“Democracy, as an ideology, based on citizens’ equal participation in state affairs irrespective
of class, creed, color and sex. It cannot be gender-biased. Women constitute more than 50% of
the world population. Pakistan’s Constitution of 1973 guaranteed women’s political rights on
equal footings with men. Pakistan’s electoral history manifests a pitiable picture of women
politics. The 9/11 incident and assassination of Benazir Bhutto notoriously labeled Pakistani
society as extremist, fundamentalist and modern terrorist one. The war on terror greatly affected
the state where every-second family has faced causality. In spite of all these insurgencies and
uncertainties, the general elections of 2002, 2008 and 2013 witnessed greater women’s political
participation. The reports of FAFEN, IDEA, PILDAT and EU Observation Mission and Election
Commission of Pakistan also acknowledged the truth that women’s political participation has
been increased in Pakistan, tremendously. This paper has highlighted the accelerating trend in
women politics by means of casting votes, launching elections campaigns and contesting
elections on general seats”.
