Workplace Gender Equality Policies in Pakistani Corporations
Gender equality in the workplace is a key yet unrealized agenda in the Pakistani business world. Women remain largely excluded from the professional sphere due to women-friendly institutional constraints and entrenched patriarchal norms. Although the constitution and law formally ensure equal rights for all, in practice Pakistani corporations have not been able to translate these commitments into policies that are implemented and enforced on the ground and that make a difference for working women. This study critically analyses the nature of gender equality policies in Pakistani corporations, especially Equal Pay, Women in Leadership, anti-harassment policies, and family-friendly workplace policies. In pursuit of these goals, the study adopts a qualitative research approach and relies mainly on secondary sources such as policy documents, institutional reports, and academic literature.
