In reply to Hafiz Ali.

Islam and the interpretations of the texts can change and evolve like everything else even in Pakistan. I like ibn Arabis writings on the subject where men and women can do the same work etc. "Eve was created from Adam, and so she has two determinations, that of male by virtue of origin and that of female by virtue of contingency." And that is the last I write on this.
Anyway hopefully things will improve for the better for men and women.

PS
Al-Azhaab:33 which is often interpreted to mean women cant work outside home can be interpreted numerous ways. Such is the nature of language. Peace.
