  1. Very true.It takes tremendous courage and grit to stand up and work for a cause she has chosen despite the horrendous experience in a hostile atmosphere.Women everywhere especially in the subcontinent suffer silently with no political,
    economic and social empowerment.The few at the top do not reflect the reality in the rural sides.There is a long way for people like Mukhtar Mai to go even in our own country to ensure safety,dignity and equal empowerment of
    women.
    A good work in crayon though she looks much younger in the photograph
