Pakistan’s top female squash player, Maria Toorpakai Wazir has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep playing the game she loves.
The 22-year-old moved to Canada from a deeply conservative area of Pakistan where women are denied the right to play.
Her family has received threats from militant opposition groups, but she pursues her goals elsewhere.
