Jamaat-e-Islami: Foe Or Friend Of Pakistan's Women?

Jamaat-e-Islami, an Islamic political movement founded in August 26, 1941, today it’s one of

the largest religious parties of Pakistan. And being a President of largest Islamic religious party

Qazi Hussain and his companion doing everything that keeps Pakistani women under “MEN

ORDER“ just like world order. They’re always putting obstacles in the way of Pakistani women's liberty. They even don't let girls go to regular schools, in fear that maybe Women of Pakistan

will modernise. They're pushing them to attend MADRASA. Sometimes Qazi Hussain say “it’s

important to do hijab in schools”. And sometimes they're just saying the ridiculous things like,

“domestic violence is a private issue and if a women is a good wife, why will anyone want to beat

or burn her?"

About 82 percent of women in rural Punjab, feared violence resulting from husband's anger

over slight matters. In the most urbanized areas of Pakistan, fifty-two percent women confessed

being beaten by husbands. Husbands or in-laws interfere with gas stoves so the cooker

explodes in the face of a woman as she turns it on to cook. In these cases murders are made to

look like suicides and are concealed by husbands. While killings are not usually sanctioned in

the laws of the land, judges often deliver littlest sentences. Mostly the injury is stamp out to a

technical fault in the cooker. There are new burning cases everyday. The majority of women

don't make it.

So what I’m trying to ask Jamaat-e-Islami is, "Are all women defiant, dire and indecorous to

men? And suppose if they are, so husband can give divorce; get separated; send woman to her

home, but directly he’s burning her, murdering her and sending her from this world. Your saying

wives are not good so why can’t wives complaint that their husbands are not benevolent, kind or

attentive?" All because the Pakistani wives are compromising and polite. The harmless wife,

takes care of his home, cooks, mops and tries to keep him contented but argumentative

husband keeps complaining and doesn't reward her with love or care. He just gives her death.

In November 1997, Mussarrat Bibi, a pregnant woman and mother of three, was beaten to

death by villagers who had so called religious belief against adultery because of some false

rumors of her immoral behavior. Actually the real reason for her death was that she had

refused to work for local landlords without payment, so they spread the rumors.

What kind of society Qazi hussain and his party want to create where the husbands, brothers,

even fathers show such inhumanity towards their own daughters, sisters, wifes and even

mothers, in the name of social, religious, or family values. Women are deserted, her existence

means nothing to the men of Pakistan and she has nowhere to hide.

It’s up to the readers to decide that Jamaat-e-Islami is foe or friend of women of Pakistan. But if

you ask me, all Jamaatis (Members are often referred to as Jamaatis) whether it's Qazi

Hussain Ahmad, Liaqat Baloch or Khurshid Ahmad they’re definitely the biggest enemy of

Pakistani women’s liberty and success.

"I belong to a country where you

can find talent, natural

resources, four seasons but all of

these are under the command of

men. Where women are the

second-class citizens. Where

women as a daughter seeks

permission from father; as a

sister from brother; as a wife

from husband and as a mother

from son to do any work. There

are no rights for women as an

individual and that country is

Pakistan where women

discriminates everywhere in the

country. And this all happen

because of influence of false

religion which is observed and

preach by most evil religious

parties, in which, Jamaat-e-

Islami is the top most. President

of Jamaat-e-Islami misguiding

our men on the name of religion,

that keep your girls, sisters,

wives inside the house. Don’t let

them go schools, colleges, just

keep them busy to give multiple

births; keep busy for laundries;

kitchen work, in fact just keep

her away from every

opportunities and keep them

lower then men.

But I decided to do whatever

possible for my fellow Pakistani

women who need liberty from

these religious parties like

Jamaat-e-Islalami. I decided to

fight for Pakistani women’s

liberty through my writings. I

thought about it many times and

tried to do this from Pakistan

but I was afraid from these

religious terrorists who are

everywhere in my neighborhood,

my family and in friends. But

now I am in United States of

America where regardless of

gender everybody have freedom

for speech and expressions, not

to forget peace of mind and

safety.

Liberty4PakistaniWomen is a

caring movement with collection

of social theories, and moral

philosophies, largely motivated

by or concerned with the

liberation of women from men

domination. A large portion of

this movement are especially

concerned with what they

perceive to be the social, political

and economic inequality

between the sexes which favors

the male gender. This movement

dealing with important issues

such as reproductive rights,

including the right to safe

abortion by their own will,

access to contraception and

quality prenatal care, protection

from violence within a domestic

partnership, sexual harassment,

street harassment,

discrimination and

rape. My fellow

Pakistani women! This is a

revolutionary mission and this is

your obligation towards

Pakistani women that spread my

message to other women who

can't read or who aren't able to

reach or read my messages, tell

them that resist against these

religious culprits. I'm sure we'll

change our men dominated

society.
