dc.description.abstractThe study aims to explore the historical and current situation of women's political participation in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province of Pakistan, the challenges and impediments faced by women, and the opportunities and solutions for the future. Despite the constitutional emphasis on women's security, representation, and participation in politics, the participation of women in KPK has been limited due to cultural and religious customs, tribal and patriarchal culture, and a lack of education and political awareness. However, recent socio political changes have increased women's involvement in politics in KPK, with more women participating in elections, becoming political workers, and politicians. The changing trend is attributed to various factors, including the establishment of a liberal political party in the province, the removal of conservative groups, media, education, and technology. The study highlights the significance of women's political participation for democracy, spreading democratic values and the system of democracy in wider areas of Pakistan, and women's equal role in society. The research is bifurcated into three parts, identifying the causes of the problem, the current situation, and the solutions to ameliorate the condition in KPK. The research aims to assist policymakers in developing policies that can help increase women's political participation in the province and contribute to the democratization of Pakistan.
