WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY OF PAKISTAN
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
In the context of socio–economic development of women in Pakistan, especially in urban areas development policies and programs tend not to view women as integral to the economic development process. A glance at the socio-cultural scenario of Pakistan reveals that gender –based violence is deep rooted in the society irrespective of language and ethnicity. Women are not given their due roles, rights and respect. This paper examines the present environment which is desperately lacking in social and financial support mechanisms, ineffective implementation of laws. Current research paper is an attempt to bring clarity in the concept of legal security. Patriarchal structure of society, socio-customary practices and discrimination against women are very serious concerns which needed to be understood as multidimensional problem.
