My Journey



ShuMaiLa!



I born in Karachi, a city in one of the four provinces of Pakistan; Pakistan is a country located in South Asia.



I am a social activist engaged in many social causes, for instance, Human Rights, Education, Health especially HIV/AIDS and Women empowerment.



I live in a community where responsibility of inappropriate actions towards women can be put very easily on women for her violating especially Hijab rules prescribed in religion. It seems religion is a social political tool for people to get a narrow escape of their viciousness.



The biggest challenge in the community is closed brain but cunning enough to play blame game sharply. In case of women empowerment campaigns. women their selves do not come up to even speak and share obnoxious incidents and happenings as they know at the end they will be suspected for initiating the bad act rather being given facilitation.



I have already worked for women rights, their independence for taking decision to avail the right to vote, Yes, vote and vote for the political party of their own choice prior to the choice of their male guardians who may impose for voting for the leader of their preference.



Currently, I am working on a campaign of Street Harassment. It's a global campaign to stop street and public harassment against women. With the advent of this campaign, I am advocating equal rights of women in public to walk on streets with safety. No one has any right of blocking a public asset on a specific gender because of their own nasty thinking.



My future endeavors or you can say my future passion is to work for global peace. To make this world a land of humans valuing humanity before nationality and religion differences.



As part of it, I need to work on creating and advancing my skills of international communication, international peace and conflict resolution.
