KARACHI: Amina Sohail weaves through congested traffic to pick up her next customer. In Karachi, a bustling metropolis, seeing a woman on a motorcycle attracts attention.
The 28-year-old is the first woman in her family to join the employment, a trend that is beginning to emerge in Pakistani urban households that are facing mounting financial strain.
“I don’t focus on people, I don’t speak to anyone or respond to the hooting, I just do my work,” Sohail, who began driving women through the dusty back alleyways of the city at the beginning of the year, said.
“Before, we would be hungry, now we get to eat at least two to three meals a day,” she continued.
