Pakistani Amazons in Burkas




Take a look at the Amazons of Pakistan in action. Charlies Angels of Indus Valley. Ninjas of God. Standing up, though also covered, to the "man-made" laws, and challenging the cardinal myths of feminism. Who says burka is a bottleneck to female empowerment! :)

And here is the background story to get an idea of the "root cause" of their vigilantism. Don't know why it reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. "I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it." :)
