The Fifth 2013 issue of Annual Research Journal of Gender Studies: ‘The Women’ collects mix contributions from different areas of the women’s relations with society, in compliance with the typical multi-disciplinarily of the journal. This journal is affiliated with the world’s largest academic multi-disciplinary database in EBSCO hostTM. Due to the bureaucratic error at University of Sindh, Jamshoro, we have been late and couldn’t produce the 5th issue according to the set schedule.

It gives me great pleasure to inform the readers that the Annual Research Journal “The Woman” is recognized in the “Z” category by the HEC (Higher Education Commission) Islamabad. No doubt it is a dream comes true, for I have many dreams for the Institute, and one has already become a reality. The present issue addresses various concerns of the gender, society and culture, which is so typical of a multidisciplinary journal.
