Women Have Turned to Male Dominant Feilds
In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in Pakistan, as more and more women are taking up jobs in male-dominated fields such as delivery riders to provide for their families.
While traditionally, women in Pakistan have been expected to stay at home and take care of their families, economic pressures have forced many to enter the workforce.
The rise of female delivery riders in Pakistan is particularly noteworthy, as it is a profession that is dominated by men. Delivery riders have become an integral part of Pakistan’s economy, as the country has seen a significant increase in online shopping and food delivery services. However, despite the growth of these industries, women have been largely excluded from these jobs.
Many women in Pakistan have turned to delivery riding as a means of supporting their families. With the rise of e-commerce and food delivery services, there has been an increase in demand for delivery riders. This has created opportunities for women who may not have had access to traditional jobs.
The decision to become a delivery rider is not an easy one for women in Pakistan. They face many challenges, including social stigma and harassment.

Many women have reported facing discrimination and harassment from male colleagues and customers. However, despite these challenges, women have continued to pursue this profession.
The rise of female delivery riders in Pakistan is a sign of changing times. Women are breaking down barriers and entering fields that were once considered off-limits to them.
The government and private sector are also recognizing the importance of female participation in the workforce and are taking steps to provide more opportunities for women.
However, there is still a long way to go in terms of gender equality in Pakistan’s workforce. Women continue to face discrimination and harassment, and many are still denied access to education and job opportunities. Nonetheless, the rise of female delivery riders is a step in the right direction and a sign of progress.
Kudos to brave women like Domino’s rider Salma Malik.
