Sami Devi , a Hindu woman from Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab said “ ActionAid has helped us speak out. We Hindu women face multiple problems and discriminations. We work on the feudal’s land who takes away a major share of the crops. Sometimes our children don’t have enough to eat. What are we working for if our children have to sleep hungry? HungerFREE women campaign has been a ray of hope, we women have, for the first time, learnt that we too have a right to own land and control resources. Government officials in our district have promised to take corrective measures and ensure that growers get their fair share of the crops. We are determined to hold them accountable and get them to deliver on their pledges.”
