From a contractor vouching for his cabinet's sturdiness to a guy showing a police officer how sober he is, these people were brave enough to do whatever it takes in the name of truth. Scroll down to check out the effort it sometimes takes to convince others, and vote for your favorite submissions!

Women In The Arab World Struggle To Feel Free Enough To Travel Alone. I Am A 25-Year-Old Girl From Pakistan, And I Cycled From Muenster To Aachen, Germany To Prove To Every Female Around The World That There Is No One Stopping Them From Achieving Their Dreams
All wenon deserve to be free. Every single wenon.
Load More Replies...Nothing stopping them except all the men in their lives. It's not possible for everyone to just leave. Which is why it's a huge issue. Religion and social status, and poverty to babe just a few. Not to mention the public stoning and beatings etc. Agree with the idea here, maybe the caption was off
i know most people think that in Pakistan women are not given fredom. i dont know if me saying this will make much difference or not. i am a Pakistani girl, 22 years old. we girls go to schools, colleges and universities daily. women are respected here. they do have freedom to travel, choose their careers, life partners etc. women are not that repressed as people think. apart from some remote areas in big cities girls roam around freely wearing jeans and all kinds of western clothes they want so no most of then are also not forced to wear burkas.
Honestly I don't understand these people ... I'm an Indian girl and I do what I want without anyone's opinion. These people have a prejudiced mind that we still are what we were decades ago. It annoys me a lot.
Load More Replies...I'm an American and I no longer feel free to travel alone! (I did about 50 years ago.) Maybe it's just age... but the world has changed significantly.
I'd rather you expanded since evolving tends to take a Millennia or two... ;)
Load More Replies...Good for you, but I would be afraid for you to try this in a Muslim country.
There was an Italian woman(Pippa Bacca) hitchhiking to middle east to promote world peace and show that local people can be trusted, she was murdered in Turkey.
Load More Replies...I am so glad and happy for you. However, I can't stop wondering what would have happened if you did this throughout the middle east. Most of Europe accepts this kind of thing. It is in other parts of the world where this needs to be respected and 'allowed.'
How is cyceling for 220 Kilometers in one of the safest countires in the world proof for anything? Its like Buying a Crosaint in Paris to proof people in Africa that theres no need to starve. Ohh did I mention that you basically followed one of the most driven bicycle routes in all of Europe? With Hostels and accomodations expecially for Cyclists along the way? How long did it take you? About a Weekend? thats how long my grandparents needed for the trip (No im not Kiddin they startet Friday afternoon and Arrived late on Sunday). So you flew from Pakistan to one of the most welcoming and free societies and proofed you can ride a bike on a Weekend, an a well known cyclist route, even as a woman from a muslim Background? Amazing revelation. I wounder what else Woman from muslim Backgrounds can do. I mean you set the bar so high I dont know how anyone would be able to follow that up.....
I searched up the word. "Wenon" means to lament or grieve in old Saxon
I love, love, love your courage, your stamina and your self-claimed freedom. I'm awed!
It’s a sad day when you can brag that you’re not in mortal danger at every turn. Also untrue in that area.
Good for you and what a great example you're giving younger girls. Way to go!!
I dont know why you say "Arab world' if you are from Pakistan. And please send us a pic when you go cycling in Pakistan. Doing this in Germany is not a big deal.
When that comment is made it is directed at Pakistan governemnt, not at the women of Pakistan. Geesh
and you did it in a foreign country that has long accepted women's rights! i see you going back to India and showing them how it's done. Perhaps you can lead the change for women.
Jolly good. I doubt you could bicycle from Peshawar to Lahore by yourself though.
I'm American and I no longer feel free to travel alone! I did feel that way a long time ago. Maybe it's my age, but the world is a very different place than it was in my 20s.
She gets my vote. Left to the oppressive males she would have had to wear a full burka to do the ride.
Very Happy 'you' made it safely. Sad those who have not aren't here to tell us why.
If it's women in the Arabic World that struggle, then why did she bike in Germany?
Except by the pervert with a knife or gun, or is behind you...but kudos for you trying and succeeding!
I'm arab and I don't really agree with this, plus it's not really safe to travel alone
Yeah, no one stopping you from achieving your dreams in Germany. You prove nothing. Besides, Muenster to Aachen, that's only 200 km.
Don't discount her feeling of accomplishment.

I think that condom guy should dump his girlfriend if she distrusts him that much.
#3 that doesn't mean you're good at cooking. It just means your artistic. To prove you can cook you have to actually COOK something. #7 Maybe your girlfriend is colorblind. It's rare for women but possible.
