Honor killings refer to the practice in some Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures where a male family member murders a female relative due to a perceived dishonor to the family. In Pakistan, hundreds of women are killed each year in honor killings, often for actions such as choosing their own husband or seeking a divorce. Police and courts often side with the male relatives and do not prosecute the murders. International organizations are urging Pakistan to strengthen laws protecting women and prosecuting honor killings.

Gender equality .milagros gil
Gender equality is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and opportunities regardless of gender. Historically, concepts like "machismo" promoted the idea that men are superior to women and responsible for providing for their families, which led to the devaluation of women's abilities and denial of equal opportunities like education and work. These attitudes contributed to major family violence problems as some men felt they had rights over their wives and could impose their will through physical and psychological abuse. It is important to move past these harmful, outdated views through respectful dialogue that promotes human dignity and equality for all.

Women Rights in Pakistan-Presentation
Women in Pakistan have constitutional protections for equality and non-discrimination according to the 1973 Constitution. However, women still face significant challenges, including domestic violence. In 2013, Pakistan passed the Domestic Violence Prevention and Protection Bill to define and punish domestic violence. Prior laws were also amended, such as removing rape from the Hudood Ordinances and trying it as a criminal offense. Additionally, the National Commission on the Status of Women was established in 2000 to promote women's rights and development. Nonetheless, crimes targeting women like honor killings, acid attacks, and abductions still occur.
Honour killing 2019
Honor killings involve the killing of a family or community member who is believed to have brought dishonor on the family or community. They mostly target girls and women for reasons such as refusing an arranged marriage or entering a forbidden relationship. Pakistan has conflicting laws around honor killings, with some allowing pardons or compensation instead of punishment. International organizations like CEDAW work to address honor killings globally by raising awareness, applying pressure on governments, and empowering community leaders to speak out against the practice. Prevention requires changes to social mindsets as well as stronger laws with serious consequences for such crimes.
Pakistani women and their political empowerment
Pakistani women face many barriers to political empowerment and participation. Culturally, women have a secondary status to men and are largely restricted to domestic spheres. Politically, women make up only a small percentage of seats in national parliaments globally and in Pakistan. Multiple interconnected factors influence women's participation, including economic conditions, education levels, domestic responsibilities, lack of political experience and training, gender norms restricting mobility and decision-making, and patriarchal traditions viewing politics as unsuitable for women. Prior experience, education, resources, and ambition can help women gain political power, but masculine political cultures within parties also constrain women's equal status and opportunities.
Gender equality
Gender equality means that men and women should receive equal treatment and opportunities without discrimination based on gender. While international agreements have affirmed women's human rights, women still face greater challenges such as poverty, lack of access to education, political participation and decision making power, and violence. Achieving true gender equality requires addressing issues such as restrictive marriage laws, unequal property and inheritance rights, and ensuring equal access to education and economic opportunities for both women and girls.
Rights of women in pakistan
The document summarizes the status of women in Pakistan. It discusses how women's status varies across social classes and regions, with urban women generally enjoying more privileges. Historically, women participated in Pakistan's independence movement and leaders like Fatima Jinnah advocated for women's rights. However, rural women still face significant challenges such as low literacy rates, lack of inheritance and land rights, and cultural practices like dowry that impose financial burdens. Overall, while Pakistani women have made progress in certain fields like politics and education, true equality remains elusive especially for poor, rural women.
intro to Human Rights Violations and Victims' Rights
The document discusses human rights violations and victims' rights. It defines human rights and discrimination, and lists groups that are at higher risk of human rights violations like minorities, children, women, and refugees. It also outlines some basic human rights like dignity, fair trial, equality and protection from discrimination. Finally, it discusses victims' rights to remedy, compensation, and restitution under international law and declarations.
Honour Killing
Honor killings involve the murder of a family member by other family members due to a belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family. They commonly occur when a person refuses an arranged marriage, engages in a forbidden relationship, or is the victim of rape. While honor killings have deep historical and cultural roots, they violate basic human rights. In India, about 1000 honor killings occur annually, though there is no specific law against the practice. It is typically prosecuted under murder statutes. Various international agreements also prohibit gender-based discrimination and violence. Strengthening laws, increasing awareness, protecting victims, and changing social attitudes are all seen as important to prevent future honor killings.

Women empowerment in pakistan
This document discusses initiatives to promote gender equality and women's empowerment in Pakistan. It notes that while the Pakistani constitution ensures equal rights, women's participation in development and the economy remains below potential due to social and cultural barriers. The government has established a 10% employment quota for women in public and private sectors, though currently only 5% of such jobs are held by women, most in health, education, and social services. The vision is for Pakistan to become a country where women enjoy equal rights and decision-making authority as men. The aim is to promote women's social, economic, and political empowerment at all levels through steps that respect Islamic teachings and the constitution.

Honor killings involve the killing of a family or community member who is perceived to have brought dishonor on the family. They mostly target women and girls for behaviors like refusing an arranged marriage, being sexually assaulted, seeking divorce from an abusive husband, or engaging in homosexual relationships. Honor killings are more common in northern Indian states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. They violate the law but continue due to cultural acceptance in some communities. Preventing honor killings requires changing social attitudes, enacting stronger legal consequences, and protecting at-risk individuals.
Women empowerment
Women empowerment is the process of increasing women's capacity to make choices and transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes. It aims to promote women's participation in all areas through building stronger economies, improving quality of life, and achieving gender equality. The document outlines issues faced by women in India such as gender discrimination, lack of education, dowry practices, and atrocities. It discusses national laws and policies aimed at empowerment as well as facts about women's participation. Suggested ways to achieve empowerment include self-help groups, government schemes, microfinance, self-employment, and changing social attitudes. The conclusion states that until women have equal opportunities as men, societies will underperform their potential.
Gender Equality

It provides examples of discrimination against women, such as notions that women should not go out at night, are weak, and have limitations. Statistically, India ranks 132 out of 187 countries in terms of gender inequality and has a high maternal mortality rate. Several solutions are proposed to address gender inequality, such as increasing education for girls, raising awareness, establishing women's help lines and cells, and increasing women's participation in politics and the workforce.

Women in Afghanistan
This document provides a historical overview of Afghanistan and the status of women's rights. It discusses how women's rights and freedoms have fluctuated under different regimes over the past century. During the Soviet-backed government in the 1970s-1980s, women had increased rights to education and employment, though this progress was limited in rural areas. The rise of the Taliban in the 1990s severely restricted women's rights. While the post-2001 constitution established protections, enforcement remains a challenge and women still face widespread discrimination.
Assigment on honor killing
Honor killings refer to the murder of a person, usually a woman, who is believed to have brought shame upon her family. In Pakistan, hundreds of women are killed each year due to honor killings stemming from suspicions of illicit relationships, refusing an arranged marriage, or seeking a divorce. While the UN and Amnesty International have urged Pakistan to protect women's rights and crack down on honor killings, the practice continues as police often side with the male family members and men face light sentences if convicted. Famous cases of honor killings in Pakistan include the murders of 16-year-old Jamila after being raped and 29-year-old Samia Sarwar for seeking a divorce from an abusive husband.

A Village Rape Shatters a Family, and India’s Traditional Silence
By JIM YARDLEY
DABRA, India — One after the other, the men raped her. They had dragged the girl into a darkened stone shelter at the edge of the fields, eight men, maybe more, reeking of pesticide and cheap whiskey. They assaulted her for nearly three hours. She was 16 years old.
When it was over, the men threatened to kill her if she told anyone, and for days the girl said nothing. Speaking out would have been difficult, anyway, given the hierarchy of caste. She was poor and a Dalit, the low-caste group once known as untouchables, while most of the attackers were from a higher caste that dominated land and power in the village.
It might have ended there, if not for the videos: her assailants had taken cellphone videos as trophies, and the images began circulating among village men until one was shown to the victim’s father, his family said. Distraught, the father committed suicide on Sept. 18 by drinking pesticide. Infuriated, Dalits demanded justice in the rape case.
“We thought, We lost my husband, we lost our honor,” the mother of the rape victim said. “What is the point of remaining silent now?”
As in many countries, silence often follows rape in India, especially in villages, where a rape victim is usually regarded as a shamed woman, unfit for marriage. But an outcry over a string of recent rapes, including this one, in the northern state of Haryana, has shattered that silence, focusing national attention on India’s rising number of sexual assaults while also exposing the conservative, male-dominated power structure in Haryana, where rape victims are often treated with callous disregard.
In a rapidly changing country, rape cases have increased at an alarming rate, roughly 25 percent in six years. To some degree, this reflects a rise in reporting by victims. But India’s changing gender dynamic is also a significant factor, as more females are attending school, entering the work force or choosing their own spouses — trends that some men regard as a threat.
India’s news media regularly carry horrific accounts of gang rapes, attacks once rarely seen. Sometimes, gangs of young men stumble upon a young couple — in some cases the couple is meeting furtively in a conservative society — and then rape the woman. Analysts also point to demographic trends: India has a glut of young males, some unemployed, abusing alcohol or drugs and unnerved by the new visibility of women in society.
“This visibility is seen as a threat and a challenge,” said Ranjana Kumari, who runs the Center for Social Research in New Delhi.
In Haryana, the initial response to the rape after it was disclosed ranged from denial to denouncing the media to blaming the victim. A spokesman for the governing Congress Party was quoted as saying that 90 percent of rape cases begin as consensual sex. Women’s groups were outraged after a village leader pointed to teenage girls’ sexual desire as the reason .

This document summarizes research on violence against women in Tamil Nadu, India. It discusses several forms of violence women face, such as domestic violence, sexual violence, harmful traditional practices like female genital mutilation, and dowry-related violence. Several case studies are presented to illustrate the real-life impacts of this violence, such as women committing suicide due to domestic abuse, women being drugged and raped by colleagues, and young girls facing physical and psychological harm from traditional practices like burying girls during solar eclipses. The document also reviews efforts to address violence against women through legal reforms and advocacy work over the past few decades.
Comparative Study of Honor Killing
The document discusses honor killings, providing context and examples. It begins by defining honor killings and noting they often involve the murder of women by male relatives for perceived dishonorable acts. It then discusses honor killings in India, including prevalence in certain states, common reasons such as inter-caste or inter-religious marriages, and recent cases. It also examines the role of khap panchayats or caste councils in perpetuating honor killings by interfering in couples' marriages. The Supreme Court of India is said to have issued directives to strengthen laws against honor killings.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
