Working Women (TV series)

Working Women is a Pakistani television series directed by Yasra Rizvi and written by Bee Gul.

Nusrat, a successful real estate agent, converts her home into a girls' hostel, providing shelter to a diverse group of women.

These include Aasha, a young mute runaway; Amber, a journalist fleeing her stepfather's home due to her relationship with her boyfriend; Sadia, an aspiring model from Gujranwala; Rossie, a nurse; and Hashmat, a factory supervisor from the tribal areas.

Aasha escapes, but TT remains silent, protecting her, and is brutally injured by the feudal lord's goons in retaliation.

Shafi, the feudal lord's educated son, intervenes and resolves the dispute, allowing Aasha to decide her own whereabouts.

Over time, TT persistently pressures Aasha to convert to her religion, but eventually, he abandons his efforts and leaves the hostel, supposedly to travel to Dubai.

Rossie is exploited by her boyfriend Kashi, who lives abroad, as he manipulates her into enduring harassment from senior doctors to extract benefits from them.

Rossie regularly faces such exploitation, as doctors summon nurses to their offices and coerce them into staying with them during night duties.

She starts performing her job honestly and now declines to enter the doctors' rooms when called, breaking free from the cycle of exploitation.
