However men have rights to read and proudly dominating the societies but where are our females? Do they have rights to read? They are just supposed to play her role, as a housewife, mother, wife or daughter. Men and women are not being seen equality into this education world. Lack of emphasis of the significance of women’s education is one of the basis features of gender inequality in Pakistan.

Apart from this, women can bring several positive results in human development areas such as child survival, health and schooling. As an education mother can make educated son and improve her own society by using the power of education which is the most valuable thing in this entire world. But the lower rate of women literacy rate can only create negativity on the economic growth while decreasing the regular level of human capital.
It is well-known that education is the only thing which can create perfect personalities and can enable the women to develop their mind and other required things, organizational, managerial and administrative skills.
