As this is obligatory for the development of any country that man and
woman should participate equally in all the spheres of social life. Man, and
women are blessed with the same capabilities meanwhile women are
contributing in every field of social life; they are working as a doctor,
lawyer, teacher, engineer, piolet and many other fields, but society is unable
to give equal status to women. This research study emphasizes the problems
of working women at secondary school level Balochistan-Pakistan.
Working women confront with many disadvantages and social issues for
being female in human society. Further, religious, social and cultural
factors are the obstacles in the social development of woman.
Misconception and misinterpretation of religious explanations regarding
women reasoned the unnecessary restrictions and hindrances in human
society. Besides this, the people of Balochistan strongly believe that woman
should not work with a male so that they should stay within the four walls
of their respective home. The research study aims to discover the problems
and challenges faced by working women.
