Women Parliamentarians of Pakistan
The Second Phase - 1962 Constitution
The second Constitution, proclaimed in 1962 provided for a National Assembly, consisting of 156 indirectly elected
Members, including 6 seats for women — 3 each for both wings of the State. These were:

However, none of them was ever given any ministerial position or appointed as Parliamentary Secretaries.
The trend of restricting women to mere reserved seats and to no other parliamentary or governmental position was
continued in the next Assembly in 1965, created under this Constitution. The six women in the new Assembly were:
