‘It is my passion to work towards women’s freedom in my country.’

Lawyer Khushbakht Shah Jillani stands up for women’s rights in Pakistan's courts - and two years ago, she persuaded the high court to redefine a 136-year-old law to give working mothers more rights.

Khushbakht Shah Jillani is part of the Global Shapers Community, a World Economic Forum initiative that comprises more than 11,000 young innovators, activists and changemakers from around the world.
