Abstract

For this purpose, 50 respondents (female beneficiaries of UCT Cash grant) were randomly taken from the purposively selected areas of the targeted population. The findings of the present study illustrated that the BISP is playing a helpful role in women empowerment. In addition, even though some beneficiaries described their serious reservations about the dishonesty in the fund transferring mechanism of the unconditional cash transfer (UCT) cash endowment of Benazir income support program. But, most beneficiaries were found to be pleased. Generally, the findings of the present study revealed that Benazir income support program plays an awe-inspiring role for empowering women.
