Burka Avenger: a new heroine fighting equality in education

Burka Avenger is a new Pakistani kid's show essentially about a Batman-styled Pakistani lady named Jiya who dons a burqa to fight as a masked heroine against tyranny and oppression! Also, the art style is very theatric and dramatic.

It's got English subtitles!

The design choice to have her wear a burqa as her costume is to reclaim what used to be a symbol of oppressive rule. ^^

Also, the little kids are adorable and so is their goat friend, Golu.



Look at that cutie!
