Abstract
The Working Group on women in physics of Pakistan organized the first Regional Conference on Women in Physics (RCWIP 2016) on April 25–27, 2016, at the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad. The report of the conference is presented along with strategies planned and recommendations passed by the participants. In this report the status of higher education in Pakistan and problems with its accessibility to women because of gender inequality in our society is discussed briefly. We also discuss the social constraints that are deeply rooted in the cultural orientation of the people of this country.The Working Group on women in physics of Pakistan organized the first Regional Conference on Women in Physics (RCWIP 2016) on April 25–27, 2016, at the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad. The report of the conference is presented along with strategies planned and recommendations passed by the participants. In this report the status of higher education in Pakistan and problems with its accessibility to women because of gender inequality in our society is discussed briefly.
