Shabnam Ishaq: Recognising Injustice

Eighteen-year-old Shabnam Ishaq from Sundernagari, says, “ I am uneducated. I was never sent to school by my parents. I know this to be a kind of violence and recognise the injustice. I cannot do very much to remedy my illiteracy at this stage but I now stand up for my sister-in-law when my brother assaults her. I have taken to telling him that I could be in the same situation tomorrow. This has stopped him from beating her. For me and my sister-in-law, this is an enormous change. We are much happier now.”
