I was written off...

I was written off is an insight into the lives of six talented women: their dreams and aspirations, achievements and constant struggles and the challenges they faced in Pakistan. Through their real-life stories, author Dr Talat Azad presents a snapshot of how these inspirational women, against all odds, overcame their disabilities and today are an example of the resourcefulness of the human spirit and what can be achieved with resolve and determination. “I am passionate that these real-life stories be heard”, says Dr Talat, “for they turn the spotlight on to the rights of the disabled within Pakistan and the world.” “These women are an example to anyone, telling them that despite their circumstances, not to give up but to take hope and push through.”
