Objective of the celebration of womens day

It is said that Women are the real architect of society. To fulfill their duties it is essential

that they should be aware about their basic rights. Our religion has granted the woman

all these rights but unfortunately our culture prevail over religion in context of womens

rights so rights are not being fulfilled as these are conferred by Quran. There are many

reasons for the violation of the same. The most important among them is silence and

unawareness of women about their rights. So in our society silence is considered as

acquiescence culturally and women became deprive from their property rights etc.

Bearing in mind the same the team decided to held an open forum discussion for

women awareness. After getting approval the team made necessary arrangements and

conducted the event on 8thMarch, 2012.

Welcome Remarks and I ntroduction to SHARP by Mr.Mussadiq FM

SHARP

Mr. Mussadiq Shah Field Manger SHARP Mianwali welcomed

the audiences for their valued participation and introduced them

with SHARP, s activities which are carried out throughoutPakistan. He gave an overview about the mandate and activities

of SHARP to the participants. He told that SHARP is Islamabad

based organization and is implementing partner of UNHCR. Main

concerns of SHARP are vulnerable people like women, child and poor and needy

persons. He added that main projects carried out by SHARP are ALAC (Advice & legal

Aid Centers) FR (Flood Relief)and RSD (Refugee Status Determination).

After that he came towards womens rights and told the participants about discrimination

between baby girl and baby boy that we consider son as blessing and fortune and

daughter as infortune and burden for our future. A todays mother gives to son a very

healthy and hygienic food whereas her attitude towards her daughter is so worst and

her daughter thinks that she is her step mother. She awakes the girl in early morning

but her son enjoys the sleep till late hours. In short we consider the son our precious

assets whereas about daughters we think that they have to leave the parentshome so

we should not spend on them.

He added that our history is filled with achievements of women from the beginning of

Islam as well as women played vital role in getting Pakistan. He told that Quiad e Azam

Muhmamhad Ali Jinnah also encouraged womens participation in achieving Pakistan

and addressed the women in these words; I am glad to see that not only Muslim men

but Muslim women and children also have understood the Pakistan scheme. No nation

can make any progress without the co-operation of its women. If Muslim women support

their men, as they did in the day of the Prophet of Islam, we should soon realize our

goal.

He wrapped up the session by referring the hadith Of Prophet Muhammad PBUH,

Hadrat Amr bin Al-Aas once asked the HolyProphet:O, Prophet of Allah whom do

you love the most.Ayesha, Hereplied. As Hazrta Muhmmad PBUH loved to woman

the most He protected the rights of woman and taught the Muslims the same. He added

Allah has kept Jannah under mothers feet so it is upon her to safe her dignity, prestige

and sacredness. He also shared a poem about woman with the participants.

Address by M r. Ahsan Khan Niazi Advocate M ianwali Bar .

He shared with the audiences that in 1906 when New York people came

in street for the fulfillment of their rights but at that time women had no

right to vote. This was their protest that they got the same. So we should

also unite and should give hand in hand to fulfillment our rights so that

violation of our rights can be stopped. He said that today Muhmmad Bin

Qasim can be born and truthfulness of Abdul Qadir Jilani can be

repeated if we have the mother like Hazrat Fatime and Hazarta Ayesha.

He said that women are being tortured in our male dominated society through different

ways and acid throw is one among the shameful acts. He encouraged the women that

Government of Pakistan as well as private sectors have taken many steps for the

protection of women as Protection of Women(Criminal Laws Amendment) Act, 2006

and The Protection of women against Sexual Harassment at the Work

Place Act 2010.

towards the progress of women in society.

Address by Mr. Khashif Aslam (Project Coordinator) GODH

He told the participants that now the world has changed and women

know about their rights. As in dark ages the women have no right of

divorce and if husband died then his wife was being burnt alive. So

Islam has great blessings on us that we can live today with respect,

security and dignity.

are doing well and building up our society then this credit goes to our

mothers, sisters who grew us in sensible and healthy environment and

we are proving our society as a better nation. He added that in every

mans success there is woman who enabled him to get the

accomplishment. He added that you can build a society or can spoil the same because

Napoleon said that give me good mother I give you good nation.so one must

understand onesduties fairly and should fulfill the same with keen dedication so we can

progress as a commanding nation.

Question/Answer Session

Almost all the participants took part in open discussion and shared their experience. Out

of them one important issue was of a woman named Zarina Bibi discussed that her

husband is not living with her and two years earlier he married with another woman.
