Karachi’s Women Petrol Attendants Creating a Statement

Tania, Ester and a few other women are making a bit of history along with some controversy as well. With a job title of “sales promoters,” the women are first of their sex to pump gas in Pakistan. Ayesha Malik was born into a rich family but instead of a silver spoon in her mouth, she had a gas nozzle. The women have been working for over six months and to tell the truth, it was not smooth sailing for them at the beginning. Tania recalled her experiences. But we took care of that. “The first ones were given a sound thrashing by the security guards and the word spread. No more serious flirts and no more serious problems.”
