Tribal Girls Life,compared to other educated Pukhtoon Girls

The Life of tribal girls is not much different from Pukhtoon Girls elsewhere.But compared to Girls and ladies In Khyberpukhtoonkhwa and Afghan cities the tribal and FATA Girls have more difficulties to face if they want to become equally educated because there is a problem with infrastructure of educational institutions. If an institute is available at all there is shortage of teaching staff and facilities. The reason for non availability of teaching staff is the scarcity of local educated girls and ladies from other settled district of khyber Pukhtoonkhwa dont willingly join the female schools and colleges because of bad security situation and accessibility problems.
There still are some areas in FATA where there are sociocultural hurdles for female education.
The health issues of tribal Ladies are also not satisfactory, lady doctors from other areas of Pakistan dont want to perform their duties in FATA. Even Pukhtoon lady doctors, whose culture and language are just similar to FATA women dont easily accept Jobs in FATA. As a result of non availability of qualified doctors, semi qualified and non qualified LHVs, LHWs and quacks provide health care facilities to the women of FATA. Some times this practice endanger the life of Tribal women, specially pregnant women, if there is any serious complication with their pregnancy

Music of FATA,

FATA Being a part of Pushtoon Society shares the taste of Pushto Music. Pushto Music has its own colour, though it has touches of Arabic, Persian and Indian music. There is little difference among various parts of FATA. The south two agencies, i.e North and South Waziristan have a bit different taste of music compared to other parts. Here in these two agencies the liking of a big drum called DOLE or Typically Dell is more liked by the people as it helps the audience gain more rythm and similiarity in their Atan. In other parts i.e. North and central FATA Rabab(a string instrument resembling Guittar but with more strings and better manuers)is a necessary part of musical performances. Harmonium, Drum, Sorna (Shehnai) are other instruments. Basically the pushto music has been a mixture of indian Classical and Arabic music, Now even the folk music is getting colours of rock and other westren music. Actually when the regional music gets mixed with other musics it becomes more attractive. Jenifer lopez mellinium Song is an example, where one can feels even the pushtu music in an english song.
There are both male and female singers for folk. Unfortunately videos of female pushto/Tribal folk singers are not freely available as the society does not allow for making their videos but we are trying to get some audio or videos of the female folk singers of FATA
