00:09.320 --> 00:13.480
We even went to Islamabad and the Parliament house to do sit-ins

00:13.480 --> 00:20.520
We went to the Supreme Court to ask for our rights.
We appealed to be regularized, and to have our salaries regularized.

00:20.520 --> 00:27.360
Khushnood Akhtar Lashari [Health Ministry] and Nargis Sethi [Health Secretary] as well as the Federal Government in general are guaranteeing

00:27.360 --> 00:34.120
That your due money will be immediately released!

00:35.400 --> 00:39.840
We are very proud of our union and we have won many victories.

00:39.840 --> 00:43.720
But there is still some work left to do!

00:43.720 --> 00:51.720
We are still overburdened with work, we are underpaid, and the
government isn't hiring more Lady Health Workers.

00:51.720 --> 00:56.840
Currently we are demanding an increase in salaries, a regular pension

00:56.840 --> 01:00.480
and also for more workers to be hired.

01:00.480 --> 01:04.040
This is the just compensation for the essential work we do.

01:04.040 --> 01:10.920
Because of the union we have gained respect in society as well as our rights.

01:10.920 --> 01:17.600
Who could have thought that when I was 25 years old I was picking cotton in the fields

01:17.600 --> 01:24.120
But today I am a Lady Health Worker and I am fighting for my rights and the rights of my peers.
