Healthcare in Pakistan is identified as one of the most daunting
tasks. Discrimination with women is a common practice in
Pakistan which starts with their birth and continues all their life.
Women from rural areas are more prone to this discrimination
than their urban counterparts. All these things along with the
fact that reproductive health and related issues in Pakistani
society are hitched with socio-religious belief system, and
therefore are not discussed openly, make this exploratory
research all the more important. The heavy dependency of
women on men, particularly of rural settings makes them more
vulnerable. So, they confront with maltreatments, neglects and
exploitations. The study aims at exploring the process, condition,
socio-economic and religious causes, and impact of problems and
vulnerability of childbearing women in a village called ‘Kot
Pindi Das’ about 12km away from Lahore. The study analyses
the primary data collected through unstructured interviews,
participant observation, and Participatory Rural Appraisal
(PRA) methods to document the phenomenon in detail, and
results in suggesting preventive, regulating, and rehabilitating
measures to address the problem.
