Pakistan\u2019s female vaccinators are doing more than helping end a disease.<\/em><\/p>\n

Women make up two-thirds of Pakistan\u2019s polio workforce. It\u2019s a startling statistic for a nation that ranks 145th out of 146 countries for gender parity in economic participation and opportunity, according to a World Economic Forum gender inequality index.<\/p>\n

The role of female vaccinators is born of necessity. Because of cultural norms, men are not allowed into many people\u2019s homes in Pakistan. Women who provide the health care are the key link. They can build mom-to-mom relationships and provide trusted advice on not only polio but other health issues. \u201cWomen working with women on the front line is going to be what gets us across the finish line,\u201d says Rotary President Jennifer Jones, who met last year with polio workers in Pakistan. The country and Afghanistan are the only two where wild poliovirus is still transmitted persistently. The female vaccinators\u2019 work is neither safe nor easy. The women in Pakistan are sworn at, shoved, beaten, and some even killed. They\u2019re fighting misinformation. But their work is crucial \u2014 and not just for the cause of polio eradication.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are supporting their education, they\u2019re supporting their household, they\u2019re supporting their men and giving a change in Pakistan,\u201d says Sadia Shakeel, coordinator for a Rotary-supported polio resource center in Karachi. \u201cThis is bigger than polio.\u201d Shakeel calls them \u201clittle entrepreneurs.\u201d Most of the women range in age from 21-38 and have their own children, she says. Yet they wake to say prayers before dawn, feed their children breakfast, and leave to start their work to end a disease.<\/p>\n

Employing women is one key strategy of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. And that\u2019s not just to deliver the vaccines at the front line; it\u2019s also to hire women as supervisors, doctors, and decisionmakers. \u201cWe cannot succeed without the women we have in the program at all levels,\u201d says Hamid Jafari, a pediatric infectious disease doctor and director of polio eradication for the World Health Organization\u2019s Eastern Mediterranean region.<\/p>\n
