The young lawyer taking Pakistan to court over its unfair ‘period tax’
Mahnoor Omer, a 25-year-old lawyer from Rawalpindi, is making headlines by challenging the Pakistani government over its unfair 'period tax' on sanitary products. Her case, which has already seen its first hearing at Lahore's high court, aims to raise public awareness and pressure the government to make these essential items more affordable for women. This initiative is significant as it highlights the financial burden many women face and advocates for their rights, potentially leading to meaningful change in policy.
