    This year will mark the two-year anniversary of the deadly blaze in Baldia Town which killed over 200 factory workers.

Obaid ur Rehman, the President of a union of a five star hotel in Karachi, is among 150 workers defending themselves from low wages.

    Enabling the 10%

    We gain insight into the difficulties faced by physically disabled individuals in Pakistan and explore the current state of our resources and infrastructure available to those who are physically challenged. We meet an extraordinary group of individuals who have defied the odds and grown to achieve incredible feats such as ArshadAbbasi who is the first blind man to pass the CSS exams in Pakistan. We also speak with activists who are not only working to increase awareness about disabilities, but are also lending their support to less-abled individuals in order to help them achieve their full potential.
