Breaking taboos in Pakistan on my motorbike

Outlook

Available for over a year

In Pakistan it is rare to see a woman driving solo on a motorbike, especially through Taliban controlled areas or in the disputed region of Kashmir. But that's just what Outlook Inspirations nominee Zenith Irfan does. Zenith was just ten months old when her father died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 34. He had always dreamt of motorbiking around Pakistan and Zenith is now realising her father’s dream and challenging stereotypes at the same time. This interview was first broadcast on 18th October 2016 You can find the other nominees for Outlook Inspirations 2018 here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05ydg2t Image: Zenith Irfan on her motorbike on the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan Credit: Sultan Irfan
