 Mehnaz safdar(2021) stated that the Pakistani women not
involved in decision making process in farming and family
matters. women are working in farming and house-holds
chores but their effort is unrecognized and they are unpaid
workers.
 In rural areas women have no access to land or inputs and have
less income generating opportunities and they are dependent
for money on men.
 It is concluded that non availability of the advance equipments,
lack of education, low family income are the big constrains.
Due to the male dominant society they face these contraints.In
this situation government should take proper step introduce
proper mechanism for women farmer gave technical
information on agriculture.

trying to ensure women empowerment by providing them
better access to the education their participation in decision
making increasing female number in every sector. To validate
government effort it is realized in rural development like access
to resources, decision making power, mobility and self-esteem .
These factors are influenced by the socio-economic factors.
