Just merely listening to @zaaria06 share her story is enough to light a fire in your belly to fight against injustice instead of taking it lying down. At 19, she went through an experience other teens couldn’t possibly even imagine, but not only did have the courage to leave an abusive marriage, but she went on to take on the fight of getting a law changed in our country that stated a child needs the signature of both parents to be able to get a passport.

The story takes a truly dhaakad turn when through her sheer determination and leveraging the power of the internet, her petition to change this rule went viral, reached the Ministry of External Affairs and actually succeeded in amending it so that her son finally got a passport! Amazing!

The lesson here is simple: never be afraid or shy to use your voice to fight for what is right and help people.
