PAKISTAN’S PROUD:-

Success? And women? I mostly found frowns on many foreheads, when it comes to the title of ‘SUCCESSFUL WOMAN”, because the comparison between sex determinations are highly applicable than this, but this factor don’t stop someone from dreaming, there are many things, that one girl go through, she needs to see the surroundings, care about family decision, bows down the head on the parent’s choice, she needs to look after cold and hot situations, thick and thin feels, hard and rough thoughts, and all the happenings around, when we talk about PAKISTAN, the people of Pakistan, found to be the most religious and traditional, somewhere I may not deny from it that our religion is wonderful and it compares women to the pearl inside the shell, a rose that can’t be touched by everyone, life of a women in ISLAM is simple and respectful, but ISLAM doesn’t have any statement that women can’t work, can’t dream, can not be passionate about their goals and aims, she can be the most fierce and the most reliable, but she needs to hide herself, her beauty, and cover herself with hijab that’s what our ISLAM said, there’s no comparison between men and women, men are always superior, and I personally recommend women to not match their status to men, because women’s status is something that can’t be defined, it’s precious, like women is, anyhow some of the women, after such struggle, made us proud, made PAKISTAN proud, made our ISLAM proud, AND I LOVE TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE BEAUTIES WHO INSPIRED ME, TO NOT GIVE UP ON DREAMS.

Ayesha Farooq

PAKISTAN’S first female fighter pilot, a woman with high potential and courage, it’s not easy to deal with a woman like her, a woman you can’t mess up with, or you better know what will be the revenge she plants, you can’t sway with her military attire and olive green HIJAB, with sophisticate eases, even though she works in such a testosterone-fuelled profession.

Ayesha has been involved in purging Waziristan off Taliban strongholds and is thus a hero in her own right for risking her life for the security and safety of Pakistan. She still maintains close links with her faith and culture yet is breaking taboos and cultural norms by chasing this profession.

Muniba Mazari

I first saw Muniba on her show, and then on instagram, I found her the most beautiful lady, the very first thought captured in my mind, ‘ damn! What a inspiring lady she is’, and her summarised smile and positive energy which would often pale her wheelchair into insignificance. We live in a society where being disabled is kind of curse, we don’t want to understand how much they’re already bearing the pain, and we as a society do only the one thing sometimes, ignore when other laughs, and sometimes we laugh with them, throughout all this hardships MUNIBA stood up for her determination, and what a stand she took even not on her legs but on ‘what’ she believe she can, she totally changed the scenario of being disabled, she is not only an artist but she is a wonderful entrepreneur, and she is spreading electrical sparkles to the darkest areas of Pakistan, and motivating those people who belongs to darkest past, what a graceful lady I saw ever in my life. She embrace beauty in herself, She became a paraplegic following a tragic road traffic accident but instead of wallowing in perpetual grief, she showcases her paintings on her blog, Muniba’s Canvas and stands tall. She also visited the survivors of the APS tragedy in various hospitals and is a strong advocate of children’s rights and education. I am expecting greater accolades from Muniba in the years to come and wish her success in her endeavours.

Shazia Parveen:-

Shazia Parveen, she is 25 years old, and belongs to the village, a woman with holds of breakdowns, a woman who knows how to regrow plant as she saw since her childhood that particular thing, she stated these words after she has become a first firefighter woman. “I wanted to serve the people, No woman had done it before and I wanted to prove it could be done.” she also stated that, those with whom she work in firefighter association, they all have been supporting and while she was having society’s critics, and those hard circumstances, hardships, those unwanted words, and those knife nib attacking sarcasms, constantly, she doesn’t care about that, she doesn’t give a damn to them and this is what became her strength and her family was also there to give a back, and, as we are living in a society where education of woman is still contempt and very restricted, here marriage of women is one of the most important factor, no matter it will survive or not but the only thought that runs in veins is marriage of a girl, not denying that it’s something that is not necessary but if one is capable to make a change for her own life, then let her, this is the message for those parents who wants to see their daughter proud, for her own made life. Parveen stated: “Women prefer to be rescued by women,” & “They don’t want to be touched by men they don’t know.”
