Karachi, May 15, 2022 (PPI-OT):A large number of textile and garment workers here Sunday staged a protest demo outside the Karachi Press Club (KPC) against sackings of workers and anti-labour policies. As per details, National Trade Union Federation (NTUF) organized the protest demo that was attended by various labour unions and organisations, as well as, the affected workers to condemn the forced retrenchment of workers from textile and garment factories and overall anti-labour policies and growing lawlessness.

Addressing the demo, NTUF general secretary Nasir Mansoor said that the atrocities being meted out to the workers of textile and garment sector, anti-human behaviour to them and growing lawlessness is creating a violent resistance movement. He said the textile and garment sector plays the role of backbone in national economy and is a major source for earning precious foreign exchange.

He said that hundreds of thousands of workers of this sector are made salaried slaves. He said that these workers are deprived of their right to make their trade unions. He said that the capitalists are not willing to pay them government-announced minimum wages. He said there are no facilities of health and pension for these workers. He said that 90 percent of workers in this sector are being exploited through anti-human and illegal contract labour system.

He said that workers are being retrenched without any reason. The worst example of this atrocity is the workers of International Textile Limited situated in Korangi. This factory makes products for various brands and entities of North America and European Union. This factory has sacked many workers without any reason and the Labour Department has failed to dole out justice to the affected workers. He said that international brands were also appealed to help in restoration of the sacked workers but sadly they also failed to get these workers restored. He said the inhuman attitude being meted out to the workers would not be tolerated for long. He said that if the workers are not given their rights in a legal way they would be compelled to snatch them with force.

Addressing the demo, general secretary of Home Based Women Workers Federation (HBWWF) Zehra Khan said that with the cheap labour of workers the local factory and the international brands are earning huge profits. She said that this factory makes products for international brands including S and M, Marriott and Accor. In 2021 there annual profit was 41.6 Pounds, 2.045 billion dollars and 22 million Euros, respectively, but the workers making these brands are deprived of their basic rights, i.e., wages and employment. She said women workers are not paid equal wages and they also face harassment.

Owais Jatoi, a labour leader and sacked worker of International Textile Limited told that factories are made virtually prisons for workers. He said that workers are meted out the treatment of slaves. He said that female workers face sexual harassment. He said that retired personnel of security agencies are employed in factories to create fear amongst workers. He said that the workers who raise voice for their rights are disdained through security agencies, unions and mafias.

At the end of the demo, the protesters demanded that all sacked workers, especially those belonging to International Textile Limited Korangi, should be reinstated. Forced overtime in factories, especially in International Textile Limited should be stopped. Work should not be taken on government-announced holidays. Overtime should be paid as per law. Difference in wages on the basis of gender should be stopped. Solid action should be taken on harassment and violent behaviour with women workers. Contact labour system in textile and garment sector should be abolished. All workers should be issued appointment letters. Wages should be paid to workers through banks. All workers should be registered with the institutions of social security and pension.

Those spoke included Riaz Abbasi from National Trade Union Federation, Saira Feroz from United HB Garment workers union, Qazi Khizer of HRCP, Aqib Hussain from youth group Alternate, comrade Wahid Baloch, Anny and Parveen Bano of HBWWF etc.

Karachi, March 08, 2022 (PPI-OT):Despite all oppression, woman is rising as a symbol of resistance. She is not only fighting for her own freedom but also for economic and political freedom of the oppressed classes of society. Now it is the aim of the women’s movement to uproot every anti-women law and tradition. This is why the freedom of society is linked to the freedom of woman. These views were expressed by women worker leaders addressing a huge rally arranged here by Home-based Women Workers Federation (HBWWF) on the occasion of the international women’s day here Tuesday.

A large number of worker women, female students and social activists attended the rally led by Comrade Zehra Khan. Carrying red flags, poster and banners, they chanted the slogan of “Peace, Bread and Equality”. The rally started from the Fuwara Chowk and ended at the Arts Council. Later, women workers presented their cultural show in the Arts Council.

Addressing the rally, HBWWF general secretary Zehra Khan said that violence against women has raised to an alarming level. Women are not safe in homes, streets, neighbourhoods, factories, offices and educational institutions.

She said as per an estimate more than 70 percent of women face domestic violence. Regarding violent actions against women, especially murders, Pakistan is the third most dangerous country of the world. Every fifth woman murdered under so-called honour killing belongs to Pakistan.

She further said that in educational institutions of Pakistan, the incidents of harassment and violence against female students and women employees have grew sharply. However, the cases of murders and suspicious suicides are being also reported, continuously. Besides women, children and transgender are also facing sexual violence.

The labour leaders said that hundreds of thousands of women working in farms are forced to toil in slavery like conditions in this twenty first century. They are compelled to forced work without any wages. Their families are sold like slaves. Non-Muslim girls belonging to working class are living in fear. They are subject to forced conversions and forced marriages. As per an estimate every year about 1000 Hindu and Christian girls are subjected to forced conversions and forced marriages in the country. Pakistan is the sixth most dangerous country of the world regarding workplace harassment, honour killings, forced marriages and anti-women laws.

Nuzhat Shireen, Sindh Commission on Status of Women said that in this region the women are the most affected section of society due to wars and terrorism in the name of religion. Millions of women and children are forced to migrate and live-in miserable conditions. Similarly, disappearance of political and social workers is also affecting the women mentally and economically and they are strongly protesting against these cruelties.

Saeeda Khatoon, Ali Enterprise Factory Fire Affecttees Association said that sadly Pakistan has become a country where women are facing social, political and economic exploitation. Regarding the gender-based discrimination Pakistan ranks the second in whole world.

About one Crore and 22 Lakh girls are out of school. Forty percent population of the country is illiterate, mostly the women. As compared to men, women work ten times more on household chores and taking care of children and elderly people. They said that health and safety are a big no-no to women. As per a report in South Asia more than 1 million new-borns die every year, while regarding the death of pregnant women this region ranks the second in whole region.

Saira Feroz, United Home Based Garment Workers Union said the women face the worst economic exploitation. Rising inflation and poverty hit women hard. In Pakistan 39.2 percent of population is forced to live beneath the poverty line and more than fifty percent of them are women. A large number of women work in informal sector, whose wages are very low. They get 34 percent less wages as compared to male workers, which is double than the average wage difference in the world. If this disparity continued it would take next 136 years to end this difference.

Kami Sid, Transgender Activist said prices of edibles have risen by more than 20 percent. The rates of medicines have risen by 200 percent. The number of homeless person is more than 20 million, while the numbers of the poor people have increased by 20 million in last three years.

In these circumstances, it could be said that the law enforcement agencies have failed to defend the rights of women. The political parties have no solid strategy on their agendas to resolve the problems being faced by the people. In these conditions, the movement of women workers in collaboration with the other oppressed classes of the country could bring a social, political and economic change in the country. The women could get a real freedom and social justice by bringing a revolutionary change in the country and uprooting feudal and capitalistic system.

The worker women rally and their cultural program demanded:

1. Equal wages for equal work.

2. Rise in wages as proportionate to inflation.

3. Ending gender-based disparity in wages.

4. All workers including the home-based workers should be registered with social security and pension institutions.

5. Pre and post maternity leaves should be increased. Women workers during childbirth may be given fully paid leaves as per law.

6. Women workers should be protected against workplace harassment and as per law vigilance committees against harassment should be formed in all institutions.

7. At workplaces where women workers are in majority, child care centers must be established.

8. There should be maximum eight hours a day work. Forcing labours to work on weekly holidays should be stopped.

9. All discriminatory laws against women should be abolished.

10. Tribal and feudal laws that have kept the women in slavery for centuries should be ended.

11. Sexual violence, kidnapping and forced conversion of Hindu Hari women should be stopped.

12. Women should be given representation in all elected assemblies as per their share in population.

Karachi, March 02, 2022 (PPI-OT):Women workers in Pakistan are facing immense problem on social, economic and political fronts. They are not getting equal wages for equal work. Their demand is peace, bread and equality, said workers leaders at a press conference here at Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Wednesday in connection with their Mehnatkash Aurat Rally of March 8.

General Secretary Home-based Women Workers Federation (HBWWF) Zehra Akbar Khan said the question of gender and economic emancipation of woman is the question that is directly related to the independence of society. If woman is demanding gender equality and economic freedom, she is in fact demanding to free the society. If the half of the population faces the worst social, political economic, cultural and gender-based discrimination, then the degradation and fall of the society is inevitable. Prevailing animosity towards woman and attitudes aimed at to disgrace her and the resultant mentality and laws are deep-rooted in tribal, feudal and capitalistic mode of production and the patriarchal mentality is also one of their dreadful manifestations.

She said in this background, we can see that the national laws, faith-based ideologies or so-called social norms are bent to prove that woman is a lesser creature as compared to man. A long history of thousands of years from the slavery era to ongoing modern period of capitalism has presented this anti-women nonsense and myths as undeniable facts. Resultantly, a major part of our society has unconsciously and consciously accepted woman as a slave, a personal property and possession and a second-class citizen and already decided that this status of woman in unchangeable. This is why the society, generally – vocally or silently -supports those quarters who come with the reasons and rationale to justify this inhuman attitude being meted out to woman.

Any step taken by woman for her economic, political and social freedom virtually makesher a criminal. When she leaves home for work or education, she is criticized for even her dress code, said Zehra Khan.

Zainab Nasir, Youth Leader of Alternate, regretted that not only the reactionaries, but also the so-called intellectuals, some anti-women TV anchors, elected members of assemblies, advisors, ministers and even the Prime Minister are included in those who declare the rising voice and resistance of women against inequality, disrespect, sexual torture, excesses and economic exploitation as unethical, immoral and against the settled social norms.

Karamat Ali, Convenor National Labour Council said in this backdrop, when poverty, deprivation, diseases, joblessness, homelessness and environmental changes are hitting hard the society, the worst affectees are women and children belonging to the working class. In this economic crisis, women are rapidly becoming a part of the production process as hired slaves, where they are deprived of all their basic rights. A cruel economic system is formed, in whose major part women are working as unpaid slaves. Besides economic exploitation, not only violence against women, children and transgenders has risen sharply, but there is also an unending storm of negative and disgracing propaganda against them. Every woman and every women’s movement are labelled as immoral when they start an organized struggle against centuries-long atrocities against women with a demand to accept woman as a human being, and give her due respect as a person, besides respecting her economic and social equality.

Ruksana, member All Lady Health Workers Employee Union said that the first decisive war against this centuries-long disgraceful slavery of woman began in 1820 in America when women workers belonging to textile industry revolted, which is now known as March 8, the symbol of a shining struggle of women of whole world, especially the working women. As the great revolutionary Baghat Singh with the echoes of his bomb attacks had compelled the deaf and dumb rulers of the British colonial system to hear the demand of freedom, the emerging movement of women with its slogans and demands has challenged the illiteracy, reactionary mentality, lack of awareness and socioeconomic injustice prevailing in our society and thus rattled the exploiter forces. This challenge of women is against the tribal, feudal and capitalistic systems and their anti-women mentality and patriarchal values.

Shakeela Khan, President Home Based Women Bangle Workers Union Hyderabad said that the movement of women is a struggle for bringing a gender justice and socioeconomic freedom in society and to end the tendencies of violence. This struggle is against anti-peace forces, social taboos, anti-environmental projects and growing homelessness. It is also against the unbridled price hike in the country. It is against the high rates of flour, pluses, cooking oil, sugar, rice and vegetables that have gone beyond the reach of common man. It is also against skyrocketing rise in rates of petrol, electricity, gas and school fees. Millions of working women, on the footsteps of the textile women workers would fight for their rights till their final victory.

Sabhagi Bheel, Leader of Hari Workers Said that agriculture workers especially women workers worse effected by the feudal exploitation, they were deprived off all social and economical rights.

Zehra Khan said that this year the women workers have decided to stage a huge ‘woman worker rally’ under the slogan of ‘Peace, Bread and Equality’ on March 8, as per the real spirit and ideology of this great day. This rally would march from Fuwara Chowk to the Arts Council at 3:00 pm. A cultural program would be held at the end of the rally. Besides thousands of women workers, Haris and women home-based workers, a large number of female students, transgenders and other workers would attend the rally.

The speakers demanded:

1. Equal wages for equal work.

2. Wages should be increased in proportion to the price hike.

3. Difference in wages on the basis of gender should be done away with.

4. All workers including home-based workers and Haris should be registered with social security and pension institutions.

5. Maternity leaves should be increased and as per labour laws, women workers during the maternity period should be given fully-paid leaves.

6. Women should be given protection at workplaces and vigilance committees should be formed as per law in all institutions.

7. At workplaces where majority of workers is women, opening child care centers should be made mandatory.

8. Maximum working hours should be eight hours a day. Forcing workers to work on weekly holidays should be stopped.

9. All discriminatory laws against women should be abolished.

10. The tribal and feudal systems that have enslaved the women for centuries should be annulled.

11. Kidnapping, sexual torture and forced conversion of Hindi Hari women should be stopped.

12. Women should be given representation in all elected houses as per their share in population.

13. Demolition of old settlements including those belonging to labours in the name of development should be stopped. People must not be made homeless.

14. Violence against women, children, minorities and transgenders should be declared as crime.

15. Sindh Government should enact legislation for transgender and protect their rights.

16. lady health workers should be given their scale and should be registered under pension scheme.

Karachi, February 07, 2022 (PPI-OT):Labour leaders in a joint statement here Saturday said that closure of gas to industry is virtually a suicide attack on production process and the jobs and livelihood of workers, demanding of the federal government to ensure unintended supply of gas to industry.

National Labour Council convener Karamat Ali, National Trade Unions Federation (NTUF) general secretary Nasir Mansoor, People’s Labour Bureau (PLB) Sindh president Habibuddin Junaidi, Home-based Women Workers Federation (HBWWF) general secretary Comrade Zahra Akbar Khan, SITE Labour Forum secretary Riaz Abbasi and Workers Rights Movement leader Comrade Gul Rehman in a joint statement said that when the country is passing through a critical phase and more than then million workers have already been rendered fully or partially jobless, depriving the country, especially its industrial hub Karachi, of gas supply is causing a massive joblessness.

They said that on one hand the federal government is making false claims on so-called industrial and economic growth, and on the other hand it is working on its agenda of anti- production and anti-labour steps to jam the wheel of industrial production. They said that Karachi which is the center of industrial production and export of industrial sector is virtually in an ICU due to non-availability of gas to industry.

They said that many industrial units especially those belonging to textile and garments are compelled to use oil and gas as an alternate of gas that is sharply increasing their production cost. Due to this factor, these industrial units are curtailing and limiting their production, resulting in a huge retrenchment of workers.

The labour leaders said that it is more worrisome that the federal government is not giving the provinces their due share of gas and other resources. They said that injustice in the distribution of natural resources is not only a violation of the constitution but also an attack on the very foundations of the federation, whose one example is not giving the gas produced from Sindh to the industry of the Sindh province.

They said that the half of the national exports and resultant earing of foreign exchange reserves is linked to the industrial production process of Karachi and the suspension of gas supply to industrial sector of the port city is affecting this process and creating a dangerous crisis that would give birth to reduction in foreign exchange, increase in joblessness and deepening of the ongoing socioeconomic turmoil.

They warned the federal government and industrialists that this crisis is increasing unrest amongst the workers and if it was not immediately addressed the labour organisations would launch a strong protest. They demanded that a proper supply of gas to industry should be ensured at all costs.

All citizens should be considered equal citizens irrespective of their faith, caste and creed. Inhuman treatment being meted out to religious minorities should be ended. All policies and projects that are danger to environment and threat to life on earth should be done away with. Solid steps should be taken to end the arms race in this region.
