Abstract

The gender gap in politics is a universal phenomenon analyzed and discussed by scholars around the World. Though the gender gap in Western democracies is about to close but it still exists in all forms of participatory activities in developing countries including Pakistan. The issue of female under-representation has been governmental concern under certain international commitments but gender gap in participation has not been addressed properly either by government or scholars working in the field of gender and politics in Pakistan. The study contributes to the existing literature by identifying the main actor responsible for this stigma of low participation.
