But media field is a level head that brings more problems and challenges for them. The several research papers conclude with findings that Pakistan is not a suitable country for media working women. The numerous working women in the media sector of Hyderabad were unattended. Sadly to write that there was no thorough research ever conducted on their sociocultural problems. Hence, the qualitative research, with a purposive sampling method was conducted on socio-cultural problems of working women. Initially, 40 participants’ list was prepared from both print and electronic media, but later 20 participants were purposively short-listed for in-depth interviews. Moreover, the interviews were recorded in local languages: Sindhi and Urdu. The research revealed that they were pressurized, hindered, and misbehaved when they came into the field of media.

Which is again considered as a priority goal among sustainable development goals set by United Nations which are supposed to be achieved until 2030. As per these goals MMR should be minimized at the level of 71 deaths among 100,000 live births during a specific time period. However, Sindh government couldn’t achieve the target of 2015, instead of running Mother New born and Child Health (MNCH) program at grass-roots level. Though government has appointing number of lady health visitors and workers but still there is need of more to cover all population of rural areas. It was found during study that available maternal health workers in rural areas are not enough in number and quality to reduce maternal mortality ratio. Majority of women are declared with nutritional deficiencies by local maternal health workers. Ratio of maternal mortalities due to malnutrition is a...

This research surveys the socio-economic background and factors that influenced the inmates to commit crimes. The mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative) was applied for this exploratory study. More than half of the prisoners (72.9%) belong to rural regions. It was found that 54.1% female criminals were illiterate, while 52.6% respondents were in the age group of 21-30 years when they committed a crime. The majority of female criminals (42.9%) had 6,000 to 10,000 per month family income. 37.7% respondents tried to commit suicide due to multiple reasons like mismatched marriage before entrance in the department of correction. 32.3% respondents were physically abused in their childhood. 81.2% female criminals were married and 48.2% were victims of domestic violence. 96% respondents were married betw...

Through the convenience sampling method, 34 victims of street crimes were selected and interviewed. All the victims were students of the different universities in Jamshoro. The results indicate that all the victims belong to the young age group. It is interesting from the perspective of law and order that culprits used bikes that were unlisted or lacked license plates in their crimes. The timing of the criminal activities was critical, as 79% occurred between 2:00 pm and 7:59 pm. Furthermore, 62% of victims belonged to the University of Sindh Jamshoro. Insight into this type of misfortunate activity suggests that vehicles that are unregistered and/or lack license plates must be banned to control street crimes. There is a great need to polish the image of the police in the public eye. Furthermore, “community policing” may serve better for this purpose.

Research includes a comprehensive literature review, focused on defining CT, understanding CT expectations in education, and expounding on how CT is best developed. To better support CT development and subsequent student achievement, a consensus should be reached regarding the definition of CT, and we consider prominent ideas of CT and its nature to offer a potential encompassing definition. This paper also includes analysis of a selection of Ontario's curriculum documents as well as a survey of professors teaching at universities across Ontario to identify CT promotion and expectations. CT is clearly valued in education, and is an important contributor to student achievement and academic success. However, our research demonstrates that explicit secondary school development of CT is often not sufficient considering the demands of higher education.

Bangles are considered as an important part of bride’s jewelry in all communities of Pakistan. In certain communities, there is a custom which says, that gold bangles should not be worn alone by married women and should be teamed with glass bangles popularly known as kaanch ki choodiya.

One of the oldest art objects in India, the bronze figurine of a dancing girl excavated at Mohenjo-Daro epitomizes the antiquity and the universality of wrist ornaments in the region.
