Abstract
The objective of this research was to study violence faced
by rural women due to gender discrimination, and to
identify what challenges and risks rural women are facing
to respond against this violence. What is the role of
Government and NGO’s in this whole situation that how
much effectively they are helping these rural women
against challenges and risks faced by them. In this study
three villages of Malakand Division which comes under
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were taken under consideration such
as Batkhela, Amandara and Alladand Dehri. Total of 150
women were selected, ages between 25-45, 50 from each
village, interviews were conducted and through KWIC
(Keys words in context) method followed by word count
analysis was used for results interpretation .The main
challenges reported by these women were, lack of support
system, lack of transport system, lack of opportunities, lack
of education, early and forced marriages and no ownership
in land/property. By interviewing all these women it was
easily concluded that government institutions and NGO’s
(national/ international) are putting very less focus on
these areas because these are rural areas which can easily
be ignored.
