Glimpses in the life of Pakistani Women
Glimpses in the life of Pakistani Women
Pakistani Women lives in two different regions i.e. urban and rural
In the urban living in big cities where the women are mostly educated and either take up a job different field or own a business. The Pakistani women of today enjoy a better status however different enlightened groups try to elevate the status of women in Pakistani society by giving training in skill development so they can earn extra money for the betterment of their families. As Women is half of this country's strength. Women are generally hard working, often taking care of the house and children as well as being involved in some type of work outside the house.EWM associates are from big cities but they work with hands and hands with our artisans living in the small villages.
Rural women lives are totally different atmosphere as Pakistan is an agriculture country so rural women also participates in the field work along with their men folk. Then to some women in parts of the world, working with thread has long been centuries old way to share their culture and traditions also life experience, and to earn a living. Weaving and embroidery are two important crafts practiced by Pakistani women. The women create folkloric embroideries of their daily lives and depict images such as harvesting the fields, feasts, and children playing to name just a few. Their embroideries, which can be used as wall hangings or cushion covers are quite heavily worked with stitches. Whole family share the project this means that sometimes a daughter will have to help with the weaving or embroidery work and sometimes a son or husband will do the design work. But the work is slow during the harvest season, religious occasions since they temporarily cease the crafts work.
