Munira is a confident girl and loves to fight for children’s rights. Her ambition is to be able to teach students about human rights and to inspire students to study science. She attended the JULAWATA conference (World Woman Day) and was among the speakers. Munira also  helped one girl who was not able to go to school, due to the family’s taboo that girls should not study. She went to the government’s office and organized a women’s rights foundation to help her go back to school. She further encourages students and other women to fight for their rights and for a better life. Many girls were able to continue schooling due to her action.
