Inside Karachi’s women’s jail: Mothers raising children behind bars

In this video, Nukta’s Senior Correspondent Ahmer Rehman Khan takes us inside Karachi’s Women Central Jail, shedding light on the often-overlooked lives of the women behind these bars.

This video highlights the struggle of incarcerated mothers who raise their children facing daily struggles with resilience and hope.

This emotional journey sheds light on the lives of nearly 18 children under the age of 7 living within the prison walls, including a mother who gave birth while serving time for murder.

We also learn about the jail’s beauty parlor, run by a convicted woman who has turned her life sentence into an opportunity, and the stitching department, where inmates learn valuable skills for a future beyond confinement. A rare and moving glimpse into survival, redemption, and second chances.
