An interactive theatrical event was held last week to highlight ongoing discrimination against sanitary workers in the country. The event, organized by the Major Religious Superiors Leadership Conference of Pakistan, was held at the Bait-el Church compound and was attended by about 80 people. Javed Yousuf, a sanitary worker who attended, said the performances fairly depicted the kinds of discrimination he and his fellow workers face. “Payments are never on time. I even have to buy my own uniforms, brooms and buckets although the government has allocated funds for that,” he said.

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
