Naz Mukhtiar Dharejo (Sindhi: نازُو ڌَاريجو, born 1976/1977), also known as Waderi Nazo Dharejo, is a Pakistani activist and politician. Her defense of her agricultural land against male relatives inspired her moniker "Pakistan's toughest woman" and also the 2017 film My Pure Land.[1]

A five-year legal battle over the land eventually saw her foes pay half a million rupees (S$6,459) in compensation and offer a public apology - an act of utmost disgrace in rural Pakistan...She persuaded her father to allow her and her sisters to study English, which paved the way for her to gain her Bachelor of Arts in economics at Sindh University, where she could study at home and appear in public only for the exams...Soon neighbours began to speak of her as "Waderi", a new feminine version of the male honorific "Wadera" meaning something akin to a feudal "Lady".
