Analysis of Gender Equality in Pakistan

 Barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health rights, receiving a quality education,
fulfilling empowerment goals, and entering the economic sphere are only some of the
ways women are disadvantaged in Pakistan.
 Women suffer from pervasive gender-based violence, from domestic abuse, honor
killings, and sexual violence to institutional discrimination.
 Pakistan has among the most out-of-school children in the world (23 million), and one of
the biggest gaps between boys and girls, measured both by enrolment and learning. For
every 100 boys enrolled in school in Pakistan, 86 girls are enrolled, and girls are less
likely than boys to be able to read and do simple maths.
 In Pakistan, men are generally expected to be breadwinners, and women are generally
expected to stay home. This leads to higher demand for school for sons than for
daughters.
 In Pakistan, 18.3% of women aged 20–24 years old were married or in a union before age
18.
 The adolescent birth rate is 54 per 1,000 women aged 15-19 as of 2017, up from 46 per
1,000 in 2016.
 Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate in Pakistan was 26.55 as of 2021. Its
highest value over the past 31 years was 30.38 in 2015, while its lowest value was 13.32
in 1990.
 The literacy rate measures the percentage of people aged 15 and above who are able to
read and write. In 2019, Pakistan's total literacy rate was around 58 percent, with less
than 46.49 percent of women being literate and more than 69.29 percent of men.
 17 Seats for women in Senate.
 58 Seats for women in National Assembly.
