it is
estimated that well over one million men, women, and children are trapped in
this modern feudalist system. Meet Syeda Ghulam Fatima. Described as a modern
day Harriet Tubman, Fatima has devoted her life to ending bonded labor. She has
been shot, electrocuted, and beaten numerous times for her activism. Quite
literally, she places herself between the workers and their owners. The
organization she leads, the Bonded Labour Liberation Front, is small but
determined. It is working to set up Freedom Centers throughout rural Pakistan
so that every bonded laborer has access to advocacy and legal aid. Fatima
operates on a very small budget. So as we learn her story over the next few
days, anyone wishing to help empower Fatima can donate to Bonded Labour Liberation.
