Personal life
Muniba Mazari Baloch belongs to the Baloch Mazari tribe.[1] She was born in Rahim Yar Khan, in southern Punjab on 3 March 1987.[1] Muniba went to the Army Public School, and later attended college in her native home town for a BFA.[1] At the age of 18, before she could complete her studies, she was married. In 2008, she was involved in a crash, which left her paraplegic.
Crash and recovery
On 27 February 2008, Muniba and her husband were travelling from Quetta to Rahim Yar Khan. Their car was in a crash, in which she sustained several major injuries, including broken bones in her arm (both radius and ulna), rib-cage, shoulder blade, collarbone and spine. The spinal injury left her entire lower body paralysed.[1] She was taken to a nearby hospital, which was ill-equipped to deal with such a severe case. She was then moved to a hospital in Rahim Yar Khan, and eventually to the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi.[1] Post-surgery, she was left bed-ridden for two years. Physiotherapy started, which helped her recover enough to use a wheelchair.[1][2][3]
After treatment for her injuries, Muniba moved to Rawalpindi. In 2011, four years after the crash, Muniba adopted her son, Niele.[1]
