Challenges for Women's Access to Higher Education in Pakistan. The Socio-Economic and Cultural Challenges for Women’s Access to Higher Education in Pakistan

      Аннотация: In Pakistan, women's are less likely to enter higher educational institutions and perform household activities. A number of socio-economic and cultural challenges obstruct their way to higher education, but despite these daunting challenges and with the help of my family i have made my way to higher education. Therefore, during my master thesis, i have decided to illuminate these challenges and the present book is a first comprehensive work done on challenges to women's access to higher education in Pakistan. The book thoroughly discussed the key challenges and also made a comparative analysis on challenges faced by Pakistani women's in foreign countries. I believe that the book will open up new window of knowledge and inspire others to work for women's empowerment. In my opinion education is only weapon which can change the world and women's education is key to national progress and success.
