Dawn.com the English language news site covering Pakistan has an interesting editorial about entrenched gender disparities.
The issue is highlighted because of a dispute in a maternity ward in Faisalabad where one mother gave birth to a baby girl, another to a son, and both mothers said the son was theirs.
Pakistan has legislated to promote equality, but the dominant mindset which still prefers males - as seen in the maternity case - still needs a radical shift, says the editorial.
