Abstract
This research aims to explore the controversial representation of women in Pashto proverbs. It delves into the cultural significance of these proverbs and their impact on gender roles and perceptions. Through a deep analysis of a distinct set of Pashto proverbs, this study explores the common stereotypes, biases, and gender-based discrimination fixed in these linguistic expressions. It also investigates the evolving dynamics of women's roles in Pashto society and the potential consequences of these proverbs on contemporary gender relations. The data was collected in Pashtun society, and elders were joined for this purpose. The study's findings showed that these proverbs portray women as weak and dependent, with men as their masters. The negative portrayal of women in Pashto proverbs affects their social and economic status.
