This study investigates the effectiveness of community participation in sustainable forestry in Malakand Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It studies the existing mechanism of community participation in the management of forest resources; identifying the factors paralyzing the execution of participatory/joint forest management and highlighting the benefits sharing strategy among different stockholders. To carry out this study qualitative methodology was employed. Four districts i.e. Swat, Shangla, Dir Upper and Chitral were purposively selected out of the total seven districts in Malakand Division. 24 Executive Body, 48 General Body members of the selected JFMCs and 24 Forest Department employees were individually interviewed in the selected districts. Moreover, 08 Focus Group Discussions were also conducted to ensure more reliable information. It was found that there was gigantic gap between the theoretical claims and practical implementation of participatory approach in the management of forest resources as the Forest Department had meager resources for the implementation of participatory approach in the management of forest resources. The, staff responsible for such activities, was neither available nor properly trained to perform their duties. The specialized staff had no proper service structure and incentives while working in far-flung hilly areas. Owing to economic and socio-cultural constraints, forest-non owners and women were excluded from the management of forest resources and its benefits. The royalty from the forest products was distributed among the forest owners on the basis of male members in a family. Females and forest-non owners were not given any share in it. Therefore, the poor people were not interested to participate in forest management activities without incentives. The study suggests that the capacity of Forest Department staff should be built and it should provide with financial resources for the proper implementation of participatory approach. The local masses should be mobilized and organized for active participation in the management of forest resources and the benefits sharing strategy should be made pro-poor and gender sensitive. Furthermore, it is suggested that separate women organizations (JFMCs) would be more effective in such areas where women are in close interaction/contact with forest resources and their socio-cultural setup does not allow them to participate in the same organizations with men.

Pakistani Society and Challenges of Women Empowerment 1988-2000

Pakistani Society has a rigid, male dominated social structure and is divided into rural, urban and suburban areas. In Pakistan gender discrimination is visible in all fields of life. The struggle of women for their rights got a new shape of emergence during the feminist movements in the beginning of 20th century. Then the movement changed into struggle of women empowerment and it took new pace. The word ‘empowerment of women’ has different meanings for different people and its importance varies subject to the social, cultural, political, ideological and geographic scenario with respect to geological areas. Women’s rights were exploited and violated in Pakistan and women in the society raised their voices for change in their lives. In Pakistani patriarchal society, women are restricted in mobility, their participation in paid jobs is limited, and their economic independence is suffering. In a joint family system in Pakistan, women are also not enjoying the same status as that of men and they are considered an entity of second priority. So, there is a need of empowerment of women for elevation of their status in the society and in the family. Due to its importance the empowerment of women is one of the most debatable issues in Pakistan. Pakistan claims a democratic Islamic state. In social sector, especially in education and health, there is gender gap and women in Pakistan are not getting proper share according to their population. Education is an important factor in the empowerment of women but in Pakistan large majority of women is not getting proper education due to the ignorance. Constructed social norms in the society are also big causes of the deprivation of women about their basic rights. In the political field, share of women is low that means the women have limited authority in the process of decision making. Legal system of Pakistan and available land laws are also not sufficient to protect the women’s rights and implementations of these laws are not done judicially. Under these laws and structured norms of the society, women are trying to get space in the available and constructed social structure. All these conditions in Pakistan and deprivation of women in their rights were source of inspiration of this study. Objective of the present study was to find out the possibilities and opportunities for the empowerment of women in Pakistani Society. A survey from all over Pakistan including all provinces and Gilgit Baltistan was conducted. 600 people were included as sample of the study. Objective of the survey was to find the social, political and economical empowerment of women during the era 1988-2000. The instruments of the study comprised a Likert type questionnaire, and documentary analyses of the data of national elections held in 1988, 1990, 1993, and 1997. From data analysis, it was found that during this era women were deprived from their basic rights and they did not have proper position in the society. There was no sex difference in the opinion and both male and female members of the society observed that the level of women empowerment was at low point. In the four general elections held in Pakistan during the period under study women also participated on general seats. Analysis of the study revealed that participation of women in political process was low and was not in accordance with their population. Even the reserved seats for women were abolished during the said period.
