Zahida Kazmi, 57, a widow and mother of seven children, drives a taxi in Rawalpindi.

Kazmi, who has been making a living as a taxi driver for the past 37 years, single-handedly brought up her children after her first and second husbands passed away.

Today, all her older children are married and she lives with her youngest, 13-year-old daughter. She continues to drive some 10 hours a day and earns about Rs1,000-1,500. Kazmi describes her job as “an adventure in a male-dominated world”, but a necessity to feed herself and her children.
