In Pakistani town, all agree: women will not vote

[mota bhai 2,675]

MATEELA: For decades, not a single woman in this dusty Pakistani village surrounded by wheat fields and orange trees has voted. And they aren’t likely to in next week’s parliamentary election either. The village’s men have spoken.

“It’s the will of my husband,” said one woman, Fatma Shamshed. “This is the decision of all the families.”

Mateela is one of 564 out of the 64,000 polling districts across Pakistan where not a single woman voted in the country’s 2008 election. The men from this village of roughly 9,000 people got together with other nearby communities to decide that their women would not vote on May 11 either.

Next week’s election will bring a major first for democracy in Pakistan – the first time a civilian government has fulfilled its term and handed over power to another. But women still face an uphill battle to make their voices heard...

Imran Khan, the cricket superstar back in the days when I lived in India, is running. The girls loved him! But he is old now.

That only works if she is free to change her mind at anytime, if she keeps the receipt.
