Abstract
Migration is the phenomenon that is widely recognized and practiced for various reasons. The migration of the head of the family in pursuit of work often gives rise to problems in the family. The stress and strain that resulted from the husband's absence cause many women to become ill or to leave their homes. Families in Pakistan are experiencing this phenomenon which is caused by the absence of male members of the adult figures. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by left behind women. For this purpose the Qualitative Method was adopted to get in-depth insights and broader views of the topic. Semi-structured interviews also were taken. The data was gathered through Purposive sampling techniques from the metropolitan areas of Quetta City. This study explores that left behind women and families face numbers of challenges at different levels. They face loneliness, overwork, insecurity, sadness, stress; innumerable frustrations in social issues. Government should provide more technical job opportunities to the people to stop this chain of migration.
