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.!!
