Tanzila Khan

Tanzila Khan is a Pakistani entrepreneur, disability rights activist, author and founder of Girlythings PK, a platform and website which delivers sanitary napkins to menstruators facing barriers in Pakistan. Khan focuses on raising awareness of and access to diversity and inclusion in all sectors, reproductive health and education especially for those with disabilities. She has given many talks around the world, written two novels, produced one short film, FruitChaat and runs two organizations to de-stigmatize disability.

Disability Tax, is a term coined by Khan that describes the extra expense a person with a disability has to bare due to their disability while accessing public life. The tax burden is on the individual as the institution refuses to provide accessible options or alternatives in the same equal pricing as compared to an individual without a disability hence making the life of a person with a disability far more costly and challenging.
