International Women’s Day – A Proposal for Emancipation of Pakistani Women.

It is proposed that a resolution may be moved in ALL Provincial Assemblies and a legislation in National Assembly be enacted to ensure that Pakistani women are not dis-enfranchised in any constituency of general, bye-elections and local body polls by a pact between all the candidates that they will not allow their women to cast votes.

A law can be passed that if women votes are not cast in any election, that candidate will not be declared a winner. In other words, no election will be valid without women votes.

“When prices of staples soar, the poor bear the brunt. Without global action, people in poor countries will be deprived of adequate and nutritious food, with tragic consequences….” – Robert Zoellick.

It is a matter of great satisfaction that the world bank’s chief has the realisation of the situation, which (global hunger) now in fact, has become a matter of human rights violation.

In order to avoid the tragic consequences of impending hunger bomb, the following proposal may be considered by the all concerned.

In this regard, It is proposed that all world governments (without exception) must give 50% of the government’s share to the poorest of the poor (right to vote gives them right to govern as well), in their respective countries, just like some countries include on mandatory basis, women & other sections of societies in their parliaments.

Until and unless, those feeling the pangs of hunger, are given a chance to directly participate, in the governance of their affairs, any planning to eradicate the menace of hunger, will be faulty from its inception.
