Women Are Equal to Men in Non-Muslim States rather Muslim States

          If you go through the Muslim countries which are under-govern by the Muslim’s governments. They are not protecting the rights of women. In spite of that fact, nearly all non-Muslim countries and non-Muslim governments are protecting women’s rights, transgender rights and giving religious freedom. I would be very much interested in when someone comes to me and show me one of the Muslim nations where women rights, transgender rights are greatly protected because I haven’t seen it. All the above statement builds in my mind when I read a report released by Women Peace and Security Index (WPS Index). I’ve observed that few people do not trust in facts and figures provided by the several survey reports, to them these reports are nothing but propaganda. To me, if these people are considering it propaganda then they have to come out with their own reports and research. Because it is necessary to see what is fact and what is the theory, working behind the scene. Muslim countries and Muslim organizations need to gather all the statistics by themselves for their own satisfaction. Regarding women’s concern is with her security, participating in the judicial system, practising in politics. Meanwhile, by comparing their own reports with prior-statistics their confusion could be clear-up. Whereas Muslim governments are really failed to provide women’s rights or there is something else; doubtful like propaganda.

          Moreover, disagreement is possible on above matter but we should not feel embarrassed by saying that non-Muslim countries are much developed than Muslim countries and step by step they are looking forward to extra advancement and evolution. Where law and constitution are in practice, ensuring to provide equal human rights to everyone, exercising merit in the institutions, learning from past mistakes, eradication of illiteracy, hate to bribery system, knowledge about basic rights and responsibilities. This is the only reason where non-Muslim countries’ women are much brave than us. Which is the very much frightening situation for Muslim countries? Another thing which took my intention, in non-Muslim countries’ output and the man-powers ratio is much high than Muslim countries. Behind this good image education and freedom, the factor is playing its role. Our women even after being educated have restrictions to do a job. If we talk about Pakistan, there are so many families who think that women have no need of education. To them, women’s duty is restricted to work within the home structure being a housewife. And luckily for this purpose, they feel no need to give education because there is no need of it. For them, women job means suppose to lessen “Men’s” dignity and self-respect. Since there are many women who are educated and degree holders but those are working simply in-house limited ‘institution’ as a housewife. This practice is the foremost hurdle to fetch man-power for the country.

          Our governments made law but there is no implementation. Whereas all over the world in progressive countries women are equivalent part of man; in making law, performing socially or for the sack of country. To us, a very small proportion of women is part of those activities. In the political career, only Muhtarma Benazir Bhutto is one and only example but never a 2nd case produced. On no account than her, any lady approached and struggled to become Prime Minister or President. While in other countries Queen Victoria of England, Hilary Clinton, Angela Markel, Theresa May, Sheikh Hasina Wazed and Christina Fernandez are those individual’s (ladies) who holds the key of their politics and left an irremovable mark of women’s participation in politics.

          This object is upsetting me that all teachings like; women rights, gay rights, human rights, minorities rights, freedom of religion, freedom of speech are spiritual judgments of Islam. Whereas before Islam women were not treated equal to man, they been putting alive into the grave, there was no respect for her but Islam recognized her status. If non-Muslims are following Islamic thought and wisdom which is moralized by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), non-Muslims are right to follow but we need to feel feeling guilty in this worst order.
