लंदन से बाइक लेकर लाहौर आई महिला… 56 दिन में पहुंची पाकिस्तान! – guliafshan tariq london to lahore solo bike ride women empowerment tstsd
British-Pakistani biker Guliafshan Tariq completed a solo motorcycle journey from London to Lahore in 56 days, spreading the message of women’s empowerment and independence. During this journey, she passed through many countries in Europe and Asia and shared the sights there online.
Her adventurous journey amidst difficult weather, different routes and meeting local people has become an inspiration for women. This is a strong message especially for the women of Pakistan that they can stand up for their rights and opportunities.
The video of Galifshan’s journey shows scenes of highways, mountain passes, ferry crossings, busy city streets and tranquil rural areas. Some of the clips show him riding his motorcycle braving harsh weather and deserted roads, while others show him interacting with locals and other bikers.
Tariq, who lives with her husband and daughter in Manchester, had earlier said that the journey was to convey the message of women’s empowerment and independence. Especially for the women of Pakistan. He had said that this ride is dedicated to Pakistan and its strong women. She hoped to inspire those women who are deprived of rights and opportunities.
In the video, Tariq told that more than 80 women bikers welcomed him in Karachi, due to which he was very happy and surprised. His original journey was to reach Pakistan via France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Turkey, but due to regional tensions and uncertainties of the route, the route had to be changed and options had to be changed.
Tariq has done adventurous traveling before also. At the age of 24, he made a record by traveling solo on a motorcycle in the districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan. Online, people were impressed by the video clips of the trip. Many described it as bold and inspirational, while some considered it like scenes from a travelogue. Many women praised Tariq for challenging the stereotypes surrounding solo travel and biking culture. Especially in South Asian communities where such journeys are considered safe for men only.
