Representing textile sector from Punjab, the above facts are very close to exact depiction of female work force, even in bed linen export oriented factories they have the same problem. Women right were recognized for the first time in Benazir Bhutto's first tenure and a lot of awareness was made even in Musharaf's regime but still a lot has to be done, they are half of our population and we got to give them respect, equal employment chances and above all encourage them for higher studies so that they could become part of our prosperity and growth in all sectors apart from Textiles.

Most of the women workers find this textile job as very respectable job while most of their husbands are drunkards and are a pain their neck Hi,
