Abstract
Women in every society across the globe face varying degrees of problems and
discrimination. Pakhtun society is no exception. In terms of cultural relativity
problems of Pakhtun society and that of women are peculiar. A very important
cultural characteristic of Pakhtun society is excessive self-aggrandized identities,
which have complex implications for the whole society. But for women, selfaggrandizement has several anti-social implications. This paper explores the
consequences of self-aggrandizement, prevalent among Pakhtuns, for women and
the impact it has on their empowerment, mainstreaming and attainment of
fundamental rights.
