The glass ceiling

By

Dr.Saqba Alam

A glass ceiling is a political term used to

describe "the unseen, yet unbreachable

barrier that keeps minorities and women

from rising to the upper rungs of the

corporate ladder, regardless of their

qualifications or achievements.

Her ability to lead in a field dominated

by men! Her ability to stand as your

equal……by your side!! especially

considering the intense pressure that a

high profile job like this entails.

Working women in Pakistan still face great

obstacles moving up the corporate

ladder and are often excluded from the

decision-making process for important

social, political and economic issues.

The fact that Pakistan ranks second last

in a list of 135 countries with gender gap

(World Economic Forum 2012) suggests

that workplace equality is still a

farfetched idea in the country and this

can have severe repercussions on not

just the health and education of

ambitious women across the world but

also business and society in general.!!
