Abstract
This paper attempts to explore the barriers faced by the blind females regarding their access to employment opportunities. There has been given the description of the hurdles which the blind females come across in the province of Punjab while searching and doing some job. In this regard the issues like gender gap, limited job opportunities, negative attitude, lack of gender and disability sensitivity among the employers, lack of transport and residential facilities, sexual harassment at job place, etc are indispensable to mention. For said purpose a sample of forty blind females, age ranging from 20-50 years with a mean age of 30 years was collected from the different parts of Punjab by using purposive and snow ball sampling techniques. While in-depth interviews were conducted in 2024 and extracts from these case studies have been mentioned in this paper to substantialize the argument.
