Burka Avenger (Urdu: برقعہ ایوینجر) is a Pakistani animated television series created, directed and produced by Haroon.

[5] It then made its international airing in Afghanistan, India and Indonesia[6] and dubbed in many languages including Turkish, Arabic, Tamil, Pashto, and Persian.

Jiya fights corrupt politicians and vengeful mercenaries[10] who attempt to shut down girls’ schools, using "Takht Kabadi", a martial art that involves throwing books and pens.

[11] The main characters include three children, twins Ashu and Immu, their friend Mooli (who takes his sobriquet from his enthusiasm for the vegetable of the same name), his pet goat Golu, Jiya (the Burka Avenger), the villainous magician Baba Bandook, corrupt politician Vadero Pajero, and Jiya's adoptive father Kabbadi Jan.[9][11] Episodes of Burka Avenger feature music from artists such as Ali Zafar, Ali Azmat, and JoSH, as well as Haroon.

Rapper Adil Omar and Haroon released a music video featuring the Burka Avenger called "Don't Mess With the Lady in Black".

[10] The Washington Post elaborated on this, stating "Pakistan's new superhero makes the hoop-skirted, Prince Charming-obsessed Disney princesses look downright antiquated.

She commented that "American superhero stories could stand to think more about Jiya's dual role, and how she turns perceived disadvantages or the tools of her trade into strengths.

And so she chooses to wear the burqa only as a disguise, she's not oppressed ... and on the other end of the spectrum, a lot of female superheroes in the West are objectified, and sort of sexualized in their costumes, like Catwoman and Wonder Woman (referring to the 1970's TV series), and that certainly would not work here.
