Geographically and historically, the area constituting Swabi District is a part of the Peshawar valley, and a famous center of Buddhism and the Gandhara civilization.
This is despite the fact that the majority of the male members of local civil society organizations are educated and belong to rich families: their exposure to human rights and women’s rights issues appears to have had little influence on their mindset, at least when they think or decide about women land rights.
It is interesting to note that Swabi is considered one of the most educated Districts, including female education, and people generally believe that the residents of Swabi are very “advanced” and progressive but we found that ground realities are very different.
