Solutions for a Better Pakistan:
The government must overthrow the Taliban.
The government must abolish the laws enforced by the Taliban and implement new policies that would help alleviate gender inequality.
The government can construct new schools and provide women with education.
In the long run, the government must modernize Pakistan’s society.
However, all of the above proposed solutions are rather difficult to carry out as the effectiveness of it depends on the willingness of the Pakistani society to change their mindsets. Ultimately, even with sufficient resources and capable leaders, the situation of gender inequality in Pakistan cannot improve if the Pakistanis are unwilling to change their mindsets.
- Since the root of gender inequality in Pakistan is their religious beliefs based on Islam, to alleviate gender inequality in pakistan, overthrowing the Taliban and taking over Pakistan is crucial as the taliban’s goal is to impose extreme sharia on Pakistan. As a result, women are unable to receive education and are treated harshly. In order to do so, the government would have to get help from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and establish close relationships with neighbouring countries so that they can provide the means and funds to overthrow the Taliban.
The government must abolish the laws enforced by the Taliban and implement new policies that would help alleviate gender inequality.
- By giving women the rights to education and making decisions independently, they can gain respect from others and rise in status.
The government can construct new schools and provide women with education.
- This can be achieved with the funds from NGOs and international organizations can help to teach the children in school. With an education, women can fight for their rights and have higher qualifications.
In the long run, the government must modernize Pakistan’s society.
- This will help change the people’s mindset towards women and perhaps, this will change the roles of Pakistani women in society. They need not be confined to their homes and take care of solely domestic affairs. They can seek employment and contribute to the family’s income. This way, their position in society would be raised.
