Mukhtaran Mai
Mukhtaran Mai is a Pakistani women's rights activist and a prominent figure in the fight against sexual violence and injustice in Pakistan.

Her case garnered international attention and highlighted the issues of gender-based violence and the need for legal reform in Pakistan. Mai has since dedicated her life to advocating for women's rights, providing education and support to survivors of violence, and working to empower women in her community. Her resilience and courage have made her a symbol of resistance against oppression and a voice for those who have been silenced.
