Human capital investments have improved the situation for women in Pakistan in health and education access, as well as economic and political participation.

This publication gives a broad analysis of the women’s situation, describes the institutional efforts made toward closing gender gaps, and identifies enhancements to development programming assistance that could usher in gender equality.
