The Baloch women, constitute like any other social group,
about half of population. The Baloch women, as well in all
communities, are more illiterate than men. Like other social groups,
the Baloch women share problem related reproductive health. When
primary and secondary subsistence activities are counted, women
work more than men. The connectional framework to analyse
women’s status comprise the seven roles women play in life and
work:- parental, conjugal, domestic, kin, occupational, community
and as an individual. In order to appraise the social status of women
in these diverse ecological areas, the findings have been divided into
subsequent categories:- (a) a girl; daughter, (b) mother, (c) married
women and (d) common women. Role of women not only of
importance economic activities, but her role in non-economic
activities is equally important. The Baloch women work very hard, in
some cases even more than men. However, in their own world
women have a freedom, and self-expression. With the onset of
developmental programmes economic changes are take place but
Baloch women remains traditional in their dress, language, tools
and resources. The Baloch women play very important and
historical role in the field of politics, social, economy, literature,
health etc. The structure of the society is being changing due to
emerging the Baloch people from nomadic to semi-nomadic and
agro-pastoral. Modernization is bringing changes, which affect man
and women differently. The rapid changes and modernization in the
structure of society not only bringing positive impacts but it is
affecting and damaging constructive values, traditions and norms,
prevails in Baloch society from the centuries, which are badly
affecting the respect, honour and dignity of women. There is need of
incorporation and promotion of constructive values, traditions and
norms with recent rapid changes, revival of positive aspects and
protection of the status women in the light of historical role and
importance of women.
