Shehrbano Taseer, daughter of the late Pakistani Governor Salmaan Taseer—a reformer who was murdered by his own security guard for speaking out against the misuse of Pakistan's blasphemy laws—is carrying out her father's legacy of tolerance in a dangerous environment. Despite death threats, Taseer speaks out publicly against discriminatory laws that target religious minorities and has openly criticized those who glorify her father's murderer. A recent graduate of Smith College, Taseer is a journalist with Newsweek Pakistan and devotes her energies to educating people about the dangers of intolerance. In the face of ongoing fears for her own safety and the security of her family, she fights to promote freedom, dignity, justice, and fairness. Taseer has been characterized as "one of the bravest women in today's Pakistan."
