Join CPL for a live Zoom conversation with Syeda Ghulam Fatima Gilani,
General Secretary of Bonded Labour Liberation Front Pakistan, a prominent labor
activist freeing bonded laborers in Pakistan. As a continuation of her
appearance at CPL in December 2022, Ms. Gilani will elaborate on her unique
experience achieving social change through labor movement building, and will
discuss her work to free bonded and forced laborers while contending with
climate disasters, economic instability, and other widespread challenges.
