This publication is the full Pakistan Country Report of the regional research study ‘Women and Governance in South Asia: Re-Imagining the State.’ The study aimed to understand the nature of, and impediments to, women’s participation in political life and governance; to elicit women’s vision(s) of what the state structure and political culture should be; and to identify their recommendations for refining and altering those processes for political participation that are currently inadequate to meet women’s needs.
