Development Perspective

For the empowerment of women several international meetings, conferences and seminars have been taking place globally. Consequently, women are becoming stronger in social, economic, and political sectors. The numbers of women state heads have revealed that internationally women are being empowered politically. Women’s struggle in Nepal has also brought a remarkable change in establishing women rights in social, economic, and political spheres. After democratic restoration, few efforts have been made for their empowerment. Still the Human Development index of women is not so encouraging. However, they have been involved in multi sectoral activities such as household economy, environmental conservation, social functions, and infrastructure development. After 1990, political parties have involved women in their political organizations and have provided opportunities to be elected and nominated in the national legislature, executive and judiciary. Few of them have already got chances to be Minister and Member of Parliament.Similarly, women have been working as District Development or Village Development Committee chairperson. In the inaccessible remote areas still they are not much empowered and their involvement is less. It is necessary to make them empowered.

In recent mass protests such as the Arab Spring and Occupy movements, protesters used social media to spread awareness, coordinate, and mobilize support. Social media-assisted collective action has attracted much attention from journalists, political observers, and researchers of various disciplines. In this article, the authors study transnational online collective action through the lens of inter-network cooperation. The authors analyze interaction and support between the women's rights networks of two online collective actions: ‘Women to Drive' (primarily Saudi Arabia) and ‘Sexual Harassment' (global). Methodologies used include: extracting each collective action's social network from blogs authored by female Muslim bloggers (23 countries), mapping interactions among network actors, and conducting sentiment analysis on observed interactions to provide a better understanding of inter-network support. The authors examine these two distinct but overlapped networks of collective actions and discover that brokering and bridging processes can facilitate the diffusion of information, coalition formation, and the expansion of the networks. The broader goal of the study is to examine the dynamics between interconnected collective actions. This research contributes to understanding the mobilization of social movements in digital activism and the role of cooperative networks in online collective action.

Status Of Women

This paper presents the status of women rights in Pakistan and protection of these rights under the umbrella of legal reforms. After independence the women of Pakistan played an active role in nation building activities as well for their own social uplift. International organizations played special attention towards the issue of women empowerment During Ayub Era Muslim Family Law Ordinance 1961 was promulgated which is regarded as a first step forward for the protection of women rights. During Zia regime discriminatory laws were introduced which disturbed the equilibrium between male and female in the society. These laws put a negative impact on the status of women. Women organizations protested against Hudood Laws and demanded to repeal it. During the period of Musharruf new laws were introduced for the protection of women rights(women Protection Act 2006),it is regarded as golden era in context of legislation made for women empowerment .The process of legal reforms is in progression .The women are still subjugated to many criminal acts like harassment at work place ,attempted rape and acid throwing. There is a need of devising effective implementation mechanism in true letter and spirit for the safeguard of women rights.
