EDUCATION
"I want to go to school to learn but I cannot because my parents do not allow me to do so. We have only one school for boys.” -Palwasha, a young Pakistani girl who lives in a village where female education does not exist
“The situation is especially alarming in rural areas due to social and cultural obstacles. One of the most deplorable aspects is that in some places, particularly northern tribal areas, the education of girls is strictly prohibited on religious grounds.”
Misinterpretation of Islam, which accounts for 96% of Pakistani religion, plays a large role in the limited education accessible to women.
