October - 2001 (Lahore)


Written by: Shahid Nadeem

A play on Economic and Social empowerment of women. The play focuses on those working women who take up hard and laborious jobs and contribute financially to support their families. Despite of the fact that these women earn and work endlessly both inside and outside their male counterparts and are not allowed to participate in the decisions of their family matters. They are given the freedom to earn money but the freedom to spend their money is only the prerogative of the male members of their households. Women are not allowed to take part in any social or recreational activity. Chal Melay Noo Chaliay is a story of women in a smilar situation who are left with no choice but to stand against the domination of men who refuses them permission to attend the village fair.
