Despite being an Islamic Republic state, Pakistan does not have any Masjids for Women. Women have been deprived, or possibly restricted, from going to Masjids which is for sure a matter to raise.
However, countries such as India, China, Syria, Sudan, Egypt, Chile, and Palestine have separate mosques for women. Salah is mandatory for Muslim individuals, be they women or men. The absence of separate masjids for women causes salah to be untimed and also distances women from Islamic values. Masjids play a necessary role in the promotion of Islamic principles and religious kinship. For instance, several women avoid five times prayers a day which is a loss of spiritual connectivity, resulting in tension, depression, and mental health troubles.
Therefore, I request the government and regional communities to build Masjids for women in secure and required locations.
