Gender Equality is getting hype these days. However, women still have to face some challenges that affect their professional growth and advancement. Gender inequality in the workplace is a constant issue that has attained strong attention in the modern era. However, women in FPSC are turning the tables. We have gathered information about certain challenges and of course, opportunities faced by women in FPSC. Let’s discuss them without wasting a minute.

Challenges Faced By Women In FPSC Jobs

In the past few decades, we have seen an abrupt shift in the role of females in the workplace. Women are now seen as fighter jet pilots, educators, customer service heads, company executives, admin leaders, and in banking, HR, and the telecom sector. Women in families are now also financially supporting their households. Although the number of working women is increasing daily, there are still barriers they must cross to prove themselves valuable in the job market.

Women workforce may face different challenges in the jobs like gender-based discrimination, harassment, work and family issues, and unequal pay. But luckily this is not in the case of women in FPSC. They are paid equally without any gender biases. FPSC also provides them an edge by offering a separate Women quota to encourage females to apply for FPSC jobs. However societal issues persist.

Domestic Restrictions:

Earlier, women were confined to their homes, with their primary role being household chores. Over time, due to increasing economic pressures on families, this restriction has been lifted. Now, in most families, women are allowed to pursue higher education and take on paid jobs, though under certain restrictions. The majority of working women can be seen as health workers, educators, clerks, or in other low-paid jobs that men often avoid due to limited growth opportunities and low pay scales. Women are permitted these jobs because of the female-dominated environment. This has restricted women’s exposure to other opportunities and limited their growth in the developmental sector. After a full day of work at the office, regardless of their fatigue, they also have to manage domestic chores.

Married Working Women Concerns:

According to a recent survey most married women are not permitted to work. As it becomes challenging for them to balance work and household chores due to increased responsibilities. Traditionally, men are seen as the primary breadwinners, and it is not well-received if women support the family financially or earn more than men. Married working women also encounter issues at work. They often cannot work late hours. Many workplaces lack nurseries or daycare facilities where mothers can leave their children.

Challenges in Transport For Working Women:

The transport system in our country is inadequate. This poses a significant challenge for women who need to commute to work. Both men and women face this issue. In addition to the lack of public transport, women often face harassment. They are compelled to travel on buses and vans because taxis are costly.

What Are The Opportunities For Women In FPSC Jobs?

Here is a brief overview of certain golden opportunities for women in FPSC positions:

No Harassment at the Workplace:

Harassment is another significant problem faced by working women, as they are often seen as easy targets by male colleagues. Most women in Pakistan leave their homes to earn money only in times of extreme need, making them highly vulnerable. Colleagues and higher management harass them by passing inappropriate remarks, mocking them, or, in extreme cases, sexually harassing them. However, this is not the case for women in FPSC roles. You can work comfortably and safely in your workplace. So, feel confident applying for the upcoming FPSC jobs. If you want to advance your career in a supportive environment here is a great opportunity.

Equal Pay Assurance:

Employees are prohibited from discussing their salaries in various sectors. It prevents them from knowing if they are being underpaid. Bullying, harassment, and abuse are obvious acts, but lower wages are a silent offense—no one complains, and the issue persists. Females are often paid less because a general mindset in our society is that, they will quit their jobs after marriage or having children. Women also tend to choose less challenging jobs to spend more time at home. Parenthood adversely affects women’s careers, unlike men’s.

Luckily, as an FPSC employee, you don’t need to worry about your payroll. There is a standard pay scale that doesn’t depend on gender. You can be happy knowing that you are paid equally to men.
