Women's empowerment in Pakistan
Abeer Khan, West Palm Beach, Florida
The Awami National Party (ANP) President Asfandyar Wali Khan, a feudal lord, is the second biggest hurdle after the Jamaat-e-Islami, in the empowerment of Pakistani women. Not only he, all the feudal lords are creating difficulties in the way of Pakistani women's success and liberty. They keep women in veils, just like Taliban had done in Afghanistan. They even don't allow girls to go to school, so forget about college! On January 10, the Awami National Party (ANP) stopped women from casting their votes for Bajaur Agency elections. So if we need educated, secular and liberal Pakistan, we have to get rid of this kind of conservative leaders.
