Provision of Medical Facilities for Women

Affordable and relevant health services and to accurate, comprehensive health information are fundamental human rights. The right to health is one of the fundamental human rights. The concept of the right to health has been mentioned in Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Economic, social and cultural rights and etc. Yet, gender-based discrimination, lack of access to education, poverty, and violence against women and girls can all prevent these rights from being provided for women and girls -- challenges that are often particularly acute when it comes to sexual and reproductive health rights and safe motherhood.

The major issues regarding women health care that arise throughout the world are reproductive health care that is compromised by brutal practice of Female Genital Mutilation and by non-cooperation to stop STDs.  The patriarchal societies with wide gender gaps believe it is Taboo to discuss the sex-related diseases with the doctors and other people. This leads to spread of STDs and aggravate the health situation of not only Women but Men as well. Refusal to use contraception and barriers due to limited resources and lack of education increases concerns about the female health as well.

A Woman plays various roles within society one of these is of mother and even her role as a mother is compromised due to insufficient medical care. Maternal health is compromised by inadequate medical and poor hygienic conditions within the hospitals. This problem worsens with the lack of attention from doctors and staff. In many of the cases a "dai maa" is called for the delivery by the husband of the lady which is even pathetic just because the man do not want a male gynecologist to help have safer delivery. This mindset by the men leads to complications and even death of a mother and if she survives, she will be accompanied by diseases like typhoid, hepatitis and etc.


Above mentioned issues are just a few from many and this issue if not solved will lead to a catastrophe not only ruining us but our sisters, mothers and even wives. To address this issue males and females are to play an equal and fair part to help societies grow and gender gaps to get shorter in order to reduce discrimination and hence to solve provision of medical facilities for women.

The Child Labour

One of the many increasing concerns within many nations is "Child Labour". The most affected area is "The Third World", the developing nations. Children, the future of these nations, are being ruined in present. In the age when they are supposed to hold a pencil in little hands, they are holding gunpowder for fireworks. Industry in the third world is getting great benefits from the child labour as they pay less and get great work from them, these kids are basically the ones from large but poor families who don't even have proper food to eat once. so giving these kids employment is a blessing to them they earn enough for their families so that they can eat twice. This phase of industrialisation within the third world is same as the one in Britain and America during the Industrial Revolution in late 18th to early 19th century (1760-1820). Child labour was popular, and working conditions for kids was worse than in the third world now, the children were made to wor

Paksitan and Corruption

I am amazed and horrified at the same time by the fact that we have highly corrupted officials in our public offices. Why are they in the assembly ? Why do we give them mandate ? How do they manage to get away from election commission ? We need to have independent bodies to search these people before they get into assemblies. We need to introduce electoral reforms. We need prevent these people to get into assemblies before hand. Holding them accountable after they are in of fice is a tough job indeed. We have lack of awareness. Most of the people vote on basis of their cast and religion in Pakistan. We need get informed about candidates that we choose. We need to choose wisely. I believe public need to have access of every document related to candidates from their candidacy, so that it can make better decision based on person's moral character, on his policies and on his views. We need to get out of those false claims made by each candidate in their speeches. They are paid by ou
