Pakistan: Country Gender Assessment - Overall Gender Analysis
Institutional Document | December 2016
Human capital investments have improved the situation for women in Pakistan in health and education access, as well as economic and political participation.
Still, wide gender gaps remain within the context of persistent poverty and gender-biased cultural norms. 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.
