These boxing Pakistani girls are fighting to be treated the same as the boys

Posted on

The Pakistani government supported a female boxing event for the first time, according to local media reports. It took place at a Karachi camp that trains girls between the ages of 8 and 17, in the hopes of training the first-ever female boxer to win an international medal for Pakistan. The coaches say they see this as a step on the path to giving girls in Pakistan equal opportunity to boys.
