We need to educate society as a whole to be more empathetic towards women and their rights. its part of a deep rooted problem in our culture, indeed every Islamic culture, that is the status of women who don't have any rights but are considered machines of giving births to children and property of their husband,father and brother, it also shows a failure on the part of the educated people to instil morals in the society and educate the people about women's rights. On the other hand,Punjabis are becoming more and more violent when it comes to religion and women,in a recent poll,Lahore is on top of the list for being a worst place for women under the watch of THIEF MINISTER SHABAZ LOHAR.
In 2012,women have rights to decide about their future,they are not the property of their fathers,brothers or husbands,lets get out of the stone age.
The language used is highly objectionable. We must learn to respect our or others leaders for peaceful coexistence.
