In the last 5 years, 814 people in Pakistan were electrocuted to death from bad electric wiring. In culturally conservative households, where male electricians can’t enter homes without a male present, an all-female electrician team has been a missing workforce. Bakhtawar is a Roshni Baji, a 100-women team that has served more than 140,000 homes. Roshni Baji Program has helped women in Pakistan join the workforce by providing training to become certified female electricians. ‘It gets difficult out in the fields, but this should not stop us. Ladies listen to us and support us. I am proud that I am spreading awareness in people’s lives.”
