Newspaper Page Text1 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Or., Wedne.Jy, February 18, 13 Conditions in Pakistan Topic for AAUW Meeting The swift revolution which has changed the lives of women in Pakistan was described at a meeting here Satur- oay by Airs. Rehana Asif Latif Islam. She spoke for Medford branch, American Association of University Women, follow ing a luncheon at Mon Desir inn. Dressed in a colorful sari, she made the women of Pakistan "come alive" for her audi ence; her own charm and frequent flashes of humor added appeal to her words, Islam told how 30 ago her grandxatner Mrs, years was considered radical be cause, he allowed her mother and aunt to sit behind a cur tain with a chaperone and take notes on lectures by a college professor. From this seclusion, women have emerged first to colleges of their own and now to coedu cational colleges, the speak er said. - Although only a privileged few have such op portunity they have aroused even women who have had Jewer advantages to step out and claim their rights. Legally these women have had equal rights with men in economic, social and political matters for fourteen cen turies, Mrs. Islam- said. How ever, due to ignorance and rigid custom these rights re mained only theoretical until recently. Within, their homes .they were treated with re spect, but they were kept in their homes, without excep tion. The thing which finally broke down this barrier seg xegatine women was the tragic plight of the refugees -at the time of the division of India, when Pakistan became a separate state, according to the speaker. After this en Irance of women into public life, they were determined to tay - "out", Mrs. Islam said, and the men were dismayed to find them becoming active in many areas of the country's life. APWA Strong ; The All Pakistan Women's association,' commonly re ferred to as APWA, is a strong organization, seeking to establish projects for im provements in health and education especially. They have some well trained lead ers and specialists in these fields, but not enough funds to implement their plans. Women wield great influence in political matters and have ven acted as ambassadors, said the visitor. This influ ence proved embarrassing to some of the newly rich' men who came suddenly to power, according to Mrs. Islam. Many of them divorced their wives, replacing them with women they believed would fit better in their new pattern of life. The women of APWA deemed this most undesirable conduct and let it be known they would not accept it in those they would back po litically. The new-found strength of women has led to the decline of polygamy. Mrs. Islam claims it was never as pre valent as imagined by west erners. It was always sup posed to be only a special sit uation occurrence, allowed to meet a particular problem either of the individual or the group, but she admitted there had been abuses. Hardly ever was a man permitted more than two wives, the speaker said. He was always sup posed to give equal care, affection and attention to each-. "And you know that's impossible," said Mrs. Islam. On the strength of this, the women made polygamy some thing a man would scarcely have the courage to undertake. Older women in Pakistan hold an enviable position ac cording to Mrs. Islam. "Your grandmother, is one you al ways respect and obey or pretend to obey," she added with a smile. r Children in Need In closing she voiced her great feeling of urgency that the desperate needs of the children of Pakistan be met before it is too late. It is in the hope of finding a way to help do this that she is study ing in America. Since this meeting was the annual fellowship luncheon, designed to acquaint members with the workings of the asso ciation's fellowship program, Mrs. Mabel W, Winston, reg istrar and dean of women at PTAtoMark Founders' Day Central Point-Jewett Cen tral Point Elementary and Junior High School Parent- Teacher association will ob serve Founders' day at a meet ing set for Thursday, Feb ruary 19, at 8 p.m. in the cafetorium of Jewett school.

Mrs. Winston, in her former capacity as a regional ! officer of AAUW was instrumental in establish ing the Anchorage,- Alaska, branch which gave the inter national grant assigned to Mrs. Islam.

The fellowship fund is now an endowment of nearly two million dollars, the in come of which is used for fellowships.
