Burka Avenger, fights for girl’s schools in Pakistan
 |
| Burka Avenger |
Today Geo Tv is going to launch the
first animated series “ Burka Avenger”, is the first South Asian ninja who wields books and pens as weapons.
Wonder
Woman, Cat Woman and Super girl now have a Pakistani counterpart in the
pantheon of female superheroes, Pakistan’s
first ever very own superheroine “The Burka Avenger”. Meet
her; the desi superwoman is
a mild mannered teacher who has secret martial art skills. She uses a flowing
black burqa to hide her identity as she fights local bad people who want to
shut down the girl’s school.
The
action-based cartoon, Burka
Avenger, is a brainchild of pop singer and former band member of Awaz, HaroonRashid, and will make its debut on Geo
TV in early August. The
cartoon is definitely a mirror to our society which suffers at the hands of
extremists — those blowing up schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to oppose girls’
education. But limitations only give birth to heroes like Malala Yousafzai and,
now, the Burka Avenger. Haroon said that
the purpose behind this cartoon to emphasize the girl education in Pakistan.

Burka Avenger has yet to launch on TV, but she
is creating quite an impression in a country where female literacy is estimated
at a grim 12% and the Taliban are continuing a campaign which has seen hundreds
of girls' schools blown up in the north-west.
Well
thumbs up!!! Hope that she will leave a
good impact on our society and helps to solve problems or clear the
misconceptions about girl education.
