Status or standing

[AUTOMOON]

When I was confronted with translation of a sentence meaning Afghanistan women enjoy fewer rights than men, I don't know which word to use. Is it Afghanistan women has no standing or Afghanistan women has no status?

"Afghani women have a lower status than Afghani men". "Women in Afghanistan have no status".

"Afghani women have a lower status than Afghani men". "Women in Afghanistan have no status".

who told you that they have no status?

And what status should be given to them?

"Afghani women have a lower status than Afghani men". "Women in Afghanistan have no status".

Dangerously descending into politics. The same status as males in all things.

It's a translation exercise of a statement made by somebody else.;-)

This is an exercise on the best way to write something, nothing more than that. No one is expressing an opinion on anything other than language

I should like to go back to the original question. When do we use standing and when do we use status? You have raise an important question.

I would suggest that the word status can stand by itself. "Children in their society have little status."

I would also suggest that the word standing requires some supporting words. "New legislators in Parliament have a lower standing than those who possess seniority."

But I may not be correct in this. Perhaps others can point to a rule.

Thank you for the question.
