In Pakistan, particularly in the rural and suburban areas, promoting women’s education can perhaps play a vital role in gender
equality. Education will also increase the ability of women to secure employment in the formal sector. The purpose of this
study was to explore the possibilities and opportunities for women’s empowerment in Pakistan. This first stage looked at the
perceptions of a small group of ten women who hold senior posts in a female university. Data were gathered by semistructured informal interviews and it was hoped that considering information-rich cases would illuminate the questions under
study. 1) How the participants in the study understand the role of higher education in empowering women at home and at
their work, 2) what they see as the major constraints to progress in career, 3) what type of coping strategies they propose for
the entire female population to realise their full potential. Participants were more or less agreed that women have to face
socio-cultural hurdles to acquire education and pursue careers. Pakistani women are struggling hard naturally to get their
rights but also to write history of success indicating how opportunities were/ are created and possibilities can be explored and
negotiated in a non-confrontational manner.
