Many people in Pakistan raise a lot of hue and cry when someone talks about femi-nism and women’s rights. Men in many conser-vative regions across the country define women’s jurisdictions, confine them to live within those boundaries, and raise voice on their behalf, if at all needed. The report must be discussed in educational institutions throughout the country if we really want practical solutions to these problems. It is an understatement to say that women in rural areas live in vulnerable conditions. Indeed, this centuries-old patriarchal society cannot transform within minutes; it will take time and strenuous efforts to end the misery of our womenfolk.
