This document summarizes a presentation about the glass ceiling effect for women in Pakistan. It discusses how Pakistan is a male-dominated society with gender discrimination and harassment that hinders women's careers. Women face barriers to higher level positions and promotions. They are underrepresented in the workforce and face lower participation rates. The document provides examples of successful women in Pakistan and encourages women to advocate for their value rather than seeking equality and to pursue careers in less restrictive environments.

educational qualification.

fashion, entertainment, and beauty

expectations among women can spread
insecurity and even depression.

feel like you are not worth it and can make you
want to resign.” says Hina Shahid, a full-time
investment banker.

competition.
 Seek a career in a company that isn’t too strict
or male-dominated.

is the path that will lead to success.
