abstract: 'This paper aims to explore the attitudes of men towards women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment in Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan. Data was collected through a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
survey from men belonging to different backgrounds and experiences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including professionals working in NGOs, government officers,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
businessmen, and university students. The data illustrates that despite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high literacy rates for women and an increase in labour participation of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women in Gilgit City, men do not favour women''s work, especially in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
male-dominated professions. Interestingly though, men disapproved of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their own sisters/wives/relatives working along with men in certain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
professions yet they readily accepted the idea of having women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
colleagues at work. Nevertheless, women''s work in private spaces and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their contribution to familial responsibilities were acknowledged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Women''s employment was believed to involve challenges and barriers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including harassment, low wages, and slow promotions. The outcomes of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s work were perceived to be positive and to be leading towards
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better health conditions and empowerment.'
