Ayesha Nawaz
(Overlock Stitcher)

"I was born in Makkuana, a small village outside Faisalabad. I dreamed of a life that was very different, where I could finish my education and become a doctor. Despite me being a top student in my class, everything changed when I turned 15 and was married to a man with few means. My dreams of becoming a doctor ended and for the last 10 years, I’ve been working in a garments factory instead. Life didn't turn out to be the way I wanted it to be however I am proud to be an equal bread-winning partner with my husband and to know that my hard work allows my daughters to go to school and pursue their dreams makes me smile with joy. I work all day, stitching & finishing hoodies, tee shirts & polo shirts. Making sure they are perfect for you."
