When Women Broke the Norms

There are very few campaigns that leave an ever lasting impact on your mind. One of those campaigns is #BreakTheNorm. The campaign is all about appreciating women who do daring things. When I explored the hashtag a bit deeper, I found out about so many wonderful Pakistani women who standout from the crowd due to their exceptional acts or talent. From Arfa Kareem to the first female truck driver of Pakistan, the hashtag was full of motivational pictures and stories.

Check out some of the glimpses from the campaign here!
