The Terrorist-Fighting Female Commandos of Pakistan | Woman with Gloria Steinem 

Some translation is completely inaccurate and incorrect. The woman in the background says in Urdu wind up the interview quickly as her baby is crying. The reporter completely changed it and said we had to cut it short because her husband was coming home soon. Very unprofessional

I have nothing but respect for these women

She’s talking about Pakistani Taliban not Afghan , Correction. woman didn’t say my husband is coming,she said I have to go my kids are crying 😂

they didnot even show the right map of pakistan, giglit is a part of pakistan

It's crazy to think that that woman giving an interview without her husband knowing has done something that's more dangerous than I have ever done in my life. Such a small thing. So brave

May these women know, that citizens all around are proud of your bravery and service! Thank you!

I think the description says that this video is from 2016 right?

Don't misunderstood this video is not 2024 video this video is making in 2016 this video is 9 years old now all pashtoon is changed because I'm the girl of pashtoon family but nothing seem like this in our society in 2024

I'm Indian Now I Respect This Pakistani women who choosen to become police and give up on marriage so proud women of Pakistan respect you sister 🇮🇳💪🏼

It’s so sad that so many humans are so cruel to one another

Girls in Pakistan were singing 'Salaam Taliban' when USA left Afghanistan.😂

Just another reason why I'm grateful to my Great Grand parents for deciding to stay in India 🇮🇳. I feel Proud as an Indian Muslim 😊

1:35 since when is Iran, Iraq?

Just another reason why I’m grateful for being born in a free society. I’m sorry these women have to suffer this way.

"Those who not only demand change but who become it through their courageous words and actions" Love it❤

meanwhile, on the other side of the border, India has the most number of pilots in the world. The difference between India and Pakistan is increasing day by day. As an Indian, I think Pakistan should go a bit easy on the religious and cultural front and focus more on economic well-being. You cannot ban half of your population from leaving home and expect your economy to do well. These women are brave. Hope everything goes well.

For those who didn’t care or didn’t read, this video originates from 2016.

I love in a documentary about female comandos, they’re only actually mentioned with 4 minutes left of the documentary. This is why people dont respect you anymore Vice

The woman at 4:25 was not saying her husband is coming so they need to wrap up bcz she hasn’t told him but instead she said we should wrap it up bcz the baby is crying and i need to see him

Its wonderful to see such brave women who can inspire the next generation to be strong and courageous. Love from🇮🇳

Women commandos who still adhere to the purdah culture are geniuses. They can kick-ass and avoid detection at the same time! EDIT: The comment section has now devolved into a weird religious debate. Some dude is quoting the Quran now saying that men should discipline women 'gently' if they misbehave. We need more women commandos.

Heartbreaking to see women suppressed to be nothing more than furniture/objects due to men's insecurities. However, it was great to see in other areas of the country where strong women and girls are pushing forward despite the obstacles.

Sad to see their condition but huge respect for the courage these girls/women have in such circumstances. Sending lots of love and best wishes from India to them and hope that they get the freedom to do whatever they want and desire in life.

The reporter is clearly targeting pushtoon culture...... Our pashtoon culture is not like this ..... Pardah is very important thing ,here is strength in pardah . The whole world, especially western countries, Europe wanted to demolish this pashtoon and pardah culture. It is a rich culture. Only Islam gives full rights to women nothing else can give more than Islam . Islam says about pardah . So we will follow it . Whether we are compelled or targeted . Western countries and Europe talk about human rights and women rights, than why they are genociding in Israel , killing women and children. And I will also remember , what the army did with women in World War 1 and 2. And what western did With women in war of terror in Afghanistan ,Iraq, Syria, Yaman Algazyre and Libia. So I mean that , don't teach us about how to treat women. We know very well, how to treat, feed, norture and educate women ....🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

To see a man hit a woman like that and abuse her makes me angry 😒

such a powerful documentary good job like always VICE

There is a city called "Sawat" which I visited decades ago. Beautiful and friendliest people I met. I remember reading that terrorists took over the city and it took their army to go and clear it out. These terrorists seem to go to places which brings in tourist money. It really cheeses me off when people use part of their religion to force people. From my understanding is that it is woman's choice to wear hijab/purdah. My friends have sisters and aunts who are independent and have jobs. They don't wear hijab/purdah and make sure that they are respected among their male colleagues. We Christians aren't any better. One can not have a successful and thriving country without the contribution of women. So well done ladies for standing up for your country.

Bless These Sisters ❤❤❤

I thought it was weird the deputy at 14:22 had her front badge showing the "City Of Atlanta Police" and the smaller print says "Resurgen, 1847 Atlanta, GA.1865". Did anyone else catch that too?

Such Courageous & strong young women. Maashallah May Allah Pak protect them from all evil & harm. Aameen. 🤲

That's the old vice! Amazing doc! All support to the amazing Pakistani womans! You are the best! All love from Brasil 🇧🇷

It's funny how the women is this culture are braver than the men who impose their insecurities on them

The cabals and evil government cause mass panic and chaos for some time. so make sure y'll protect yourselves and your finances more especially.

Been waiting for a documentary like this for a while

Bless these women fighting against oppression and cowardly men who beat them.

In todays world economy, it's simply ludicrous for half your population to not be working or otherwise contributing.

I admire the girls who are pursuing their studies, as well as the Vice Chancellor of Sardar Bahadur Khan University, who demonstrates the courage to realize the dream of women's education in Pakistan.

It's not like this in all Pakistani areas. There are liberal parts of Pakistan where women are treated equally and humanely.

Turns out the narrator of the video doesn't know the word "Veil"

What a beautiful religion

Thanks vice for showing correct map of Jammu and Kashmir 1:30

Where did She get the Atlanta Police Department patch from?

Respect and encouragement for these women from India 🇮🇳

That women's university has a really nice campus. Well done.

Poor women😢 I feel so upset for them. First they can’t work, then the government can’t help?!? These ladies are in serious trouble why would these men be like that?? I will never understand Pakistan and afghan men.

The neighbors would tell her husband and she has been doomed by the reporters.. my thoughts and prayers go out to that brave woman. 🙏

why did you write Iraq at the firs map that presented instead of Iran

The most liberal city in Pakistan is not Karachchi. It is Lahore. Small correction

Imagine aliens exploring the universe and then they discover these sh!tty spots

The video is from 2016. You should put this in the title, VICE. Hoping the situation has improved since then for women at home and on the streets.

God protect these women... They are resilient under such difficult circumstances. Well done for covering this!

That lady that gave the interview without her husband's consent...i hope her husband doesn't have acces to the Internet

Great documentary, showing a spark of resistance against this male dominated society. Women should be equal and men are not covering women up and restricting their rights to protect them. Good luck to all the women around the world, in their struggle against men's tyrannical behaviour.

Interview lady has western English accent burka woman speaking like she learned script by heart even resemblance male voice

Much love and stregnth to Pakistan women from Sri-Lanka... ❤🎉

Respect for Pakistani Women❤ Well Done to all of them for their service for Pakistan❤

Total respect to these brave ladies!!!

Why did t they show the hand to hand combat? It would have been interesting to see

I am from India thanks to God that I born in India because of when I seen this video i am scared and shocked thank you so much to showing this reality i salute your work love and respect from india ❤️🇮🇳

Great report. Thank you!

Show the world about the threat people face due to blasphemy in pakistan.

Women in Pakistan you have my condolences and support. Remember you have the blood of Durga. Fight for your blood and fight for your rights.

The small things that we take for granted and still complain,carp and criticise appear so trivial when compared to the hardships women from these areas endure.We thank God that we live in a free society and though it may have its imperfections,we still have a lot to look forward to. Thin kfor a moment you only have one life to live,and what sin has a baby girl committed to have been born in these places.What future do these little angels have.

By the way the lady who gave the conclusion statement is entirely wrong by saying that “all of the women we filmed were taking a risk simply by speaking to us” Seriously?? All except one of those women come from families who fathers, brothers and husbands let them be in these high positions. The people suffering are not only women but entire families who are displaced because of being refugees. That is why the interviewer was at the ‘Community center for displaced people’ The woman who was wearing the shuttlecock burqa was complaining about the Taliban not about her husband. She was complaining about not being able to work in the fields anymore. And in the end she had to go because her children were crying. The interviewer also seemed to assume that just practicing purdah means that the women are being oppressed, keep in mind that there are thousands who cover simply because they feel a spiritual connection to their God and therefore abide by the religious laws. I have seen and met women who are doctors and scholars and computer science graduates who are completely covered. The problem is political. In this case it is when a small group uses violent war tactics to cause problems within a country. The main intention is to destabilize the country. The media is then used to spread lies and to very conveniently change the narrative.

i am a pk woman and happier here than in canada..... more respect here

Pakistani women are strong. Our largest province/state has a female leader Chief Minister, leading 130 million people! Yes there are problems. So show the parts where women are excelling, beating men at their game. Pakistani women are awesome!

I love seeing strong, independent women in our society 💪

More power to these wonderful brave lady commandos ❤

Can anyone explain how in countries like Afghanistan where female education is prohibited, they can train female doctors and nurses to treat women, as its forbidden for male medical staff to treat women? Obviously these professions take years of education, but as far as I believe, girls are generally only educated til the age of 10. I'd like to find out how it is possible to be a female doctor or nurse, when education is prohibited.

Pakistan empowering women! Pakistan is awesome. Vice should cover the urban culture in the big cities as well so people want to come here!

I have huge respect for the women . They are the natural creators , nurturers, teachers. They should be respected Always and not to be oppressed. 🙏🌹

wow.. kudos to these warriors.. I feel that they have to man up.. this is sad..

Famous Lal Mosque in inside the very heart of Pakistan's capital Islamabad.Jihadi organisations like LeT,JM,LeJ and Jummat Ud Dawa all have their headquaters and leadearship located inside Punjab close to the liberal city of Lahore or Islamabad.

The woman didn't leave the interview because of her husband. In the background, another woman said in Urdu, "She wants you guys to wind up early since her baby is crying." I'm not sure why you guys would lie about that, but it could be to make things seem worse than they are.

God bless all

stop this hypocricy if you really care about women then talk about the women of Gaza this terrorism is nothing compared to Israeli terrorism

Wait, wasn't Pakistan one of the countries that celebrated the return of the Taliban nationwide? Even the then-current Prime Minister said something like 'the Taliban has broken the shackles of slavery,' right?

19:03 you are the future of Pakistani women

Salute to the woman officer love ❤❤❤ frm India

Good job dear sister. Women themselves should come forward to help other women and encourage them to move ahead in life. Do not depend on men to do it for you.

Peaceful community never fails to show how peaceful is it.

09:33 most accurate map ever..highlights the complexity of the region

I remember my mom wouldnt make a big purchase with out talking to my dad. Now a days. She does what she wants...god bless america

You have used right map.. thanks for that.

Those commando ladies are fucking awesome 🙌🏾

Thank you for these great documentaries, showing stories in parts of the world that are not covered by mainstream media. I hope these women will one day be free to make their own choices and live their own lifes, as nobody should be living in physical or mental captivity.

Thank you Maheen

They are not terrorist: just pakistani FEMINIST fighting for rights

why does she have a city of atlanta police badge?

Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Kuwait: moderate, interested in science & technology, know the difference between sharia law & public law. Indonesia, pakistan, bangladesh, afghanistan: being conservative like middle east countries in the past & european dark age in medieval century.

Not much freedom still but these are some strong women💪!!!! Respect

This is a very eye opening expose! ☆☆☆☆☆ 💯

Being a Pakistani and living in this city, lemme clear out some thing for you: first of all the point stated that women don't have freedom since Taliban's uprise is totally false in today's sense. Okay yeah, i might agree it was a few years ago But NOT today. now women experience the most freedom as compared to what it was before and they can move around freely without any hassle and it has its own freedom and safety for women

Pakistan is such a beautiful country. I hope things settle down over there in my lifetime. I'd love to visit.

they feel frustrated ?? not at all they are happy and feel protected

WOMEN PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN VIETNAM 🇻🇳 ! FIGHTING FOR THEIR COUNTRY LEADING TO VICTORY ✌️!

Being a Pakistani. Never imagined that we have such a streotype society in KPK.

no one really addresses the real issue which is the Pashtun tribe which is majority in Afghanistan and second largest in Pakistan which they have the manpower and ability and excuse to keep crossing borders n wreak havoc to keep ruining both countries while no one does anything to the root cause of the problem which is the tribe and ethnicity

Amazing! I love that you created this documentary to feature women and show that they have a super important role in any society. So proud of their bravery! Thank you for sharing!

Not only is the reporter beautiful, but she's incredibly brave as well. Excellent story
