What is this podcast about?
We often hear people saying, “I knew I could do this….” or “I always wanted to be…” Some people early on discover their voice while others take years to find their core strengths.
I have never heard a less impactful story, just like no journey is less painful than the other. We all (women) are the protagonist of our stories, and we are 'heroes' of our lives.
These stories are inspirational because we all suffered from some form of discrimination, harassment, and the glass ceiling despite hard work.
Episode Summary
This episode is the story of Ms. Maria Iqbal Tarana, born and raised in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Growing up to see social injustice around her, she joined activism at a very young age and is a firm supporter of human rights. She started her education campaign, aka AAM TALEEM (Education for All), focusing on girls’ education. Her ambition is to promote education as ‘it’s the best way to serve humanity.’She is a ‘woman with ambition’ who symbolizes hope, positivity, and integrity. Despite several challenges in life, she starts her day with new hopes.
Maria Tarana is a Pakistani human rights activist and a political figure. For the last ten years, she is working to promote education, denounce social injustice and violence.
Maria’s story is important because she is a self-made woman in Pakistan. She faced several hurdles, but her resilience kept her going. She is the reason for us to believe in ourselves and achieve what we wish for.
Very briefly, this episode shares:
After my father passed away, I was 14; I found that if you don't have a male heir in the family, as per the laws, the extended family (i.e., parent's sibling) can claim your property. I fought for social injustice and got the acquisition transferred in my name to prove that we don't need a male in the family to continue my father's legacy.
I started AAM TALEEM because I realized that girls' education is very important. They should see the world through books, learn from their surroundings, and know the difference between right and wrong. If we want to make the world a better place, we need more humans, not people.
