“Gender bias is basically the belief or attitude that one sex is of higher power than the other sex ’’

The differences are ;

Cultural Not Natural

“O mankind ! Fear from your Lord who (initiated) your creation from a single soul, then from it created its mate, and from these two spread (the creation of ) countless men and women.”

IN THE LIGHT OF QURAN

Chap 4, surah Nisaa verse : 1

IN THE LIGHT OF QURAN ;

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 34:

“ Men are the managers of the affairs of women because men spend of their wealth on women”

• GENDER AND PROPERTY SHARING IN ISLAM

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 11: Allah (thus) directs you as regards your children's (inheritance): to the male a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters two or more their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one her share is a half. For parents a sixth share of the inheritance to each if the deceased left children; if no children and the parents are the (only) heirs the mother has a f; if fourth. the deceased left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a eight. (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah, and Allah is All-Knowing All-Wise.

Our education system is facing gender disparity badly that’s

why Only 18% of Pakistani women have received 10 years or more of schooling.

1961 26.9 % 8.2 %

1998 54.8 % 32.0 %

Literacy Rate in Pakistan

Female Ratio in Education is

24 % less than Male.

The current primary school ratio in Pakistan is,

boys : girls

10 : 4

The gender disparity is affected by the Taliban enforcement of a complete ban on female education, as reported in a January 21, 2009 issue of the Pakistan daily newspaper “The News”

Some 400 private schools enrolling 40,000 girls have been

shut down. At least 10 girls' schools that tried to open after the January 15, 2009 deadline by the Taliban were blown up

by the militants in the town of Mingora, the headquarters of

the Swat district. "More than 170 schools have been bombed.

• Importance and Effects on Society

From this quotation , It is evident that women education as compare to men is very significant. If a girl is educated, her future generation will b educated that can lead our society and the whole state towards betterment and development

WHAT DOES IT TAKES TO EDUCATE A GIRL ??

Think about it ……!

Gender And Occupations

DIFFERENCES

• Opportunities

• Salaries / Wages

• Designations

• Second Shifts

• Work Load

Low Designations

Gender inequality in the workplace is easy to see in the form of low designations for women in our society, for example :

• Female nurses assist male physicians• Female secretaries server male executives• Female flight attendants are under the command of male pilots

Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development

found that female full time employees earned 17 % less

than their male counterparts in 2009

Low Salaries

Improvement Till the late 1990s, it was impossible for women to attain high ranking posts in any organization of the country. However, with the inception of telecom giants, Telenor highlighted this issue in the market. Telenor brought with itself the employment laws which allowed women of the country to work alongside men and even provided them with leadership opportunities. Mobilink also adopted similar policies in order to maintain its superiority in terms of market share, over Telenor. Thus, the competition provided a step towards the eradication of gender discrimination in Pakistan.
