Preamble
In the first paper we discussed the social problem “Lack of Education Opportunities for Women in the rural areas of Pakistan”. We preceded by defining the problem and explaining how other people have defined the issue, moreover, women and girls of the rural or poverty stricken areas of Pakistan were identified as the target audience. The major social, political and economic constraints were also explained and policies and programs made by the Government and NGOs in the past were also analyzed.
Lack of education opportunities for the women in the rural areas of Pakistan is a very broad problem with several associated subtopics and divisions, hence identifying, discussing and analyzing all the areas of interest would be cumbersome.
Lack of knowledge about their rights, importance and role in the society, these women have become habitual of all these discrimination and segregation from the roles in various functions of the society, they think that its written in their fate, they are confined to home by nature, they don’t think that it is not a socially constructed taboo by the male dominated society that’s why no one tries to break away which ultimately would causes a chaotic and catastrophic situation in the society in the long term where poverty increases, the system dysfunctions, social diseases emerge and the whole society suffers from different problems.
