Mehnat Song

[Victorio Galindo]

Thesong penned by Shakeel Sohail addresses all workers to recognise their worth and to fight for their rights and goes on to state that demeaning attitudes and harassment by employers and owners is unacceptable:

Speaking to Dawn.com about the various angles of the song, singer/satirist Ali Aftab Saeed who is the production head for the initiative said: There is no doubt that the labour class is the most oppressed and we need to raise our voice for them but we also need to realise that although we might look a bit dignified, blue-collar jobs are also at the end of the day like the labour class."

Pointing out the plight of working women, Ali lamented that women have to face twice the trouble compared to men: Women have to put in double the effort of what men here do. They not only have to struggle for the basic working rights but also have to fight their way through sexual harassment as well as different perils set up by society."

"We have also given room to domestic workers because although we employ them for our daily chores, we forget to treat them as equals and easily usurp their rights as well. They are exploited everywhere and are forced to stay silent because of their position in society," he added.
