| contents | <p>This study investigate the social barriers affecting women's political empowerment in Bajaur <br>District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Despite constitutional guarantees and policy efforts to enhance <br>gender equity and equality, female involvement in the political activities remains neglected due to restricted <br>mobility, traditional gender role, purdah (veiling), limited access to resources and patriarchal norms. The <br>study found that women face more restrictions than men in the political process. The chi-square test was used <br>to assess the association between independent and dependent variable (social barriers with women's political <br>empowerment). This study employed a quantitative research design and collected primary data from 375 <br>household heads through a structured questionnaire. The study concluded that despite constitutional and <br>structural provisions guaranteeing women's political participation, various social barriers hinder the <br>implementation of these provisions. The study results indicate a significant relationship between women's <br>political empowerment and social barriers such as traditional gender role, Purdah (Veiling), Patriarchal <br>norms, family influence religious misinterpretation, ignorance, no political awareness, and restricted mobility. <br>The study recommends advocacy campaigns to raise awareness about gender inclusion, promote women's <br>political roles, and include them in policy interventions at the community level, with a focus on education. <br>Moreover, these findings contribute to the broader discourse on gender and political participation in <br>developing societies and provide empirical evidence for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to strengthen <br>democratic inclusion.</p> |
