"Time" magazine rated the show as one of the most Influential Fictional Characters of 2013. In an article on "Burka Avenger", the "Huffington Post" stated that "Disney could learn a thing or two". The "Washington Post" elaborated on this, stating "Pakistan's new superhero makes the hoop-skirted, Prince Charming-obsessed Disney princesses look downright antiquated. She was not born into royalty. She does not obsess about her beauty. And she definitely does not want or need to be whisked off on some white horse or magic carpet. No, Jiya, or the Burka Avenger, is too busy defending women’s rights and education for all. Now that’s what I call a role model for girls". CBC News put "Burka Avenger"s rave reviews down to "its colourful animation, pro-education message and cross-generational appeal", going on to state that "many are proudly referring to the character as Pakistan's Wonder Woman." Alyssa Rosenberg is a Features Editor of Think Progress. Her writings are based on the intersection of culture and politics. 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.” Pakistan’s Dawn News referred to "Burka Avenger" as an "international phenomenon" due to its content. "Burka Avenger" has been praised for its promotion of women's education in Pakistan. This is Pakistan's first animated female superhero.
