Rani whether she is formally crowned, dethroned or in power, she is a leader. She\u2019s a rebel, a recluse, a reformer, a revolutionary. She is reckless in love and life but sometimes voiceless and invisible. Rani is equal parts revolt and romance. The WOW festival features conversations critical to our future so that women and girls are not left behind while also celebrating their achievements and all the incredible things they have done.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The digital medium is envisioned as a reclaiming of space from \u2018big broadcasting\u2019 and a return to a more democratic dissemination of ideas. Interactivity is addressed by including activities like a digital art exhibition and a blog with reading lists and song selections to ensure people are not just consumers of content but actively engage with it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Reclaiming our heritage and power as well as reframing conversations around victimhood and power. We look at taking ownership of conversations, spaces and movements for change. While gender-based violence continues to be a global challenges and equal playing fields are still far off dreams, WOW Pakistan hopes to create a lens shift from victim-blaming to social change and strengthen institutions and individuals that are leading the transformation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
