Ms Jamila Begum – The CAP Podcast #144

Ms. Jamila Begum was born in the 1940’s in Multan. In this podcast, she reflects on her life and beautifully captures the effort, both physical and emotional, that a woman puts in her family throughout her life. She believes that while her duties are endless and her contributions vital to the smooth functioning of the household, a housewife’s efforts go markedly unacknowledged and under appreciated by those around her.

Unclear about her specific date of birth, she terms May 1st, Labour Day, to be her birth date. She terms it an accurate occasion to celebrate her birthday where the world comes together to honor the selfless contributions of individuals who spend their lives ensuring the well-being of others.
