Based on true stories: American-raised Shahay returns to Pakistan & gets caught up in Vani/sex-slavery dispute but the lovestruck tribal-heir frees her. With her life endangered, she can escape to US or fight for victims of child-brides, marital rape etc #PitMad #R #WF #POC #OWN

These men who intentionally pursue uneducated women likely do so to avoid marrying a woman who can be financially independent and will be more likely to walk away from a marriage where she isn’t treated well.

Men are intimidated by women not needing them to survive and it shows

@chronicles_of_n I'm a published author. My 2nd book meets several of your criteria. Will you take a look?

[Saba (Umm Reem) @saba_ummreem]

@LisaAbellera I've been trying to send you my query but it wont let me load 50 pages. It's in doc, less than 2MB. I've tried every way but it won't work. Is there any other way plz? I've been waiting for this opportunity since last year.

You can be for #StopAsianHate and against #UyghurGenocide & anti #CCP and it’s policies. It’s not mutually exclusive.

I lived in Boulder for over 13 years. My children and I frequented that very grocery store multiple times. I can’t describe how I feel rn.

This has to stop.

You can copy someone’s idea but you can’t copy someone’s energy, that’s why some will win regardless of people trying to replicate them.

It was one of the most heart-wrenching experience of my life. I’m truly blessed to have worked with these great activists against misogyny. I dedicate my second book to all women who have & are suffering simply because they were born woman.

[Saba (Umm Reem) @saba_ummreem]

Exactly one year ago, I flew to Pakistan to research and interview abused women for my second book (unpublished for now).

Masarrat Misbah assisted me. She’s known as the Massiah for the acid-burn women in Pakistan. I’ve seen her work first hand.

[Saba (Umm Reem) @saba_ummreem]

I met Hadiqa Bashir, 19 year old activist from Swat, now a UN ambassador. She single handedly started raising voice against child-marriages when she was merely 11. It’s been a long journey for her.
She introduced me several victims of cultural misogyny

[Saba (Umm Reem) @saba_ummreem]

she helps victims of domestic abuse, women whose male members of the family throw acid on their faces or decide to burn them alive. Masarrat gets those women medically treated, emotionally healed IF there’s any healing possible, and then helps them become financially independent
