Women’s empowerment in Pakistan

Women’s  empowerment  in Pakistan is heavily dependent on many different variables that include geographical location (urban/rural), educational status, social status, and age. Working women of Pakistan have always tried to improve the financial stability of their respective households but sadly their work is always undervalued. Empowering socially, economically, educationally, politically and legally has always been a difficult task to achieve in an underdeveloped country. Therefore, Pakistani policymakers should specifically, make the policies on women’s empowerment at the national level for  health ,  education ,  economic   opportunities, gender-based violence,  and political participation. Pakistan’s women development model is very much a work in progress where deep-rooted challenges remain. The World Economic Forum has placed Pakistan as the second-worst country on gender equality in its 2017 Global Gender Gap Index. The index placed Pakis...

Save Community by Plantation

Image
   Ways we can help mitigate climate change effects from our community are: 1. Smart and green transportation Around the world, transport contributes about a quarter of the pollution that causes climate change. This comes from cars, trucks, buses, planes, and ships burning fuel made from oil. Building a sustainable economy means ensuring transportation is clean and green. 2. Sustainable eating Livestock farming produces more greenhouse gas than all of the world’s transport combined. This is a result of land clearing, methane (a powerful warming gas) produced by cows and sheep, and a range of other factors. Even if you don’t think you can give up brochettes, it’s a good idea to buy food produced locally, which doesn’t have to travel far from the farm gate to your plate. This will help to reduce your personal contribution to climate change. 3. Plant trees As the world underscores trees as a natural offset for carbon emissions, we believes that forests are a...

Protect Our Species

Image
“In nature, nothing exists alone.” — Rachel Carson, 1962 Nature’s gifts to our planet are the millions of species that we know and love, and many more that remain to be discovered. Unfortunately, human beings have irrevocably upset the balance of nature and, as a result, the world is facing the greatest rate of extinction since we lost the dinosaurs more than 60 million years ago. But unlike the fate of the dinosaurs, the rapid extinction of species in our world today is the result of human activity. The unprecedented global destruction and rapid reduction of plant and wildlife populations are directly linked to causes driven by human activity: climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, trafficking, and poaching, unsustainable agriculture, pollution, and pesticides to name a few. The impacts are far-reaching. If we do not act now, extinction may be humanity’s most enduring legacy.  Here  are some quick facts on the current wave of extinction and addit...

Pollution and Threat to Environment

Image
Fazila Ishfaq (Environmental Engineer) views from Imran Khan :D Look around you and find the ecosystem, is it okay? You can see a lot of contamination, pollution streams loaded with industrial chemicals, rivers got polluted by nutrients which come from farms, inappropriate solid waste management and garbage blowing away from landfills, when you see up in the sky it’s all cover-up in smog. Even if you see chunks of land which are old also get polluted by the pollution. Pollution is a serious threat nowadays. Pollution may be categorized as muddy landscapes, poison soils, and waterways, or may be harmful or kill plants and animals. The people who get out homes daily are mostly and regularly harmed by pollution.

If the environment is polluted by air pollution how can species underwater be safe, fishes accumulate the toxic mat...
