Ayesha Ishtiaq, 17, describes herself as "extremely passionate" about studying gender roles. The schoolgirl from Islamabad has also been writing poems about these issues since she was in her first years of primary school. But she was surprised one day when her headmaster told her to put her hair up as a sign of being a 'Good Girl'.
Her story is part of a series of six short films for the BBC 100 Women season called 'Good Girl', in which young women around the world talk about the pressure to fit in with society's expectations.
