Pakastanian Women

A detailed Summary of Pakastanian Women

After viewing the film "Purdha" in class, I found many different types of positions, issues, and interests for three sides of the problem: the men of the rural Pakistani villages, the women of those villages, and the western world's point of view. A position is when someone says what they want An issue is a question which defines dispute, and an interest is parties desired goals. After viewing this film, I also had a lot of anger built up inside of me to see how the women are treated over there; however, I will not be discussing my anger, but only my response to the abuse the women go through because of Pakistan people's beliefs.

The problem with this issue is that hundreds of women are killed and burned each year. This makes their children in danger by showing that this might happen to them, and it's ok for this to happen.
