    Women are respected & cherished in Pakistan. They have a pleasure to walk to the head of the queue, or to be given the only seat which rarely happens in Europe but a woman's life is far more restricted in Pakistan that we are used to here in the west & a lack of theirrights in such cases as rape & divorce which horrify many of us. As female trveller's Islam usually works in their favour -male travellers will carry your bags & offer cups of tea at the shops. But you need to remember that a Pakistani woman rarely travels alone. Indeed, many never even leave the house unless accompanied by a family member, friend or servant. I, therefore advise foreign women tourists not to travel alone not because it is dangerous , but because it can uposet or even offend a good muslim male to see a woman immodest as to travel unaccompanied. But to tell you the truth in big cities things are changed people are not restricted to their traditional way of living & travelling anymore....

    As a woman travelling alone in Pakistan I almost never had any problems. In the busses the conductors always tried to place me next to other women. I had the feeling, that most of the Pakistani men turned to be my brothers and fathers, when they heard, that I was without a husband. So they did their best to make my travel safe. On the other hand there was that shopkeeper, who just didnot speak to me any longer, when I told him, that I am travelling alone. Of course I always wear proper clothing, when I am travelling in such countries: wide trousers, long sleeves and always a scarf or hat. I had even a local dress of wide and long trousers and a dress to wear over the trousers. To find this kind of local dress is not so easy for me as I am quite big compared with Pakistany women. It was different in the Hunza Valley, as the women there do not hide their faces.
