Answer 2

In the simplest terms discrimination is the unequal treatment of people on the basis of characteristics that differentiate those [1]. According to Quillian [2] factors such as stereotypes, prejudice and/or racism motivate a person to discriminate. Gender discrimination as the name suggests is the unfair treatment of women and denial of opportunities and violation of their rights. In the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) gender discrimination was defined as “any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing of nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field”. Despite the numerous gender discrimination laws and court rulings, women are subjected to unequal treatment in all spheres of life all over the world .

According to Wadesango [6] gender discrimination in everyday experiences is common in the developing countries. Pakistan is one of such countries where gender discrimination is common, in fact when it has been ranked as the second worst country in the world (143 out of 144) by the World Economic Forum in the gender inequality index [7]. In the province of Balochistan male domination is quite strong and so is the oppression of women. Discrimination against women is the strongest in the patriarchal tribal areas and even in big cities like Quetta where women are deprived of their basic rights in every sphere of life and decisions regarding their lives are taken without their consent. One basic reason for gender discrimination is the rigid culture and strict customs of Balochistan that keeps the women suppressed and unaware of their rights.
