Mai Jori stands for elections in PB-25 Jafarabad, Baluchistan
By Rana • Mar 7th, 2010 • Category: Politics • 5 CommentsMai Jori is an ordinary woman that has the courage to stand in elections against the mighty Jamalis. I hope and pray that she wins the elections. It will be the first time in the history of Pakistan that a common peasant woman has taken upon herself to stand up for the rights of the people.

Jaffarabad by-polls: Female candidate holds public meeting JAFARABAD: Female candidate for PB-25 Jafarabad, Mai Jori Sunday said that feudal lords and capitalists have always robbed the poor of their rights, pushing them further below the poverty line and now labourers are worried even about their one time meals.
Addressing her maiden public meeting here at a roundabout of Osta Muhammad, Mai Jori said despite belonging to an illiterate family associated with peasantry she decided to participate in the by-elections due to the atrocities of the feudal lords. I request you to vote me to victory, she added, promising that she would bring revolutionary changes in the living standards of the people if elected.
A number of the people from the crowd garlanded Mai Jori and presented her Balochi dopattas.

I strongly believe that she is a symbol of all struggling women in this country. I came across this very elaborative post on Mai Jori on Individualland blog. I think the post completely summarizes my thoughts on it. Here is the link

good one. Now that is called pure democracy. I hope she wins. She is surely putting up a great fight though against a powerful campaign. More people like her need to come up so that the problems of the common man can surface for solutions as well. The richest province but the poorest people. That is sad to see only if the huge grant money could be utilized rightly.
One the eve of International Women’s day Mai Jori stands as symbol for change where in a vibrant democracy and also an inspiration for many individuals who aspire to do more for their country. While the chances are that she might not win but this does not take away her courage to step up and break imposed norms of society
Salute to the most courageous Mai Juri Jamali, who stand against 3 Monster Sardar Candidates.
@yas. Hey good piece there. Appreciate sending that link. You guys should give this link a read as well. And hey I think this is something great. Taliban have surely affected the women in the country and steps such as this will definitely promote women in the country. Its about time women get rights equal to men or probably even MORE!
