Hi, I am Zoya Tariq and you are watching Zoya's Women
We have in our studio today, Kashmala Tariq
a prominent politician and legislator
we appreciate your untiring efforts for the empowerment of women and women rights
What is the status of women in our society nowadays?
Tremendous change is in the offing
I have been in the parliament for the last 7 years
Awareness created by media and education came to our help in the parliament
bills for the empowerment of women, honour killing and 'hadood' ordinance were passed
As to the implementation of the enactments, it is still a long way
What is the future of Pakistani women in politics?
The journey of our achievements is irreversible
we hope to have better prospects for this neglected segment of society
But the impediments and barriers in the way require lot of concerted effort
Our society is feudalistic with a narrow mindset
which does not see women on the equal footing with men
