“Democracy, as an ideology, based on citizens’ equal participation in state affairs irrespective of class, creed, color and sex. It cannot be gender-biased. Women constitute more than 50% of the world population. Pakistan’s Constitution of 1973 guaranteed women’s political rights on equal footings with men. Pakistan’s electoral history manifests a pitiable picture of women politics. The 9/11 incident and assassination of Benazir Bhutto notoriously labeled Pakistani society as extremist, fundamentalist and modern terrorist one. The war on terror greatly affected the state where every-second family has faced causality. In spite of all these insurgencies and uncertainties, the general elections of 2002, 2008 and 2013 witnessed greater women’s political participation. The reports of FAFEN, IDEA, PILDAT and EU Observation Mission and Election Commission of Pakistan also acknowledged the truth that women’s political participation has been increased in Pakistan, tremendously. This paper has highlighted the accelerating trend in women politics by means of casting votes, launching elections campaigns and contesting elections on general seats”.
