“FOR ALL THE WOMEN IN PAKISTAN, WORKING FOR A CHANGE, DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, THIS IS FOR YOU”

Waking up to such news, not only did it make me so happy, but I felt so proud.

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, amazing and brave woman of Pakistan, brings home a Oscar for her incredible documentary ’Saving Faces’ based on acid attack victims. Her victory shines a spotlight on a subject which affects thousands of women in Pakistan. She says during her acceptance speech:

The women’s “bravery and resilience in the face of adversity inspires me every single day,” “They are the true heroes of Pakistan.”

Congratulations.
We are now
Pakistan Women, Kicking Ass since 1947.
