Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 6

Abstract

The question of social mobilization in Pakistan is a serious one that merits further debate and research. Pakistan has ratifies , the caucus on the exclusion of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), adopted in 1979 by the UN Generation Assembly and International Covenant on Civil and Political Participation (ICCPP). In term of rights, what the modern women had achieved by hectic struggle, Islam has bestowed on the women incalculable rights in almost every field of human life about 1500 years ago, by elevating the position of women from the level of mare cattle to the level human being. Al-Qur’an the revealed book of Islam declares that men and women continue from the same stock, they are the members of same class, and they are born of the same parents. The Qur’an invariably calls men and women as spouses, companions and helpmates of each other. Islam has blessed women with innumerable right in almost every field of life.(Chaudhry, 1991: XII) The 1973Constitution of Pakistan, in its various articles: 25-26, has ensured all those rights which Islam and modern society had entrusted upon her, for the uplift of status of woman and ensuring those rights in the socio-economic and political life of the nation, (Nagi, 1973:25) are visible and one can feel that statutory laws of Pakistan do not as a rule, discriminate against woman. The purpose of the article is to discuss those double standards which are impediments for effective woman social mobilizationin the country.
