Sassui Palijo

Activism
--------

Palijo has been an active campaigner for human rights and gender equality. During [General Musharraf](/wiki/Pervez_Musharraf "Pervez Musharraf")'s rule, she was arrested many times in Islamabad, Thatta, Karachi, Lahore, and Thar for protesting against the military regime. In 2009, she strongly protested Musharraf's handing over of [Hindu Gymkhana](/wiki/Hindu_Gymkhana%2C_Karachi "Hindu Gymkhana, Karachi") to the [National Academy of Performing Arts](/wiki/National_Academy_of_Performing_Arts "National Academy of Performing Arts"), saying that Hindu Gymkhana would be reserved for activities of the Hindu community.


Is there any evidence that Palijo's activism has influenced policy changes at the national level?
