BBC has released the list of its 100 most influential women of 2020 and Pakistani celebrity Mahira Khan is a part of it. "Khan is no ordinary actor – she is outspoken against sexual violence, refuses to endorse skin-lightening creams and supports the fight against racism," claimed the outlet. Furthermore, BBC reinstated how Khan is a national Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, who is "raising awareness about the plight of Afghan refugees in Pakistan." Earlier, as the UNHCR's Goodwill Ambassador for Pakistan, Khan shared a video message featuring celebs from around the world to voice the plight of refugees everywhere. "Pakistan has been hosting millions of Afghan refugees over several years and continues to do so, we have given them a home within our motherland," she continued.
