Title:Shero
Shabnam was brutally assaulted with acid when she was still a teenager. She is now a Shero, an Indian women's rights fighter who is raising her child by teaching her the importance of beauty and feminine power outside of traditional constraints. Without a doubt, she, her name, and her life are synonymous with courage, beauty, strength, and perseverance. The road to safety and equality is indeed long and ever-changing, but she has now embarked on it and does not know how to turn back.
