Gender Discrimination and Segregation in Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns

Anam Jabeen *

Abstract

Feminism is an array of political movements, ideologies and social movements that share a common goal–to define, establish and achieve political, economic, personal and social rights for women. Even though, the feminist around the globe lauding their success in ample part of the world is undermining the half of our humanity. Despite many successes of women all over the world to defend and protect their existence, a number of issues of violence, gender discrimination and marginalisation still exist in almost all aspects of life ranging from cultural, political to economic and specially religious and domestic domain. Obscurity to the literary world was one of the consequences of the hostility of the Afghan women within its political boundary.
