100 Women: The teenager who says she won't be defined by her wheelchair

Teenager Nawaal Akram has muscular dystrophy and says she wants her achievements to inspire other wheelchair-users.

On top of running an organisation in Qatar for people with her condition, she is a comic and model, and participates in sports like paragliding.
