From
Marvel to the Grammys, Pakistani women's education is conquering the world by
storm.
Brown girls are taking
over the world, and they’re just getting started. Kamala Khan’s onscreen debut
struck a disagreement of blessing from critics and pop culture fans, especially
among girls and women from Pakistan and those in the diaspora who ’ve had to
suffer a slew of Hollywood misrepresentation.
Iman Vellani’s electric
depiction of the nominal character is far from the only trailblazing palm that
Pakistani women have been claiming on the global stage. From the Grammys to
iconic speeches at the United Nations, meet some of the most influential women
from Pakistan that are commanding the world’s attention with a lethal cure of
intellect, gift, and charm, with a solid education at some of the world’s
stylish universities.

Malala Yousufzai
Malala Yousufzai is a
youthful Nobel Prize Winner. Oxford graduate. Activist extraordinaire. Malala
Yousafzai is a name that needs no preface. The provocateur bill girl for gender
equivalency is the ultramodern day lamp of a stopgap for girls who are
forcefully denied training due to patriarchal violence.
At just 15 years old, her
remarkable story of surviving an assassination attempt after getting shot in
the head by the Taliban inspired an outpour of worldwide support and wrath
against her raiders. The life-changing event turned out to be the catalyst for
her to win the Nobel Prize two times latterly.
Grounded in Birmingham
since 2013, Malala was capable to continue her education at Edgbaston High
School for Girls, before entering Lady Margaret Hall at Oxford University to
major in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) and successfully graduating
in 2020.

Arooj Aftab
Still, do yourself a
favor by tuning in to her songs, and let her pensive voice serenade you if this
is your first time seeing her name. Aftab’s hit single “Mohabbat ” from the
reader “ shark Prince ” earned her the Stylish Global Music Performance Award
at the Grammys in 2022, a major first-ever palm from a Pakistani artist. The
song drew rave reviews from colorful critics; indeed, Barack Obama picked it as
one of his top summer tracks in 2021.
Her kidney-defying mix of
reimagined lyrical Urdu verses with rudiments of jazz mixtures has deep roots
in her Pakistani heritage. It’s also a product of her education at the
prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she won an education to
pursue a degree in music product and engineering.
Speaking of her music,
which has transcended artistic and verbal walls, Aftab’s ode to grief through
her rearmost reader was a form of catharsis for her loss following her family’s
death. However, also why not?” she told The Guardian in an interview, “ If
there’s a commodity that I can do to hold people through the collaborative
grief process.

Fatima Bhutto
Coming from a prominent
political dynasty in Pakistan, Fatima Bhutto is one of her country’s most
recognizable pens who came into transnational elevation when she published
her-fiction book “A Song of Blood and Sword,” a bio detailing her family’s
woeful heritage.
The author of seven
books, Bhutto was educated at Barnard College for her undergraduate degree,
where she majored in Middle Eastern languages and societies. “Writing is a form
of reckoning for me, a way of witnessing and flashing back (that which) power
would have us(forget),” the pen fooled when speaking to her alma mater.
Bhutto would latterly go
on to complete her Master’s degree in South Asian studies at the School of
Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, where her discussion
concentrated on Pakistan’s resistance movement.
The pen- intelligencer
continues to dauntlessly pen her views on current affairs and examines
corruption in Pakistan and has contributed to colorful media outlets similar as
The Guardian, The New Statesman, and Foreign Policy.
Aliza Ayaz
The star pupil is one of
the most prominent women from Pakistan who has wowed the world with her
fidelity to climate activism. After Malala, she's the only Pakistani pupil to
have been appointed as the United Nations youth minister for Sustainable
Development thing 13(SDG13), a feat she achieved in 2020.
A graduate of the
University College London (UCL) specializing in global health and epidemiology,
Ayaz was responsible for establishing the university’s Climate Action Society,
which came into a full-fledged non-profit that now works nearly with the UN and
the British government. She was preliminarily the common winner of the UCL’s
Pupil Award for Outstanding Commitment to Sustainability in 2019.
“I suppose the coolest
element was being suitable to attract and retain Generation Z – a generation
that's so busy doing job operations, socializing, and chancing its bases to an
idea that was associated with an ‘environment frenzy’, ” she told UCL of her palm.
She has delivered prominent speeches internationally, including at the UN and
UK administrative events.
