“…The overall enrolment of students in BS is 15 000 (boys) and 3 800 (girls). The Centre for Physics Education conducted a survey to find reasons for there being so few girls at the tertiary level [5]. The enrollment of male and female students in BS physics, MSc, and MPhil can be compared from Table 1.…”

Abstract:The first Regional Conference on Women In Physics (RCWIP 2016) was organized on 25-27 April, 2016 by the working group on women in physics at the National Centre for Physics, Islamabad. We present a report of that conference along with strategies planned and recommendations passed by the participants. Starting from the motive of the working group to organizing the regional conference, we briefly discuss the status of higher education in Pakistan and problems with its accessibility to women because of gender inequality in our society. We will also discuss the social structure of Pakistan and social constraints that are deeply rooted in the cultural orientation of the people of this country. Mots-clés : statut des femmes dans une société islamique, valeurs patriarcales traditionnelles et culturelles, indicateurs socioéconomiques, rôle des femmes en physique, promotion de la physique.

“…In our society the best profession suggested for women is medical and teaching. That's why women study pre-medical subjects instead of pre-engineering at the intermediate level [3]. To obtain statistical data of women physicists in Southern Punjab, we surveyed physics departments in different universities of Southern Punjab.…”

Abstract:The present study reveals the current status of women physicists of Southern Punjab, which is an undeveloped area of Pakistan. To flourish as a growing nation, Pakistani setup needs a change in society, where women are given equal rights in the field of education. This study will also give a brief description of factors due to which female students face hurdles for higher education in physics.Key words: status, women, physics, Southern Punjab, Pakistan.Résumé : Cette étude révèle le statut actuel des femmes physiciennes au Punjab du sud, une région sous-développée du Pakistan. Pour prospérer dans son développement comme nation, le Pakistan a besoin d'un changement social où on reconnaît aux femmes des droits égaux en éducation. Cette étude donne aussi une brève description des facteurs responsables des obstacles que doivent surmonter les femmes qui cherchent à poursuivre des études supérieures.
