Breaking Taboos: A Journey in Women's Health Education

Dr Nighat has never had an easy path.

Born in Pakistan, she immigrated to the UK at 9 years old. Since then, she’s been pushing against barriers: in her community, in medicine, and in society at large.

However, she turned that resistance into purpose. As a GP, broadcaster, and author, she’s dedicated her career to breaking the silence and challenging the taboos around women’s health, from periods to menopause, making sure no woman feels ashamed of her body.

She embodies resilience, rebellion, and a refusal to apologise for being authentic. Her mission is clear: to empower women of every age to approach their health with confidence, knowledge, and freedom from stigma.
