Abstract
This interpretive qualitative study covers the research gap by exploring and
discussing the obstacles and factors that limited women„s participation in politics
and the electoral process. Secondly, by making the comparative analysis of PTI
and PML(N), this study discovers the difference between policies and strategies
of newly emerging and already established party to address the issues of women„s
low participation and under - representation in parliament and the party system of
Pakistan. Although at an individual level, both male and female encouraged
women to take part in the political process, yet overall the collective patriarchal
mind set of Pakistani society discouraged women to come forward and participate
in the political process of Pakistan. Most of the interviewee pinpointed the
hurdles and challenges faced due to patriarchal attitude of society which limit
women‟s participation in politics and they told that participation of women in
politics is connected to male„s perception.
