The objective of the study is to investigate the women empowerment
through small ruminants' rearing activities pertaining to Pashtun and
Baloch tribal culture of Balochistan. Random sampling technique was
used to collect the data through five-point Likert scale through selfconstructed questionnaire. Hypotheses were tested using correlation and
regression analysis. Results indicated that women participation may not be
able to empowered them; causing difficulties to adjust themselves in a stern
Pashtun and Baloch culture. The main stay of the common people in
Balochistan is on the rearing of livestock especially small ruminants'.
Every family member takes an active part in small ruminants' rearing
Women Empowerment through Participation in Small Ruminants rearing
of Pashtun and Baloch Tribal Culture of Balochistan-Pakistan
activities. Women role in livestock rearing activities is significant. They
work dawn to dusk and perform every activity within the boundaries of
house. However, their participation regarding the livestock husbandry
does not pay off which they deserve. In Pashtun and Baloch communities’
women have to stay within the boundaries of home, hence, culturally and
traditionally they are not permitted to go outside without the permission of
male members (Nunnally, & Bernstein, 1994). As majority of inhabitants
are engaged with livestock rearing activities, hence, their main focus is
livestock rearing especially small ruminants' production. The results
indicated that women empowerment relating to socio-economic, political,
cultural and psychological are not substantive with the hypotheses.
Factors such as Extensive illiteracy, lack of basic education, training and
experience remain serious obstacles in women’s empowerment in Pashtun
areas of Balochistan.
