Recently a Pakistani Television Station has begun airing the superhero kids show, "The Burka Avenger". Uniquely, it features a super-heroine who wears a burka and fights for girls' education (and education in general).

E-mail now Open
Hey Everyone,
I haven't had much time recently to navigate the internet looking for interesting articles or write up my own, so to hopefully help alleviate that I've setup an e-mail for the blog, SuperPoliticsSuggestions (at) gmail.com, where you can send me links to article you think I should feature and the like. You can also use the box I've set up on the side of the page. Hopefully this will help keep things flowing while I'm busy.
Thanks, Super Politics
