RE: A girl dreams of ending Malpractice in Law.
In the USA, it was Arabella Mansfield - the first female lawyer to be admitted to the bar in 1869. In Germany, it was Maria Otto who was the first female lawyer to be allowed to practise from 1922. There is also such a "first" in Pakistan: Asma Jilani Jahangir - who was the first woman to set up a law practice in 1952... These pioneers are needed, but so are the successors who follow in their footsteps.
I'm glad you know our legend who had secured 12 awards.
I'm afraid that we don't see any prominent activist who is following her in today's pakistan.
I have never seen any woman besides late Asma and our ex prime minister Benazir Bhutto speaking like a pro, with grace and conviction, in Pakistan
Happy independence day to us🇵🇰
That's a real shame - I was hoping you'd report on some current hopefuls... I wonder. There are brilliant ladies here in the Pakistani community. They definitely live their equality on a small scale. Society as a whole should follow suit. You citizens have to negotiate with each other how this will be organised; we can hardly advise or even demand from the outside. But standing still (for decades) is unsatisfactory...
Or i must say one has to die to become a legend.
Well, we have Muniba Mazari,Mahnoor baloch, their journies are exceptional....
One is the national ambassador for UN and the other one demands the rights for her people who have abducted by forces just because they are considered inferior than other provinces.
When you Google female activists in Pakistan, majority of them were assassinated or attempted.
It's your life or you cause
If this happens, i swear pakistan will become a nation. Currently, we are divided into sects(religious as well as political, both are damaging), and have sympathies for one political party that people start worshipping them.
Lawyers and judges who are supposed to bring justice are no exception.
But it's the people who are divided and wicked and unfortunately one can't bring any change except for himself.
