Germany is a developed country no matter what metric you look at, be it women's empowerment or literacy, Germany will be better at it, it does not mean you are following Germany.
I am saying this because it is used in countries with extreme poverty such as African countries. Even Africa today is getting ahead of Pakistan. Not only is it helping with poverty but also helping control fertility rates.

Don't joke that Pakistan tried women's empowerment, Pakistan is probably the worst country in the world for a girl to be born. Out of 149 countries in the Gender Gap Report, Pakistan's rank was 148 so dont bullshit me.

“We’re the first generation of people who do really know what the cure for poverty is. It eluded people for a long, long time. The cure for poverty has a name, in fact. It’s called the empowerment of women.” - Christopher Hitchens
When you have to quote a garbage bin like DAWN to make a point, we know your argument is useless to begin with.
Please don't use this western yardstick to measure what is going on in our society. I would rather raise my daughter in Pakistan then any other western country.
