In Pakistan, which province remains the worst region for women with the highest female mortality rate?
A. Punjab
B. Sindh
C. KPK
D. Balochistan
Balochistan remains the worst region for women with the highest female mortality rate.
According to the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Report 2021, Pakistan ranks 153rd out of 156 countries on gender parity. Within Pakistan, Balochistan remains the worst region for women with the highest female mortality rate. The Pakistan Maternal Mortality Survey reports 298 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in Balochistan compared to the national average of 186. And yet, in Balochistan, there is a story of hope. By continuing to ignore the case study of district Kech, however, we are missing out on so much.
