What We Do ? { Gender Awareness and Field Activities  }
         

     

AIM understands regarding gender: Focusing on the social relations between men and women, in contrast with a focus on sex differences or with a concern with women. It has the aim for parity between the sexes as central to the empowerment process.

GENDER DIAGNOSIS: Man has the power and the dominating person of the society. He enjoying all things of his life but women is still facing the problems and her work is usually informal, unacknowledged badly paid and carried out in harsh conditions. That is why we feel the need to diagnose this difference in these areas by using our own methods not traditional methods. Because in traditional methods when any information and statistical data has been needed then it given by the male and he counts himself the breadwinner and the household head. He neglects the other important person of his house and his information considers the comprehensive and real data about that house. In fact this method is totally wrong because in this method women can not participate and she cannot explain her problems and needs. This method is only one sided because given information has the importance and considered the real data. The division of labour between men and women is not equal. Women are discriminated against when it comes to sharing the inheritance because they receive only half the men’s share. Women can not own land, neither on their father’s side nor on their husband's side. It is her right to be treated like men because women have the same intellectual capacities as men.

But in our method both women and men are the participants of this procedure and they have the opportunity to talk on their existed problems and needs. Male and female coordinator has the duty to visit to every home and collect data about that house and then to make some strategies to eliminate discrimination between men and women. She will take a positive step for her recognition in society and to make easy access to every facility which a man having without any struggle. It is the need of the time that women will come ahead for the sake of her recognition and create her importance in existing society.

PROBLEMS: After gender diagnosis we collect the information that women are the main effective creatures of this discrimination and which creates more problems for them and for their household activities. For the explanation of its discrimination we have to code some examples about women inequality.

In our society man is the commanding person and has the power to enjoy all the leisure of his life on the other hand he is the dominating person of our society.

Which creates inferior complex in women and they considers that they have no importance in their house and society.

Some practical considerations, how the differences practiced on the basis of gender

  • Parents have the attitude to give importance in every matter to their boy child than their girl child. They prefer to give good and delicious food to their boys than their girls.
  • Parents create recreational opportunity only or especially for their boys and the abilities of their girls become rusty.
  • In these areas mostly parents prefer to admit their boys in English medium schools and their girls’ forces to get education in Urdu medium schools due to the gender inequality and discrimination, if they ready to educate their girls.
  • Female got less income from their construction labour than the man wages. They both work equally whole day. Women treated with this behavior due to the gender inequality.
  • Majority of the parents do not like to educate their girls more than matriculation because they consider their girls are the mainstay of her mother.
  • Gender discrimination works in those families where male or female has to do work in any institution but when they come back  to their home, male uses to take rest but the women has the duty to prepare food for her family members and to take care for her kids.
  • Male tailor takes Rs.120 as his stitching cost but female takes only Rs.75.Female faces this discrimination only on the basis of gender inequality.
  • If any person wants to organize an organization and they wants to work with women and on gender equality. But they act against this equality because in their staff they like to appoint only male not female. It means first of all we have not equality in our team.
  • In decision-making girls not consider very important and their suggestion is also being neglected by her parents and husband. It is only on the basis of gender discrimination.
  • It is the system of traditionalists to isolate their women from every decision and impose their own will or decision on their girls without including their decision.
  • In every arbitration the decision of male considers right and no one can claim about that decision but we did not see a female in any arbitration. She is unable to give any decision even about herself.
  • Man does not give importance to the decision of their wives about the adoption of family planning methods and they do that what they want. It is also the discrimination with women.
  • In our society motivators have the attitude to motivate only women about family planning and the adoption of contraceptives to reduce her family but not contact with man which is the main reason of population growth.

These are the some examples by which we can evaluate easily the role of women and discrimination in any area.
