RADICAL FEMINISM
Anita Karim makes us proud once again! The MMA athlete won the One Warrior Series (OWS) in Singapore on Feb 28.
If you haven’t heard of her before, let us tell you all about this national shero: Anita Karim is Pakistan’s first and only international female practitioner of MMA, mixed martial arts. Hailing from Hunza, the young MMA fighter has brought several international titles home. When Anita started MMA, there were no girls to train with, so she practiced with her brother and other male players. There was some backlash from the community; they questioned her decision to play in a male-dominated sport, and talked about how it would affect her marital prospects. But Anita’s family was supportive, and so she persisted. She knew that girls could do anything, and she wanted to challenge the stereotype that they are not strong enough.
