We often hear stories of how terrible it is to be a woman in Pakistan. However, there is hope in the bad news. The stories of oppression would never have come out except for the new openness in Pakistan.
The debate may turn violent at times. However... at least the debate is going on. If Pakistani women were still forced to stay at home, there would be nothing to debate.
The Supreme Court in Pakistan is on the side of reform. It equates "honor killing" with murder. Yes, this needed to be specified. Another ruling allows unattractive stewardesses to keep their jobs. ...And their bosses are not allowed to make derogatory comments about them.
Revolutions begin, not when the oppressed cannot take it any more, but when the oppressed believe they can win. This is the time for the women's rights revolution in Pakistan, because this is the time they can win.
