I am in Pakistan for the first time. I arrived Friday night - two days ago - and can count the women I've seen on one hand. This is definitely the land of men! A very quick introduction to the challenges I will meet here since one of my assignments is to come up with a strategy for helping women participate more in our project activities and have a greater voice in decision-making. To do that, it would be helpful to actually to talk to some women so I hope I can find some...
Other than that, I haven't seen too much yet. Karachi is huge, crowded, and noisy and traffic rules don't exist (or they do, but of course everyone driving are men and we all know what that means....).
I just realized that the hotel gym is reserved for women from 10 to 4. Hmm, maybe I could see some women AND get excercise? I have a feeling I'll be pretty alone, but you never know. Good luck to me!
