In many countries, women's rights are protected by the constitution and their social political participation is guaranteed one way or another. However prejudice does exist. And it is pervading many aspects of the society in the world characterized by the male humanism. Religion, tradition and level of economic development, particularly values and mentality of women themselves often hamper the full development of women. To take a closer look at women issues, we are honored to have Madam Nilofar Bakhtiar, adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan to be with us today.
