Pakistan Journal of Women's
Studies: Alam-e-Niswan is published twice a
year by Pakistan Association for Women's Studies
(PAWS). PAWS, its friends and supporters believed
that to encourage analytic responses to feminist
issues and to make connections between the newly
established Women's Studies discipline at the
University of Karachi and Women's Studies world-wide
we must have a scholarly journal. Our deliberations
and discussions convinced us that this journal
should act as a bridge between the activists
and the academics. The first issue of Pakistan
Journal of Women’s Studies: Alam-e-Niswan
appeared in 1994.
The second part of our name
Alam-e-Niswan (Arabic-Farsi phrase) means women’s
world and shows our commitment to remain constantly
engaged in dialogue with women globally and
not to remain restricted either by political
disputes or by geographical boundaries. Over
the years, Pakistan Journal of Women’s
Studies has not only remained committed to its
goal of generating and disseminating interdisciplinary
scholarship but it has also participated in
global conversations and has made alliances
with similar journals world-wide. Pakistan Journal
of Women’s Studies, along with other journals,
is the founding member of The
Feminist Knowledge Network (FKN).
