- Girl Education in Rural Pakistan Saeeda Shah Umbreen Shah Educación rural pakistan Girls education cultural and belief systems Girl Education is a global issue. Many reports and papers, including UNESCO reports on gender monitoring and education highlight the intensity of the challenge across the world. It is underpinned by myriad factors ranging from a genuine desire on the part of the family to protect and safeguard the girls in specific contexts to cultural determinants, social manipulations, gender discrimination, economic priorities, religious interpretations, political exploitations, vested interests, and simple pragmatics, among many others. However, the nature of these factors and their combinations vary in diverse societies influenced by dominant cultural and belief systems, as well as by the economic parameters. This paper attempts to debate the issue, inviting to respond to legitimate concerns, to involve all stakeholders, to solicit social mobilisation, to remove practical barriers, to facilitate acceptable structures, and to ensure effective outcomes. The underlying argument is that ensuring education for girls is crucial, not only for resolving gender inequities, but it is also critical for combating with personal and national poverty. 2012 artículo científico 2014-3575 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=317127650004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3171 Revista Internacional de Sociología de la Educación application/pdf Hipatia Press Revista Internacional de Sociología de la Educación (España) Num.2 Vol.1
