Massimino has made the following remarks about the issue: “Popular culture has incredible power, not just to entertain, but to inform, advocate, and inspire. ‘The Good Wife’ has used that power to confront some of the most difficult — and important – political
and social questions of the day. We are proud to honour ‘The Good Wife’ for its groundbreaking content, and for advancing the public’s understanding of human rights and the rule of law.”
Shehrbano Taseer stands prominent in her area of expertise as she is out spoken and touches on issues which others dare not go near to. Her input proved to be of indispensible value at the United Nation Human Rights Council. The Council was discussing a
major resolution that concerned issues related to violence, human rights, religious extremism. Shehrbano played an instrumental part in making the resolution see the light of day in numerous conflicting views that were prevalent.
