Let us all meet Gazala Firdos today, one young 14 years old girl who shall seem to be an ordinary being. Reconsidering the former statement, she only seems, for she attains piles of extra ordinary thoughts. Walking down the journey of this amazing Girl Icons , we learn that her nimble feet has  beautified her passion for dance and which in turn has strengthened her fight to do good.
 

With many issues in her community to promote girls forward for their dreams, Gazala had put down her toed feet for equality.
 

I remember there were days when I was told to shut down on my dance routines and school. The mere reason for it had been the same old ritual of girls being left back to take care of the house. It was never easy but I had to fight my family first to show what I am capable of.  It was when they saw consistently my happiness reflected in dance with love of fellow mates showered, I was given the luxury to proceed.  
 

The fight for me was still easier than the struggle I had while standing for my friends who wanted to grow. According to many students like Gazala, the parents in the villages need awareness. They are happy with the way the lives have been yet. Since the city air is now intervening with the village’s, girls want to move out to explore better opportunities and breaking the old rule foundations is a tough task. “Performing in school activities and competitions has definitely given me a good boost to live life on my own. I see my mother and grandmother working hard day and night yet with no fruits at the end.  I feel we all deserve to do better than that.”
 

Apart from her unbroken faith in herself, she strongly opposes the withdrawal of girls from school . She is doing her every bit to nurture girls for a stop on such gender inequality. She personally takes the hard effort of motivating many to stand up for their fights. A star in school, she has been successful in retaining quite a few girls in school amiably. “It’s hard but with a bigger group the opposition is easier. At the initial stages it was highly difficult as I was fighting alone.”
 

The 14 year old delicate yet substantial personality leaves many awestruck by her impactful petite rallies against gender discrimination. She radiates passion, perseverance and positivity in such a young age and we only shall wish for many more miracles like her.
