Stories of abuse and survival have been widely covered by gawahi.com. Their narratives also include the ill-treatment faced by minorities and women in Pakistan.

This is a video of a textile factory worker who feels helpless after not receiving a month’s salary. This is an outcry for human rights in Pakistan where there is little being done to protect the rights of workers: they have no job security and no accountability when it comes to compensation. Feeble and powerless, Noor ul Islam expresses his discontentment at being shot by his boss’s guards and sold out union leaders.

Video Rating: Thumbs up for taking a stand against abuse
