As a result of the persistent financial difficulties, it often happened that after feeding the children at night, the father and uncle would go to bed hungry, but Vikas was so lucky that he did not suffer any mental distress due to such poverty.

Parents with such a mindset enrolled Vikas in Julian Day School, as there was no school fee to be paid up to the fifth standard and a lower fee to be paid even after the fifth standard. Vikas was the first in the whole family to study in an English medium school. So she needed someone to help her learn English.

A piece of clothing

Shamim came to understand a little bit about the discrimination and injustice that happens to women on a daily basis.

The height of Shamim Akhtar is five feet, but the height of his confidence is special. His influential personality attracts Sahu's attention. He was born in 19 in a conservative society in Balochistan where the first child in the family must be a son. Shamim, the eldest of eight children, was not allowed to leave the house in the society in which he was born. Boys were not allowed to study and there was no girls school in the village, but Shamim's uncle was educated up to university. So they did not want Shamim to stay at home. He wanted Shamim Bhane to see the country and the world through his own eyes. Shamim was so lucky that his name was known to both boys and girls. So his uncle thought that if he wanted to be sent to school, the only solution was to send him to school dressed as a boy.

Shamim was ten years old. There was a little understanding. Seeing the daily discrimination and injustice against women, Manoman thinks that boys have two arms and two legs and girls also have two arms and two legs, then what is the use of such discrimination?

After studying further, he joined the BBC. Listening to World Service and talking about politics while my father's friends were sitting there trying to understand everything.

Gradually everyone in the village came to know that it was not a boy but a girl. This caused a great deal of controversy. It hurt the ego of many men to become a girl and become smarter than their sons. Went on a three-day hunger strike to study intermediate. Eventually he got approval and studied in a girls' hostel in the nearby town of Mirpur Khas, but when he was about to get admission in the university for higher education, his father refused and said that now his younger brothers needed help so that he could help the family. Shamim decided to become a 'Lady Health Visitor' instead of returning home. There he gets to learn and also gets a stipend. In the meantime he heard about the Thardeep Rural Development Program which serves as a service in Tharparkar. She got there after a five-hour journey without telling anyone. He got a job there, but what about his father's wages? When he reached home, he quietly packed his things and went to his father's room at night and said, 'Abba, if you have faith in your daughter, you will come to drop me off at the bus stop tomorrow morning. Otherwise I will understand your decision. '

In the morning Dad was ready to drop her off at the bus stop. While working, she saw that the struggle of Pakistani women was nothing compared to what they were suffering. Many women do not have enough to feed their babies. So there is no drinking water. Six to seven km per day. You have to fetch water on foot. Thirty two km. Not until the hospital. At the time of childbirth, women are taken in camel carts, so sometimes they die on the way. Shamim's team opened wells in the village, started a health center and a school. Within a few years, Shamim Akhtar became a role model. Gradually people began to understand the importance of education. They started sending their daughters to school. In 2016, the family members applied for a teacher in a school near the village to stay close to home. She did not want to leave the Thardeep Rural Development Program, but accepted the job as a teacher out of respect for the wishes of her family. On the first day of school, he noticed how many young Shamimos were eager to study and there was a shortage of teachers. She could not leave school. Elected as Acumen Fellow in 2012. He started studying for a PhD at the age of 9, so that he could reach a higher position and change the method of education. He believes that the world will change if women get education. Just like a piece of cloth changed my life. Where would I be today if I had grown up as a woman?
