Recent reports and events highlight the persistent challenges and emerging opportunities for women's representation and rights in Pakistan. The Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), as reported by Dawn on February 13, 2026, underscores the underrepresentation of women in traditional media, where they constitute only 11% of news subjects. However, digital platforms offer a more inclusive space, with women making up 26% of subjects in internet news. The report, based on a single day's monitoring during heightened military tensions, reveals systemic trends, noting that women are most visible in arts and health reporting but nearly absent in politics and crime. It also highlights a stark gender disparity in news production, with women contributing to only 5% of print bylines and predominantly serving as anchors rather than field reporters. "These findings illustrate a consistent platform-based gap," the report states, emphasizing the potential of digital media to enhance women's visibility.
