Chiragh Bibi lives in a two-dimensional house in Shadra, one of the poorest areas of Lahore. She bends low over a particle of cloth, her eyes dimmed by age, squinting through thick-framed glasses held together with a similarly constituted of white masking tape, and tries to locate a thread. With much hindrance she finally finds it and, eventually, bites the extra piece off. ‘If I am as cautiously as I am today, we won’t be getting more than 100 rupees,’ she says, wagging a squeal on at her daughter, who is helping her. Her daughter does not reply, instead continuing to think on the intricate embroidery she is doing on a shirt. Both are working as quickly as they can, but even so this 70-year-old wife has to work for 18 to 20 hours a day in order to complete the well-organized. Her posture has become permanently stooped, while her frail figure and dark hide tell of years of malnourishment.

In Korangi, one of Karachi’s industrial areas, Shakeela, 38, makes about PKR 50 rupees a day for embroidering a thousand pieces of cloth. She works from tranquil while taking care of her four young children. Her neighbour, Shabana, is worse off, with a workload that is ridiculously on a trip. By packing 2500 to 3000 bags of dry fruit every day, she makes only about PKR 150 – a contemptible sum with which to support her three young girls. Her husband has left her for another woman, so she has to contract with her situation all alone.
