making. By creating equal economic opportunities. By equitable access to life resources. By controlling gender-blind policies By changing the power structure between women
and men as well as in the ideologies and institutions that preserve and reproduce gender inequality.
Gender equity and Religious paradigms
Religion (at its best) can act as a significant counterweight to support hegemonic institutions of the state , market, society and culture to perpetuate any ideology regarding gender discrimination and gender equity.
Why just females’ marginalization?
The emphasis with in the rights frameworks lay on
protection of the individual rather than groups
rights, but through out the history due to
patriarchal setups of the society the issue of
gender inequality highlights limitations of the
rights and marginalization of females rather then
males.

Far or against Gender Equity?
The Acceptance Continuum of Audience /Listeners
1. Leaders who are committed to change and
will work hard for it. 2. Supporters who will help but not lead. 3. Fence-sitters who won’t do anything to help
or to hinder. 4. Skeptics who may passively resist the
change. 5. Resisters who will actively work against the
change.
Goal / Objective of the Presentation
It is not necessary for everyone to agree to make
substantial gender equity progress but our main
goal is to move everyone one step up the ladder in
order to construct social change by dismantling
gender in equality in society and at least to make
everyone think and ponder upon this issue.
