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.

   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...
