Area X Celebration Update
Rubina Feroze Bhatti,
born into a Christian family in the
majority Muslim country of
Pakistan, protects the rights of
women who are targets of honor
killings, acid attacks and other
forms of violence. She is a
founding member and general
secretary of Taangh Wasaib
Organization (TWO), a rights-
based development group working
for communal harmony and
equality through its many programs
addressing issues of violence
against women, religious
intolerance and sectarianism and
discriminatory laws and policies
against women and minorities.
Bhatti trains womens groups to
report on violence against women,
supports victims with counseling
and legal aid and works with media
to bring attention to these issues.

Bhattis peacemaking story began
when she wrote an article
condemning the imprisonment and
torture of a Christian Pakistani
man unjustly accused of
blasphemy. Her words inspired
human rights activists all over
the country to raise their voices
against the sentence, and Bhatti
joined them in creating a
campaign that ultimately saved
the mans life. She has since
devoted her energy to human
rights activism in various forms.

With TWO, Bhatti works to
abolish separate electorates,
which prevent non-Muslims
from voting. In 2000 and 2001,
the organization launched a
massive campaign for religious
minorities to boycott local
elections. The campaign was
successful and the government
restored the joint electorate
system. Bhatti also has established
educational and healthcare
facilities for children working in
Pakistans carpet-weaving
industry, written scripts for theater
productions on human rights and
peace issues that were performed
throughout the Punjab and North
West Frontier Provinces, and been
selected as one of the 1,000
women nominated for the Nobel
Peace Prize in 2005. As a woman
in the religious minority who lives
in the rural and underdeveloped
city of Sargodha, Bhatti and her
work challenge the traditions and
rituals shaped by a patriarchal
society.

Bhatti was a Woman PeaceMaker
in 2009.
