Female biker sets on historic bike ride from London to Lahore
LONDON: British-Pakistani female biker Guliafshan Tariq is making a new history by travelling to Pakistan from London to Lahore on her motorbike, becoming the first ever female biker to do so.
Tariq, who lives in Manchester with her husband and three-year-old daughter, informed Geo News ahead of setting off on her bike journey that she is taking the road trip to raise awareness about the freedoms of women in Pakistan and to make a comment that women can do anything they want to do when they are determined.
Around a dozen professional bikers, who travel internationally on bikes, gathered at a bikers' cafe in London to applaud Tariq on her remarkable journey. Many of them have taken rides inside Pakistan, and they shared tips with her, who has made several records in the biking community.
The Pakistani biker who hails from Sargodha, Punjab territory, is a software engineer and marketing executive by profession and a biker by passion, and is married to a Pathan family from Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
She informed Geo News : "I made the strategy before the current Iran-US-Israel conflict started. My husband and daughter have already reached Pakistan and are waiting for me to join them. This ride is dedicated to Pakistan and its strong women, especially rural women who are the real face of women's empowerment. I have lived in Swat, and I saw firsthand how women in KP suffered at the hands of the Taliban when I was there. I want to inspire other women and also want my daughter to know that her mum did this, this is a message for my daughter and for women who don’t have freedoms, opportunities and need encouragement."
