Financing for Gender Equality: Tackling Poverty, Institutional and Financing Challenges for Gender Equality
August 22, 2024
This report presents a comprehensive analysis of gender equality initiatives and challenges in Pakistan, focusing on collaborative strategies, policy recommendations, and resource allocation across various levels of governance and sectors. It highlights the importance of multistakeholder collaboration, including government, civil society, and the private sector, in addressing socio-cultural barriers and promoting gender
equality.
How can the government ensure gender equality systematically? This means addressing poverty, eliminating Gender based violence (GBV) and discrimination, strengthening institutional infrastructure, laws, and policies, as well as addressing financing gaps for implementation. Given Pakistan’s challenges, the actions and measures are complex but not impossible to address effectively, as demonstrated by some of the achievements on gender equality.
