This document discusses gender bias and inequality in Pakistani society. It notes that gender roles and stereotypes are socially constructed rather than natural, and outlines some of the key ways in which women face discrimination, including in education, economic opportunities, and marriage customs. While literacy rates and female participation in some sectors have increased over time, significant barriers remain. The document calls for raising awareness about legal protections and developing a society without gender bias.

Some 400 private schools enrolling 40,000 girls have been
shut down. At least 10 girls' schools that tried to open after

33. Gender And Occupations

34. DIFFERENCES
• Opportunities
• Salaries / Wages
• Designations
• Second Shifts
• Work Load

36. Low Designations
Gender inequality in the workplace is easy to see in the form of low
designations for women in our society, for example :
• Female nurses assist male physicians
• Female secretaries server male executives
• Female flight attendants are under the command of male pilots

37. Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development
found that female full time employees earned 17 % less
than their male counterparts in 2009
Low Salaries

38. Improvement
Till the late 1990s, it was impossible for women to attain high
ranking posts in any organization of the country. However, with the
inception of telecom giants, Telenor highlighted this issue in the
market. Telenor brought with itself the employment laws which
allowed women of the country to work alongside men and even
provided them with leadership opportunities. Mobilink also adopted
similar policies in order to maintain its superiority in terms of market
share, over Telenor. Thus, the competition provided a step towards
the eradication of gender discrimination in Pakistan.
