Manahil Naveed is a journalist covering stories about gender discrimination and violence in Pakistan.
Hello!
I'm a junior at Northwestern University with a passion for storytelling and social justice. As a junior editor and writer at LAPP Magazine, I've focused on gender-based violence issues in South Asia. Currently interning at Al Jazeera English's podcast, The Take, I'm expanding my storytelling skills. Additionally, I've crafted social media campaigns for Amnesty International and Al Fardan, working with brands like Ferrari and Aston Martin. I’m excited to continue using my writing and marketing skills for impactful advocacy.

The first time Hina experienced having her period, she felt a concoction of emotions - humiliation, panic, and confusion - wash over her. Hina, a 16-year-old girl hailing from one of the poorest districts in all of Pakistan, recalls rushing back home from school as her school uniform, a white set of shalwar-kameez, got stained in different shades of red.
