Obtain Courage To Say No: A Pakistani Female Doctors Battle Against Sexual Exploitation Designed By Raana Mahmood Displayed In Mobi

found the author's story to be inspiring, I cannot imagine what it is like to live in a Country where women aren't treated fairly and then to be divorced on top of that.
The author's determination to have a career as a gynecologist despite the hostile work environment she was in due to her divorce and being a woman in Pakistan was so inspiring.
I am so glad that she was able to get asylum in the United States and continue to assist women, She is truly a hero, This is a very real story of an educated woman in Pakistan who refused to succumb to a corrupt society, I am Pakistani, although I have never lived there, so I can't truly grasp the horrible conditions that women have to face, But reading this story made me all too aware that conditions are terrible for woman, If so many challenges and threats faced Dr, Mahmood, who was highly educated, imagine how much worse it is for the many poorlyeducated women and girls who are daily exploited,

Dr. Mahmood brings to light just how much power men are able to wield in a marriage, Westerners can't possibly understand how this the decision to get married works, and even for me, it is jarring, But aside from the decision to get married, it is truly unfortunate how the man can treat his wife or wives like property.
It is heartbreaking to read of the ordeals Dr, Mahmood went through in her marriage, Her first marriage. Her second marriage she doesn't devote much space to, maybe because it didn't last for very long, but the first one ended up being truly horrendous.
The only good thing to come out of it was her son Taimoor, who is the light of her life,

Dr. Mahmood, a single parent, tries to navigate through Pakistani society amid harassment, intimidation, exploitation, depression, and grief, Her story is truly incredible and harrowing, and thank goodness she was granted asylum in the United States, because her home country was unfortunately not a welcoming place for her any longer.
Sexual harassment is in the news almost every day, Countless women have been intimidated into silence or their careers and lives have been ruined because they refused to submit to unwanted sexual advances.
Yet, sexual harassment coupled with corruption is not singularly an American affliction, It's an ancient disease, a truly universal tale, Dr. Raana Mahmood's story, Courage to Stay No, is a narrative of standing up against sexual corruption in her home country of Pakistan.
It epitomizes the courage, audacity, and determination required to resist becoming a victim in a culture that places little value on divorced women.
One that openly allows men to have a second, a third, and a fourth wife, all at a man's pleasure,

After escaping from her husband's physical, verbal, and emotional abuse with her young son in tow, Dr, Mahmood filed for divorce and took up residency as gynecologist at a nearby hospital, After facing years of harassment from her colleagues for being a working woman, and suffering a nervous breakdown because of the vitriol, Dr.
Mahmood eventually received a grant of asylum from the United States, where she became an advocate for other women looking to escape domestic violence and an inspiration to those suffering in silence.


In the vein of Reading Lolita in Tehran and Infidel, Courage to Say No is a remarkable and empowering story for our times.
