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.
