Is Women, Education our priority? or we just playing with it? Why no Chairperson of PCSW since 2019?

Is Women, Education our priority? or we just playing with it?

Why no Chairperson of PCSW since 2019?

Punjabi Radio Show Lok Lhar

Guests: Hifza Mazhar, Ambreen Fatima & Imran Javed Qureshi

The law regarding Status of Punjabi women was passed in 2014 when the current PM was CM Punjab. Fauzia Waqar was appointed its first Chairperson who worked for 2014-16 & 2017-19 but after it till today this seat is vacant and it shows the preferences of PTI government of Buzdar. As the leader of PTI Imran Khan had declared that the Taliban are “breaking the chains of slavery,” than what you can expect from his hand picked government in the Punjab.

The Punjab Commission on Status of Women (PCSW) is a human rights institution in Pakistan, which was established by the Government of Punjab in March 2014 under the PCSW Act, 2014

What is the real issue? we signed international agreements, we make laws, we get international fundings but at implementation stage we often failed many commitments. From NDMA till PCSW situation is familiar and it needs little attention.

Why women issues are important, its not merely the quantity or population that is 50% but it is question of life and justice. When in 1880s Germany (Prussian Empire) Bismarck had announced Adult Franchise for the first time in the world it was only for males. Although intellectuals like Friedrich Engels supported and appreciated German act but it is a fact that Women started getting that right of adult vote not less than 1918. It is also a reality that adult franchise for all got prominence and great support in post WW2 scenario especially after declaration of HR charter.

Punjabi Sufi poets supported women since more than 700 years and their poetry is a proof of this claim where they found speaking as women too. The socio-political tale of HEER written by Baba Waris Shah in 18th century itself is a good example where dominating Women character leads.

Further things

Using gender-inclusive language means speaking and writing in a way that does not discriminate against a particular sex, social gender or gender identity, and does not perpetuate gender stereotypes. Given the key role of language in shaping cultural and social attitudes, using gender-inclusive language is a powerful way to promote gender equality and eradicate gender bias.

The Guidelines available on this website include a number of recommendations to help United Nations staff to use gender-inclusive language in any type of communication — oral or written, formal or informal, or addressed to an internal or external audience. The Toolbox contains training materials on the practical application of the Guidelines, information on related training courses and other relevant resources.
