Disability is a taboo in Pakistan and it is especially difficult for women. As part of the Â鶹Éç's 100 Women season, our Pakistan correspondent Shaimaa Khalil met an inspirational young artist who's been in a wheelchair for more than seven years after a car accident destroyed her spine. Muniba Mazari now speaks out about rights for disabled people in Pakistan. She explained what pushed her to paint when she was in the hospital and realised she wasn't going to walk again.
