Women face significant barriers, known as a glass ceiling, when trying to rise to leadership positions in corporate and political environments in Pakistan, as evidenced by the country ranking second to last in terms of gender equality according to the World Economic Forum. Working women encounter great obstacles moving up the corporate ladder and are often excluded from important decision-making processes. Breaking through the glass ceiling and achieving workplace equality is still a distant goal in Pakistan, which can negatively impact women's opportunities and the overall business and social environment.

describe "the unseen, yet unbreachable
barrier that keeps minorities and women
from rising to the upper rungs of the
corporate ladder, regardless of their
qualifications or achievements.

by men! Her ability to stand as your
equal……by your side!! especially
considering the intense pressure that a
high profile job like this entails.

obstacles moving up the corporate
ladder and are often excluded from the
decision-making process for important
social, political and economic issues.

7.  The fact that Pakistan ranks second last
in a list of 135 countries with gender gap
(World Economic Forum 2012) suggests
that workplace equality is still a
farfetched idea in the country and this
can have severe repercussions on not
just the health and education of
ambitious women across the world but
also business and society in general.!!
