Pakistan is Muslim country and being a Muslim everyone knows that women have the equal rights as men have. But it’s a myth that female’s role is only associated with chaddar and char-dewari. She just has to manage and hold responsibilities like a house wife. The working woman who is out of her house for some work is seen surprisingly by others.
By celebrating this day, people have become more and more aware. Over time and distance, the equal rights of women have progressed. Women are not just doing outstanding job now but are also standing shoulder to shoulder with men. But in some fields of life there is still discrimination among men and women in Pakistan. The rights of women are suppressed in some places as compared to men. That’s why this year; the theme of international women’s day is equality between men and women.
