Abstract
This research paper focused on the Systemic barriers to women's political
participation in Rahim Yar Khan District, Pakistan. Based on the analysis of survey
data and Elite interviews, this study explores the sociocultural and economic factors
inhibiting women’s electoral participation.
The theoretical framework adopted by this study is liberal feminism which
states that which assumes that the societal power structure discriminates against
women. A thematic literature review on women's political participation in global,
regional, national, and local Rahim Yar Khan indicates that challenges include
cultural or structural barriers, education and information, gender roles, and economic
dependence.
