woman has to perform many chores from dawn to dusk. She has to tend to her children, mend
the clothes, clean the floor, go shopping, cook food, and many more. But being fed up with her
mechanical routine, she yearns for the blessings of nature to give her comfort and strength to
live. Every single domestic woman has a dream. She deserves to live a life in the way she
wants, the same as men.
PROBLEMS OF WOMEN'S WORKING:

Following are the main measures of women's working problems.

Society demands women get an education, but unfortunately in Pakistan, women face a lack
of knowledge. According to our beloved Prophet Mohammad (S. A. W. W), the lap of the
mother is the first school of the child. So they must be educated and this would help them go
finding jobs such as bankers, teachers, doctors, artists, designers writers, and many more. In
short, mature, educated, and responsible women should be given opportunities to come out and
share the burden of their families.

country. Women should not be deprived of their rights in getting jobs to earn their living.

to work as machines. They are brought up as if they don't have any deserving lives or dreams to
be accomplished.

considered weak souls, and they cannot fight that much for their rights because they lack
experience.
