Women's participation in politics has been a widely suggested prerequisite of nurturing the
democratic values and achieving gender equality. Additionally, politics is an opportunity for
women where they can voice their concerns through participation in the decision making
process. Moreover, young females' participation in politics can encourage others who have
formerly been unconcerned or felt marginalized. This study was conducted after local
government election in 2015 in Pakistan with the purpose to get an insight of young females'
views about their engagement level in politics. Their attitude were measured by examining the
knowledge, belief and behviour of 472young educated females towards politics. Findings
revealed the role of socioeconomic background caste, and academic disciplines in shaping the
political attitude among young educated women. It is suggested that women's engagement in
politics should be ensured by providing them enabling conditions and environment of trust with
the acknowledgement of their participation.
