The Other Side of the Picture Despite all this improvements women are still lagging

behind men in almost all fields.

The gross female participation rates in schools are still too

low. The literacy rate of females in Pakistan is at 39.6 %

compared to that of males at 67.7 %.

Reported by one reliable survey at 45% at the primary

level.

About 32% at the middle level and 27% at the secondary

level in the year 2000. (Ministry of Women Development

2005)

Problems Faced by Working Women


19/22

Cont

Women are performing their role as doctors, teachers,lawyers, and many other fields of life.

But still society is not giving them their legitimate

status and working women are facing a lot of problemsin Pakistan.

They are ignored in the decision making process andthey are not promoted to higher positions even if they

deserve to be.Women in Pakistan also face problems like sexual

abuse and physical harassment.

Cont There has been recent legislation that has afforded

them protection but it has not been implementedproperly.

Women will not be able to utilize their talents properlyif they do not feel safe in their workplace.

An attitude change is needed across the board and agood first step to effect that would be to implement

existing women-friendly legislation in letter and spirit.
