Affectionately known as Pakistan’s “Iron Lady,” Muniba Mazari is a role model whose take on life is nothing short of her powerful nickname.
After getting married at just 18 years old to please her father, Muniba found herself in an unhealthy marriage to a man she didn’t love. As circumstance would have it, Muniba felt stuck.
Then, when she was 21, she and her husband were involved in a car accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Her backbone was crushed, and she sustained multiple fractures in her ribs, collarbone, shoulder and arm.
