How is Rumana Manzur doing?

Rumana Manzur, a teacher of Dhaka University who was blinded and maimed in an attack by her ex-husband in June 2011, has recently completed her first year of law school at the University of British Columbia.
Struggling with a set of challenges--accepting the fact of being blind, relearning of study procedure, communicating with her only daughter, and difficulties of mobility--to fit in her everyday routine, Rumana is working hard to remain in her game, Canadian daily The Vancouver Sun has reported after interviewing her.
The newspaper spoke with her on the campus about the challenges of finishing her degree without her sight and as a single parent, why she is now studying to become a lawyer and how things are changing for women in her native Bangladesh.
Rumana said she wants to help the deprived women of Bangladesh to establish their legal rights, once she becomes a lawyer after completion of her study. She wants to become a human rights lawyer while she also has a plan about environmental study.
"Until support comes from the society, I don't think that change can be possible, as Bangladeshi women feel that talking about domestic violence is shame for them," she said.
She will speak at a fundraising event, organised by Equal Play, an organisation that hopes to encourage opportunities for women in sports both on and off the field, on May 10 at Vogue Theatre of Canada, according to the Canadian daily.
Former Canadian prime minister Kim Campbell will speak on the occasion.
