Women Empowerment isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength.

This mini-series Aakhri Station touches on important social issues plaguing our society. The series follows the stories of 7 separate women who are brought together coincidentally when they ride in the same train compartment. As their journey progresses, these 7 women learn more about each other and come to realize that though they seem different at first, they are actually very similar. All of them are on a journey of empowerment as a means to change their circumstances and each of their stories illustrate important, yet often misunderstood, social issues.

Aakhri Station is directed by a very famous director Sarmad Khoosat. He is well-known for his unconventional and marvelous contribution to the media industry. This piece of work is his another accomplishment and effort for women empowerment and for the betterment of our society.

Tehmina is a woman battling depression who manages to turn her life around with the support of her husband. She is an important character who not only supports all the other women and encourages them to move forward, but also highlights the struggle of dealing with depression in Pakistan. In our society, depression is not considered a disease and is ignored to the point that many people who suffer from it take their lives due to a lack of medical attention. Tehmina’s story is the reality of many people in Pakistan and provides an insight for our society into the struggle of those dealing with depression.

If women understood and exercised their power they could remake the world.
