These women serve as inspirational models for other women in Pakistan as proof that their continuous dedication will eventually lead to a fair and proportionate representation of women in Pakistani politics.
As the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah said, “No nationcan rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you” (SDTS), words that are starting to echo in Pakistani society. As Susan B. Anthony says, “There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.”

Sometimes it seems that all significant events have taken place, moreover it was a long time ago. At the same time we forget that there are areas of life, our daily lives, which have been completely different recently. In modern Western societies the right to receive education and to vote for women is natural part of life, contrast to the Third world counties, where women still do not have opportunity to take part in decision-making and influence various spheres of life in their countries. Skeptics may wonder: “What is so special about the fact that women are allowed to vote?”
