Burka Avenger?

I am so incredibly, amazingly, ridiculously thrilled with this. Pakistan’s first female superhero fights against people trying to keep kids, especially girls, out of school.

 

Keep in mind this is a country where girls fighting for education can still be shot.

The creator takes on the idea of using a burqa for empowerment in this interview. and games, merchandise and more info on the show is available on it’s webpage. (They have T-shirts!!)

P.S. I also just learned about the comic series “The 99” and downloaded a prequel e-comic for free. Thanks to this blog on Muslim women in comics and Lavie Tidhar for the tip!
