Breaking Boundaries

For a country that appears frequently in international headlines,most people worldwide have little knowledge about the real Pakistan. Its role in the war on terror is of great interest but few have fully explored what values,beliefs and ambitions of the natives really are. The dominant discourse about Pakistanis is of a traditional,patriarchal,backward and radical minded society that lacks law and order and practices corruption. What can be said about women in such a society when even the common man is suppressed? Contrary to this view,women in Pakistan have inched their way beyond the boundaries of their homes and have even firmly established their presence in many sectors of the society.
