Women Empowerment and Its Role in Pakistan Politics (A Case Study of Sindh)

Abstract

Women being the most disadvantaged section of Pakistani society require special attention in regard with political empowerment to play their due role in overall development of the country. This becomes more important when we talk about political status of women in Sindh. Being one of the area where cultural and social conservativeness remains highly rooted in the society, women in rural areas of Sindh are unable to find space in political activity in elections. Though, there are some exceptions but largely women in Sindh struggle a lot in cashing-in their political power by exercising constitutional basic right. This needs to be addressed by the state governing bodies so that women in Sindh can play their due political role.
