Status Of Women

The emergence of feminist thought in Egypt at the turn of the last century has often been remarked upon, but there has been little rigorous analysis of its social context and background. As keen an observer as Gabriel Baer has ventured to write that in nineteenth-century Egypt “evidently the traditional structure of the family and the status of women did not undergo any change at all.” On the face of it, however, it seems highly unlikely that the expansion of the urban and rural middle classes, the emergence of private property, the period of state capitalism, and the onset of colonial rule could have left women unaffected.

Status Of Women

Islam is a religion which has attempted to elevate the status of women so that there should be no discrimination between women and men from the Islamic perspective. However, in some fiqh texts, which are based on selected Qur'an and hadith, there is discrimination against women. On the other side, gender discourse now becomes an important issue and is used to improve the status of women. This article attempts to explore both the jiqh texts and gender discourse on the models of leadership in a family, especially on the role of women and men in the family and on the sexual relations, from the Islamic perspective.

Status Of Women

The paper is devoted to the status of women in the society of Gortyna during the period from the 7th to the 5th centuries B.C. Owing to the growing popularity of the gender approach, this problem is thought to be of particular research interest. It is often believed that the Cretan society was matriarchal, because the women of Crete, Gortyna in particular, enjoyed their full rights. In order to verify this hypothesis, the laws of Gortyna that shed light on the social position of women among other important issues were thoroughly investigated. As a result of the analysis of the sections concerning the family and property relations in Gortyna, it was found that the above-said hypothesis does not apply to the society of Crete and Gortyna in the 7th–5th centuries B.C. It was revealed that men and women in Gortyna had different rights. Changes in this situation were traced. The general history of research on the laws of Gortyna and the position of women over the period under consideration was reconstructed.

Status Of Women

Violence against Women (VAW) occurs in different societies in assorted ways in the world. It can be seen from the different lens starting from family structure to the workplaces of women. In Pakistan women experience violence from their own family members even after the promulgation of legislation at national as well as at provincial level. There is variety of existing literature which explains the prevalence of violence in different countries around the globe but mere to find the literature that shows the post-legislative status of women in a country.  This paper aims at describing the status of women after filing a case under the PPWAV Act, 2016 in Punjab. To explain and describe the said issue, the following study followed descriptive analysis and was based on qualitative social research methodology, followed by narrative approach. Relying on saturation of data, thirteen interviewees were interviewed for the said study. For analyzing the narratives, the objective hermeneutics as explained by flick (2014) was used to present data analysis. Major themes derived from the data were violence bringing women from four walls of the house, filing a case of domestic violence: violation of society values and Post case filed domestic problems. It is concluded that the said law does not harmonizes with the family values prevailing in Pakistani social structure hence is unable to eliminate the problem of domestic violence from Punjab.
