Chitral Chicks - Pakistan

December 2004
The women of Chitral in the Hindu Kush in Pakistan are traditionally kept out of sight and out of power. But the arrival of a foreign fashion line is changing everything.

The clothing line, Carvana, is empowering dozens of local women giving them a market for their traditional sewing skills. Many now earn more than their husbands. And it's not only women benefiting from the work -- there's even a former Taliban member working for Carvana.

@fahad56 excuse me, no pathan is discriminated, they are in the army at leading positions, they r our war heroes and they have significance in many other places, infact they are part in running the country, so please stop portraying such images.. pathans are kings in pakistan and respected by every pakistani

@auracatalina Women in Islam aren't beaten, nor are they tortured or rape. Those who do those kinds of act are not following the teaching of Islam. You should get yourself off of watching Fox News or CNN.

Be you grateful or not, I do not wish to argue with people as such as yourself who's heart and minds which Allah has blocked for not understanding the truth.
