00:00I joined the field because I always wanted to be a part of the force.
00:11I always wanted to be a part of the uniformed force, so I applied.
00:16I am grateful to be a part of the Sindh Emergency Rescue as a DR.
00:30In this incident, a lot of people were looking at us with strange eyes and were taunting us.
00:39But we have been taught since the beginning, even in training, that you just have to focus on your work.
00:45You don't have to pay attention to what people are saying.
00:48You just have to focus on your work and keep moving forward.
00:52Because of the fire, there is a lot of dust, smoke, and skin issues.
01:02Sometimes, my family tells me to leave the field.
01:07But I am confident that I can do it.
01:10Because in any field, there are no girls behind.
01:14So I don't want to step back from anyone.
01:22The number of operational women is 80.
01:45Inshallah, in the future, about 180 women will go for training.
01:50Inshallah, you will see that the role of women in this service will be further defined.
02:01There are a lot of emergency reports in which women are often trapped.
02:05So work was being done before, but because women are more comfortable with women, they can talk to them.
02:14If there is a medical injury, they want to talk to women instead of male paramedics.
