Project Title

Exploring the Fieldwork Experiences of Undergraduate Women in Karachi, Pakistan

Description

Lack of mobility and limited access to public spaces for women is one of the most severe gender inequality challenges in Pakistan. This study utilized an exploratory approach methodology to explore the fieldwork experiences of women through in-depth individual interviews and thematic analysis. The findings highlighted the extra measures and the various aspects women have to navigate through simply to carry out field research in Karachi. Therefore, this study aimed to address the gaps in the literature regarding the fieldwork experiences of women in Karachi, which has significant policy implications for urban mobility practices, field training of women, and the tenets of feminist research. In doing so, it provides key insights for policymakers as it uncovers the relationship between female mobility practices and the issues they encounter in the field.
