5. •Definition
•What is Gender?
"Gender" comes from the Latin
word genus which means "kind" or
"type". In the few hundred years
before the 1950s, the term 'gender'
was used only in the field
of grammar. In 1955,
a scientist began to use the
word gender in new ways when
referring to people, in a way that was
related to their 'sex' but not quite the
same.

6. Types of Gender

Gender

■ 2: Female
■ 3: Transgender ( known as
third gender)

minorities)

allowed in Pakistan
(As well as for females and
transgenders)

marriages over male
(father)

8. Female Issues
■ Domestic Violence:
■ Domestic violence in Pakistan is an
endemic social and public
health problem. According to a study carried
out in 2009
by Human Rights Watch, it is estimated that
between 20 and 30
percent of women in Pakistan have suffered
some form of
abuse. An estimated 5000 women are killed
per year from
domestic violence, with thousands of others

9. ■ A cross-sectional survey of 490
randomly selected women from
a rural health centre in Pakistan of
reproductive age reported
that 65% of those interviewed had
experienced domestic
violence.
■ Impact: Divorce and suicide, physical
and psychological health
effect

villages where women are bound by

10. Female Issues (Continued…)
■ Sexual Violence on College
Campuses
■ Females are usually harassed
in colleges and
universities due to which most of
the girls are out of institutions
■ Dominancy of Males:
■ Males can be seen to be more
dominant, as compared to
females, in Pakistani society.
Such as,
■ In Politics: Males have higher
position than females

11. Female Issues (Continued…)
■ Honour Killing:
■ Killing of females by their family
members due to the belief that the
victim has brought shame for them
and violated the norms of society
■ Forced and child marriages:

12. Transgender Issues
■ Pakistan is the largest Islamic
state
in the world. Islam has given
equal
rights to everyone. Unfortunately,
apart from being an Islamic state
transgender are neglected by the
government and the local
societies
of Pakistan.
■ There are many NGOs working

13. Transgender Issues
(Continued…)
■ We find that in Pakistan the transgender are
ignored in
every walk of life including, education,
employment,
health care and even security of their life. In
2013,
Supreme Court of Pakistan has given rights to
transgenders which still are not implemented.
Not only
the society, but their families are not accepting
them as
their family members.

14. Less Job Opportunities:
■ In Pakistan, they are not even employed in
the job sector.
Rather, males and females are preferred to
be hired.
■ Impact: This leads them to make money
through illegal and
unethical ways like, dancing in the events.
■ Not Accepted by their families and society:
■ Regretfully, they are rejected by their own
families as well as
societies. They are either killed or ousted
from their homes to
earn money for them.

15. Solutions
■ Specific legislations against
certain offenses
■ Division of labor: (for Males)
■ Aware and Educate male. (For
females)
■ We should respect them as a
human and
give them chance in every aspects
of life.
