Decentralization and Women Empowerment in Pakistan

Beschreibung

This book analyzes the impact of 33% quota for women in local government on women empowerment in Pakistan. Examining the advances made and hurdles faced by women councillors, certain obstacles are identified, which help explain why efforts for mainstreaming gender are not changing gender inequality patterns and reducing gender gaps in Pakistan. Future strategies are proposed for enhancing the impact of women s political participation on women empowerment by institutional transformation.
