Living in the United States has its benefits, such as freedom of speech, access to public educational institutions, and even the right to vote. However, living in the United States can also be like living in a bubble. Life here is something to be cherished, so much so that attention to international issues of social justice can easily be overlooked and rationalized by thinking "It's not my problem because it doesn't concern me." ". The issue of discrimination against women in Pakistan and other parts of the world is an international social justice issue that everyone should be aware of and concerned about. As the late Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” and I believe this issue of justice is one of the greatest threats of our modern age. . Women in the Middle Eastern country of Pakistan currently face discrimination in several areas, including but not limited to education and work. The issue of education for Pakistani women is a result of cultural beliefs and practices, while the issue of work arises from the lack of formal education for women. In Pakistan, women face the challenge of challenging social and cultural norms in their society that claim women are more “useful” at home than at school. Although the Pakistani government was set up to legalize education for both sexes, women were forced to develop their identities as housewives rather than independent thinkers, workers and intellectuals. Although speaking out against these societal norms is a very dangerous endeavor, Malala Yousafzai did it, and effectively. Malala is a sixteen year old woman who risked her life from the age of eleven...... middle of paper ......cus on the social change to be developed.I am sure that the question of discrimination The presence of women in homes and classrooms in Pakistan is a matter of social justice. Even with the shelters and advocacy groups created in response to the violence and divisions that exist in Pakistan, the problem of institutional sexism persists. I believe that the majority of solutions proposed by the agencies involved in Pakistan are short-term solutions rather than long-term solutions. Long-term solutions, in my opinion, would involve a thorough analysis of the Pakistani government as well as its society, a cooperative effort among nations to correct the problems that allow such discrimination to exist (even if that means discussing situations on a personal level). ), and an application of the solution to other nations suffering from similar cases of injustice and discrimination.
