Pakistani Lawyer 'Trolling the Trolls'
Nighat Dad fights online abuse and set up the region's first cyber harassment helpline.
Nighat Dad fought many battles to become a lawyer in Pakistan. But it was the custody battle for her own son that really got her thinking about the rights of women in her country. It wasn't just attitudes in the real world that annoyed Nighat, she was furious about the abuse that women got online too, and as a result set up the Digital Rights Foundation and Pakistan's first cyber harassment helpline.
