Pakistan has been the first Muslim-majority nation to elect a woman as head of government. While Pakistani women continue to struggle for advancement, they have made strides by a number of measures. Among these are the rising numbers of women in well-paying professional occupations, increased activism by feminist groups, and a recent rapid reduction in the number of children per woman.
