Woman Runs for Pakistani Parliament by Sylvie Lednicky

Badam Zari is the first woman from the Taliban hotbed to attempt to run for Pakistan's parliament. She has a grade school education, despite the opposition of her tribe's elders. This os one of the reasons why she supports education for all. Zari doesn't want any little girls stopped from going to school just because it's not considered "proper." I'm proud that Badam Zari is standing up for women everywhere, and I wish her the best of luck in her campaign.
