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.

Yeah but how much do these poor families earn from child labor, I am sorry but all the kids should be in school if we have to progress as a country and uplift our living standards. And such allowence will negate the need and excuse for the child labor and make sure that parents send their kids to school.
this must be decision of family not government. if family head decides for earning then no one must object this
