Meet Pakistan's first female fire fighter
4 October 2015 Last updated at 00:02 BST

A young woman is breaking taboos in Pakistan by being the country's only female fire fighter.

It is a highly unusual job in a conservative country where millions of women still struggle for basic rights like health care and education - at least three million girls are not in school and, in many rural and remote areas, child marriage is still prevalent.

Twenty-five-year old Shazia Parveen, who lives in a small village in South Punjab, wanted to prove that women can work alongside men regardless of how challenging the job is.

Tough lady.

However, majority among the women are not physically-able for this kind of job. This woman is an exception to the norm.

I dislike the tendency in Media circles to blur the lines between lack of capability and lack of opportunity in each case.
