 My name is Sharminu Bechanoi and I'm a documentary filmmaker based out of Pakistan. As a filmmaker I am able to amplify the voices of women who are facing adversity and who are working on the ground and by amplifying their voices I'm able to help their message get to a wider audience and that is how I support women and I stand up for women. I grew up in a country Pakistan where the founder of the country had a simple vision. Men and women would have equal rights and the society would be a just society for all. But that is not the country that I have inherited and so I have made it my life's mission to ensure that we make his vision come true. The world is a very dark place for people who are champions of human rights. It is extremely difficult especially if you're a woman to talk about some of these issues. So I have been on the receiving end of malicious campaigns both online by anonymous people, editorials in writing newspapers that have decried my work. One of the things that women can do for each other is support each other because you cannot hold back half the population if they decide to come together and so we as women around the world need to support each other, need to ensure that we talk about equal pay, we talk about child mortality, we talk about violence against women, we talk about all of the things that confront all of us because if there's one thing that unites women around the world is that all women regardless of where they come from have faced some level of harassment, some level of glass ceiling have faced something because they were born a woman. Stand up for human rights, stand up for women's rights.
