Why is women's education still controversial in some areas of Pakistan?

Hi everyone,

I've been following various developments in education in Pakistan, particularly related to women's and girls' access to schooling. I've noticed that while significant progress has been made in many regions, in some rural or more conservative communities, there's still notable resistance or controversy when it comes to girls receiving education.

I'd like to understand:

• Why do some areas still resist women's education?
• What cultural, social, or religious factors contribute most strongly to this stance?
• Are attitudes genuinely shifting toward greater acceptance?

I'm keen to have an open, respectful discussion to better understand different perspectives. Thanks for sharing your insights!
