(Syed Manazir-ul-Haq, Karachi)

THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN OUR SOCIETY

Women are the integral part of our society and cannot be neglected due to their 50% or above share in the population of the country. Pakistan is basically a religious and God gifted state and Islam never prevents women to take part in social activities. They under the Islamic boundary can take part in all activities whether they belong to financial, national, international, social or domestic affairs. Islam has given them great respect in the shape of Mother, Sister, Daughter and Wife especially our Prophet has given so much importance to Mother. Being the major part of our population if they keep bound in taking part of the communal activities and behaviors we cannot progress with due speed and stay behind from the developed countries. Women’s roles in our society are very important. They take part in all activities physically and mentally even they can fly aeroplanes and join in the law enforcement agencies to eliminate social evils from the society. Almost in all sectors of life like Education, Factories, Workshops, Shopping Centres, Offices, Banks, IT fields etc. they enjoy the financial activities and happen to cause of enhancement in national income and growth.

It is worth mentioning that education and skills pay a vital and important role in the nation’s evolution and advancement. No nation can be developed without education and skills. Women being the integral part of our society foster infants. An infant gets his first education and training in the lap of a woman and if women are not educated it means that we are depriving of infants from their beginning education and training. It is a motto of skilled and learned person that if we give education and skill to a woman we entrust education and skill to a family.
 
In our society there are two class of women namely I) working women II) household women.

Working women
Actually this class of women leads much busy life. They not only have to discharge their official duties but also look after their domestic responsibilities. They pay active role in the economic activities of the country. They use their skills and expertise in fulfilling their executive obligations and in some matters they supersede men. A large number of women are also associated with foreign affairs services and brightening the name of our country. Some women are also in our bureaucratic regime and enjoying well in discharging their bureaucratic responsibilities. Some women are at minister level federal as well as provincial and running the affairs of their ministries with due care and responsible manners. Women are usually honest than men so they hardly accept kickback and bribe by using their official powers owing to that their achievements are well and sound. Their plans are accomplished not only in the paper but also in practical way. They use their powers in legal way and avoid unauthorized activities. Now women are also taking part in all playing activities. Women cricket, football, table tennis etc. teams have been existed and are taking part in the games. In short we can say that women are paying intensive roles in all walks of life.

Household women
This class of women also leads busy life. They have to discharge all domestic responsibilities from bottom to top. They are the queen of house and rule in the domestic affairs. They not only teach their children but also care of them and all other family members in all respect. They also run the financial affairs of the domestic hierarchy and make wonderful savings from domestic expenditures in this way they are called the finance minister of homes. In the nutshell we can say that women pay an important and inevitable role in our society and without their positive functions we may fall in the hell.
