biggest wish to take to consent of the women
while forming the government because the local government issued about 5 to
12 per cent quota in political participation at women level. This was the biggest
way to think and considered as the paradigm shift in political realizations in
The latest election of 2013 showed that the women comes out in the biggest
format to cast their vote and showed that the women representation is
necessary for the political wheel of the country. Nevertheless, as the matter of
fact, still about 11 million women are still not even registered as the voters and
only need to enfranchise those 11 million women so that the quota of political
system could get the latest figures of improvements in the best possible way.
(Reyes, 2002)
several realities about the inter disciplinary realities. The goals of the
governance and in fact the good governance is to minimize the poverty level.
The gender aspect thinks about the governance because, in those sense they
see that the poverty is the basic goal for which the analysis of the whole
democratic system is being analyzed. The decision-making at governance level
is consistently ignoring the women and the elemental approach towards the
women. (Brody, 2009)
political arena across the countries. The least engagement of the women in the
democratic participation is not so essential at any level. The gender equality
that showed the candidate level approach with the several aspects in the similar
dimension is still missing in women case. The gender equality and the good
governance are two sides of the same coin and these two sides have one to one
situation for each other. The important end note of the discussion comes where
the whole gender studies have the same kind of ethical interventions in several
aspects. (Brody, 2009)
The gender is the first and foremost aspect of the governance with different
usage and on another sexuality and race is not behind any comparison. As the
matter of fact, the decision making at political level can never ignore the
women at large level because the women in power is the greatest treasures for
the communities that are considered as the modern with vast level of liberal
touch. The institutions of the governance are there to revolutionize the whole
system of women authority over the democracy so that the gender equality can
accomplish. (Brody, 2009)
The representation of through the different aspects of the trade unions can
necessary to develop with several aspects, from government to trade unions.
candidate level but the women are being ignored at governance level while
pursuing for the public policy. (Brody, 2009)
The public policy is the core task of the government and the level of
governance is being incorporate as per the discussions concludes. The national
level institutions are highly centralized with the women autonomy but the
public policy while implementation is not so considering the women. The
participation of the women is articulating the facts about the public policy and
with the dimensional approach. The long-term changes at women level is being
classified as per the need assessment show. In the end, one can say that the
governance without the women is another unclear agenda with unclear end
results and proper representation for women in political circles is the advance
level of functionality. (Brody, 2009)
form of human rights violence indeed. The women are not being treated as the major
elements of the society as the male are and the only reason that the violence occurs
and it can create the disruption of norms and values at mass level. (unfpa.org, 2015)
Gender-Based Violence
The society is the mother of all ills and the women based violence is the biggest one.
The world has been struggling with the ills and still three are no remedial measures
of these ills at any level. The social boundaries are affected by this kind of violence
in the same manner as the economic boundaries are affected and the same treatment
with the national boundaries are being observed by the analyst who try to analyze
the women place in this society and mal treatment with particular gender.
Ironically, at mass level, the women and girls are only victim of these oppression
but there is not agitation, there is no lobby creation at any major level was observed
from the history until the date. Generally speaking, one women in three will have to
bear the violence by society ill treatment if there is not serious action will come
against such gender base oppression. There are many more things that are always
negate oppression of women in reality but at actual there is no serious action at all
against them who actual don not want to change this state of women in society for
their worst means. (unfpa.org, 2015)
The physical abuse is practice that has been practiced since the women starts
fighting against their rights. Along with the physical, the sexual assault with the
women is not have any exemption. The gender-based violence is not limited things
and have no boundaries at any level because from health till the autonomy in society
is being considered as the part of such violence. The health of the victim is the worst
thing to be known as the relevant approach because the health care facilities can only
negate the health issues ate vast level. (unfpa.org, 2015)
The dignity beyond the health is another thing that always considerable because the
women is always searching for this from home till the workplace in this male-
dominated society. The security issues for the women is also not a normal and new
talk and many non-government organizations have the immediate agenda about the
violence where women are being normalized with the actual sense. The forced
pregnancies are the way that always hinders the worth of the gender in front of male
but there is only one decision that is dominating and that decision will be male
decision and this is the worst cases of all forced pregnancies. (unfpa.org, 2015)
The activities of oppression are not limited over here because the unsafe abortions
after realizations are also common in the same sense that is most devastating for the
mental health of women. The violence can come out in the name of traumatic fistula
at large level and other thing that is sexually transmitted infections named as HIV
and other death causes at mass level was observed. The only way to get relief against
such things is due to psychosocial assistance at different levels because the women
is always caring for her health and society is not behaving so. (unfpa.org, 2015)
The medical treatment is another way that is considerable for the victims of such
gender based violence. The next thing that may give relief at some level is about the
provision of rape kits to survivors that may lower the intensity of the male treatment
of society. The next pragmatic strategy to overcome the intense effect of violence is
to promote the rights for women and girls indiscriminately. (unfpa.org, 2015)
reasons so far. The theoretical formulation of women is almost establishing the way that
are sufficient in acquiring the various aspects in different thinking satisfaction. There are
theories that can explain the reason behind the violence against the women and there are
also some theories that are always happened to stop that violence in the relative way.
scholars have their own mindset about the women violence with the several hypotheses.
One is going to consider the most popular scholars about the violence against the women,
according to Jasinski, J.L., (2001) the main aspect that was considerable with several
ways are giving the shape of three kinds of theories about the violence against the
women. These three kinds of theories are actually the three kinds of level that always
happened in the society with the several aspects. The first aspect is about the micro aspect
to think about the society and micro theories defined the women in the least level.
(Jasinski, 2001)
The other level is about the macro level aspect to think about the violence against the
women and last but not the least one is the violence against the women at multidimensional
aspect of thinking about the violence against the women. These three levels are defined the
violence against the women in three ways most importantly and three paradigm shift
accordingly. The one paradigm shift is micro theories of violence against the particular
gender. (Jasinski, 2001)
The first theory is about the social learning theory and this theory explain that the
individuals learn about the violence against the women from the experience encountered
by him. the society and most importantly the nearby analysis gives the composite
phenomenon about the violence and may be that individuals have some bad memories of
violence itself as well. (Jasinski, 2001)
This is all about the intergenerational transmission from one level of understanding to
another level and it is completely agitating in the virtual world inside the individual. The
other theory is about the personal characteristics and psychopathology is the major part in
establishing the such characteristics at individual level. This theory proposed that the
individual have the intention to harm the women have some sort of personal and mental
disorder and that disorder tends them to become violate against the women. (Jasinski, 2001)
The other thing is about biological aspect of individual. The natural selection at individual
level tends him to do the violence against the women and rape is the best example of such
lacking at extreme level. The exchange theory is another way of thinking about the micro
aspect of violence. This micro aspect is therefore believing to give the exchange theory
with the view that it happened with the various aspects to do and individuals are always
tending to give priority to their ideas only. (Jasinski, 2001)
The last but not the least theory about the micro thinking about the violence against the
women is the resource theory and this theory explained that the power can only established
at family level when the women become victim of violence in family matters. The other
level to think about the violence against the women is the feminist theory and this theory
is the creative thinking to think about the male-dominated structure of the society in
advance level. The social structure is therefore relevant with the demanding culture and
demanding society in real approach. (Jasinski, 2001)
The male dominated culture like Patriarchy have the intentions to do the harm to the women
factor in the same culture. The other theory that reshape the macro theories is about the
family violence perspective. The natural acceptance was wrongly considered as the
violence against the women and it did not consider bad to be violate against the women in
any sense. These relationships are being violated due to major acceptance of family
structure. (Jasinski, 2001)
The subculture aspect of violence theory showed that some groups in society are always
prefer to do violate against the women but in some specific situations only. The fifth theory
about the macro theories analyzed that the cultural acceptance of violence against the
women showed that the cultural approval of anything specifically violate all rules and
regulations in certain areas of life and these areas are not ignoring able till the end of this
world. Therefore, women oppression is being formalized as the major cultural approval to
do so. (Jasinski, 2001)
The last mindset about the violence against the women is about the stress that is the
remarkable significant risk factor against the violence of women, the stressful situation is
being monitored as the major element to violate against the women. The next is about the
theory showed that the violence is about the reward after the violate behavior against the
women can exceed the costs of violating against the women. (Jasinski, 2001)
The reward is much higher in sop called respect and other facts therefore violence against
women is not ignore able. The other thing is the social control theory and this theory
proposed that the resistance to intervene in family matters and most importantly at cultural
level. The intervene of some other factor in family matters can further agitate against the
women itself. the whole who amalgamated idea showed that the man can harm his woman
because he has the proper right to do so. (Jasinski, 2001)
The gender theory is another thing that considered the macro aspect and this macro theory
is about the violence differently with view constructing is basically provides the way as per
the need show and implement. The social system of multidimensional theory is always
happening in various aspects because influence of power of man over woman is the worst
form ever. The intimate relations among them, sometimes causes of violence against the
women in several ways. (Jasinski, 2001)
The other three kinds of models are being considered as the main factors behind the
violence against the women and comes under the influence of multidimensional theories.
The mal peer-support model is the first aspect like the alcohol use at male level contributes
in violence. The next model is about the social Etiological model and this model again
explain the structural inequality of women and men at same level. (Jasinski, 2001)
The ecological model is about the shaping the social environment and development of
environment about the intra-relationship among the individuals with Micro systems, with
Meso system, with Exo system and finally with the macro system. Micro is all about
interactions with family, friends that are existed in the near environment. (Jasinski, 2001)
The meso system is about the home and school that are away from individual not so much.
The next thing is about the policy making where the schools boards are always built a
relationship with the such bodies in the environment. The next thing is about the macro
system and this system involves the cultural attitudes and showed the relationship among
the individuals and its elements at large scale. These all above-mentioned theories are some
kind of hypotheses that can defined the violence against the women up to great extent or
one can say in the composite form. (Jasinski, 2001)
segments of society and activities that are highly related with the scale of
information as per the defined values. The action towards the normal thing
through aggressive intention is violence. The action along with the way of
inaction sometimes also regarded as the violence in different mindsets. (Price,
2012)
discussed literally the three kinds of specific harm towards the women. One
and the most important in structural violence is about the physical harm and
such harm is relevant with almost all victims of the society across the societies.
The psychological harm always happens when the consistent approach of
violence is being adopted by the person who is directly involved in violence.
(Price, 2012)
The next level of harm is the social harm because this harm is so much
devastating for the entire community in various aspects. The violence is being
the only way to show that how the community can be subordinate with the
various aspects and ways to behave. The deliberately committed action that is
very disruptive for the various reasons is another way to think about the
community at various levels. (Price, 2012)
The people behind such deliberately actions are always being negated by the
various aspects with the several reasons so far. The violence has the dual phase
thing that has the two kinds of affects. One that is affected by it starts to show
reaction and the other who is the ultimate reason of such behavior. The forms
of power is the biggest challenge that is the biggest way to considered this
reckless thing in the worst form. (Price, 2012)
This exercise of power is the ultimate thing that never penetrates until there is
someone who always exercise this thing. The social forms are always negated
throughout the procedure of violence; the context is matters a lot that is the
ultimate cause of the violence. (Price, 2012)
The power is the main reason of violence and this kind of violence never ends
because the wish to gain power is never minimized so far. The social structure
is another thing that negate the societal form because the violence is the chance
where the response at both levels are equal in recognitions. (Price, 2012)
human life. The women are the core element that has been neglected since
many years because the perception about the male is being considered as the
so called majority so far. The violence against the women is the real time
different terms are always happening with the inequalities among men as well
as women in various ways that are devastating as well. There is dire need to
initiate the realizations at women level that they are the part of society equally
as the men are. (un.org, 2015)
the women because the legal interventions are always happening in respect of
different ideologies. The reduction of poverty at mass level can be a strategy
part of society and when the poverty negates the role of women and confined
her at home. (un.org, 2015)
The combating with the HIV and AIDS is another thing that is being
generalized as per the details with the various aspects but the women is the
most affected part of society in various terms and condition directly applied
over there. (un.org, 2015)
The combating with HIV and AIDS are two phases of the same thing because
these diseases are always believing to negate the women as well. The peace is
another thing that happen within the society and men is the real defaulter in
getting competition with it is different ways so far. The security of the women
is the way that happens within the depth and believe to give the desire thing as
wanted to but in real security of women is all about the men understanding
and perception about the women. (un.org, 2015)
The most essential thing over here is to guard the rights of women because it
is the least possible thing in front of violence. Those women and even girls are
about to face the violence both even the physical and sexual violence and such
women are girls are about 35 per cent according to global aspect. The only
need is to implement the given ignorance strategies rather than to wasting the
wasting the cost in formulation. (un.org, 2015)
not utter a rigid word for those who are the main culprit of such a reckless
event. Those people are attached with the system that have a place in Pakistan
to just listen the appeals of poor people. The worst thing comes in the scene
when those people knows that this time the women was stuck in tragic scene
so far. The worst part of the tragic story has happened in 2002 and that scene
was the most brutal one on women in south Asia. (dawn.com, 2011)
in most of poor people cases who considered the supreme court as the supreme
power over other institutes that represents Pakistan at the so called judiciary
platform. The realization that the women cannot raise her voice is being proved
by the women sector in entire basis because women are happening with the
several rationales and those rationales are not bind with the exact form as it
should be. (dawn.com, 2011)
The gang rape was not only the name that happen with the case of Mukhtaran
Mai but it was the complete image of Pakistan in international media that was
further good a rigid response from judiciary of Pakistan. The Mukhtaran Mai
age now above 40 years and she was raped by the alleged person in June 2002.
The worst thing is about the glaring events that the woman is being raped and
so called judiciary release those well-known people. The whole life of the
women was end mentally and these things further ignites the situation in the
international media. (dawn.com, 2011)
The all men who were being arrest in the Mukhtaran Mai case are now free in
the same society where the cases like Mukhtaran Mai are not even an issue
single issue so far. About 120 kilometers away from the central city of Multan,
one can say that the intensity of that unfortunate event of the history in Pakistan
still can hear over there and even in the darkest timeline of judiciary system of
Pakistan. (dawn.com, 2011)
The media always got agile way of proceedings while getting the real way of
behaving with the women in Pakistan but the case of Mukhtaran Mai was the
even that tends many pen to pen down the historical way of proceedings as
well. According to the Aurat foundation the quantity of women that were being
raped are in thousands and those thousands women have their own vision to
maintaining the society. The dark face of oppression of women in Pakistan and
darkest history of judiciary are two things that a women history never forgets.
(dawn.com, 2011)
her a lady of south Asia with the dream of education in those dark stages where
it was not possible at all because of the existence of Taliban specifically in
Pakistan. The Pakistan as the name of land have many unfortunate events. The
women are always considered as the part of society and Pakistan have no
exception at all. This is the real Pakistan but the reality that has been shown at
western media. The west is still not reliable in extracting the facts of Pakistan
and same the case with the Malala Yousufzai. (Agencies, 2012)
Malala Yousafzai
The national and international media consists several aspects about the same
case and still the irony exists among the media. the national media somehow
believed that the Malala Yousufzai was the entirely an inside job and nothing
to do with the Talibans. The other was of the story presented some evidences
that Malala Yousufzai was even not a Pakistan by birth. The point to ponder
here is not to indulge our students to discuss the critics as the society is being
presented over here because many men many words are being successfully
applied in the case of Malala Yousufzai and this was the most ironic thing that
did not support the Pakistan in the anyway. (Paracha, 2013)
The third section of the story is here and having the strong link but in two
phases. The one phase showed that there are elements in Pakistan that did not
wants the rising of women particularly in Pakistan and most importantly in
north Waziristan. There was a lady who actually praising the education system
of Pakistan and showed that the women at big level and girls at school level
even can participate in the change in mindset of international media about the
Pakistan but all before the shoot of girl on October 9, 2012. (Paracha, 2013)
The girl is the most courageous girl of the Pakistan because no one even
thinking about the such kinds of social acts in schools in that area of swat
where most of schools were targeted at that time. This phase was the negative
one and was remain there for about one year both in national and international
media. The positive side of the phase is still continuing. There are many
interviews since has recovered till now because the main focused of the girl is
the education and education is the hot topic worldwide. (Agencies , 2012)
and may be education as per the confidence still explorative at her face. Apart
from the facts the best and most positive impacts come out of it that Malala
Yousufzai now becomes the symbol for the girls in Pakistan in terms of
education that gives a message to western media that Pakistan is shifting
towards the empowering women rather oppressing her in real times. (Paracha,
2013)
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
It is diverse and interesting, bringing home the point that these individuals have
managed to carve a place for themselves by standing up for the cause of women and
other marginalised factions of society.
Out of the 50 women given the honour, education activist Malala Yousafzai and film
maker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy have bagged the 36th and 48th positions respectively,
and we all know that honours and recognitions are not new to them. Both ladies have
devoted their lives to womens rights and the rights of other vulnerable segments of
Pakistan. There are many things to be lauded and admired about them but I appreciate
them for the enduring struggles.
No prize, award or criticism is big enough to thwart their mission; they are always on the
go!
Resilience is the leitmotif in both journeys. Malala received immense fame and respect
but instead of basking in the glory, she employed her success for the cause which has
always been close to her heart education for girls. Malalas organisation, Malala Fund
has been actively working for womens education ever since. The 17-year-old is also
inspiring for her refreshing wit and humour which clearly indicates that the horrid events
of her life have not been able to mar her lively nature.
Some of the women on NYTs list have been unpopular in their own country, yet they
stood firm by their cause. Malala and Sharmeen both have faced stinging criticism,
hatred, mocking and trolling by their own people. Malala has often been maligned as
foreign agent and the whole shooting ordeal has been belittled as staged. Despite all this
hatred, Malala has continued her work for womens education. Her strong bond with her
father has also helped in rehashing the conventional patriarchal power structure in
Pakistan. Ziauddin Yousafzai struck the right chord when he said,
My daughter is strong because I did not clip her wings.
Its the core of womens rights issues that they must not feel opposition and hostility in
their house. Only then they can fight the hostility outside.
Sharmeen also shares a special bond with her father as she said in her Emmyacceptance speech. Her work is poignant, prolific and ground-breaking in Pakistani
cinema, culture and womens rights. Saving Face was important not only as a
cinematic experience but also because it shed light on some heinous yet underrated
crimes against women. I came across Sharmeens TED Talk about how suicide bombers
are trained in Taliban-run madrassas in Pakistan her work was bold, detailed and
interesting. She clearly loves her work and strives for it, despite every hurdle.
Like Malala, Sharmeen too has been criticised for doing dirty laundry in public. She has
been blamed for exploiting Pakistans vulnerable aspect to achieve fame. Yet, she
fearlessly continues with her work. Her latest documentary Song of Lahore which
celebrates neglected Sufi musicians was hailed with standing ovation at the Tribeca
Film Festival last month. This is Sharmeens yet another wonderful idea, another brilliant
production.
We all feel the dearth of local yet original educational (and entertaining) animations for
our children and thats exactly what Sharmeens new project, 3 Bahadur is all about.
Both Malala and Sharmeen truly deserve the spot, not just among women who created
an impact and changed the world for the better but also for being awe-inspiring human
beings. We look up to them, we relate to them and they are our voice in this gagged
society.
As Sharmeen said in her Women in the World Summit speech,
Very often, we see women in my part of the world as victims. I hope by putting my
camera out there, I am creating heroes in my part of the world for the next generation. I
need my daughters to have heroes in Pakistan.
