HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN THIS SOCIETY

Image
For the final edition of this blog series, I will talk about perhaps the most common aspect of the topic- our dear society. It’s not like none of us knows what goes on in the society, what happens behind the doors of houses, what happens in the gossip of people and what is said in the pointless taunts and remarks passed as a part of routine. Therefore, I will not waste words trying to explain what is wrong, neither will I mention how to right it. I will simply mention the efforts that are already underway because luckily once again, this is one of the aspects that has had some light shed on to it in recent years. Every other week we see stories, posts and campaigns on social media. A new harassment case, rape cases, and murder cases against women and trust me when I say that it’s the social media that brings all of these cases into light and tries to ensure justice for the victims. Our paper and TV media is controlled, they are forced to deliver a narrative in order to delude the publi...

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN SPORTS

Sports is a war, you play the offensive or the defensive, you support your team and crush the opposition in an attempt to grab the victory for your side. The war is an aggressive place, women don’t belong in the war. This is what was believed by society for the longest time and even now some remnants of the foolish society still remain. Fortunately, it is one of the few aspects of this topic that have seen actual improvement over time. We now have a national women team and separate departments of regulation departments for them.

However one problem that still remains is the fact that we do everything possible to accommodate the male teams but oftentimes their female counterparts are neglected in this area. In many cases, a female staff is not available to look after the female teams which often leads to them being uncomfortable in playing for the nation. It's no news that the female team will be more comfortable training under a female coach rather than a male one. It’s the regulation department's job to make sure that the female players are given the same amount of comfort while practicing as the men’s team.



Other than that, the women’s team often faces more public backlash than the men’s team. That however, is a part of sports and public criticism is one thing that can never be controlled. Given that they do not cross limits and jump over to giving death threats or getting personal, in which case relevant authorities are to be engaged.

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN AT WORKPLACE

I recently came across a government post on Facebook, under which there was a person who made a certain remark in the comments. The guy so boldly suggested that women should not be allowed to give the CSS exam since their area of expertise lies in the cleaning of houses and cooking of food and not in the running of the country. He added, “Their eligibility to take the exam steals the opportunity from qualified individuals like myself and puts it into their inexperienced hands”. I laughed it off since it was clear that this person was crying over his own incompetence and decided to throw the blame over the women. The sad part of this little event, however, was that there were lines of other sick likeminded men in the comments who were praising the guy for passing this statement. For a moment now, I want you to think of this scenario in a different way. The offender and the ones who praised him poured their minds out, but this time the women they targeted were behind the screen of a phon...

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN A HOUSEHOLD

It’s the year 2021 and all aspects of life have significantly progressed over time. The one thing that doesn’t seem to have even moved is the mentality of most of our men; men who believe we reside in an entirely safe state with no societal imperfections. I, for one, believe that not only is our nation flawed beyond description, but is also an unsafe place for our women. Anyone who is not deluded will believe that our mothers, sisters and female acquaintances cannot be trusted at the hands of this society. “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women…” (Surah An-Nisa: 34) And yet all our so-called “Men of Religion” are on top of the list of people who believe in male dominance and those who claim the only way forward is a patriarchal society that oppresses women (or keeps them in their rightful place, as the deluded so proudly claim). Every single day we witness new cases of domestic violence against women, investigate and most of the time it turns out the offender is a male with a...
