CONCLUSION
In October, 2012, the Pakistani Taliban endeavored to kill Malala Yousafzai, a youngster known all around Pakistan for her frank support of women’s rights, particularly a women’s entitlement to instruction. Remaining up for ladies' rights could be an unsafe business in nations, for example, Pakistan and Afghanistan, where rough Islamist radicals have a solid a dependable balance. Anyway these religious questions were thought to be basically a grown-up undertaking. Innocents endured, to make sure, however just as a deplorable result of adults' assaults on one another. Few needed that even the Taliban might focus on an intelligent schoolgirl – until Malala.
The assault set off a universal commotion. Malala was shot in the head while sitting in a school transport (two of her companions additionally were hit in the splash of gunfire). It was a survivable harm; however the basic consideration offices she required don't exist in Pakistan. After introductory bobbles, Pakistani government authorities mixed to react. Malala was whisked away to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England. She recouped and, with her family, started another life estranged abroad, still under Taliban passing risk. The young person from Pakistan's remote Swat Valley of is a worldwide superstar. She was designated for the Nobel Peace Prize and accepted the 2013 Andrei Sakharov Award. She has been made a privileged native of Canada. She has spoken at the United Nations and, as of late, she met Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
Malala has written a book called "I Am Malala" to discuss her encounters and endeavor to rouse the masses and impact change in a society that severely needs it. Most as of late Steven Ahle reported that the Taliban has p...

...There is something here for history buffs, politicos, educators, social activists, teenagers, multi-cultureless, and anyone who enjoys a good memoir. The appeal of the book is broad which is very important because the message is one that all people need to hear and keep in mind. When Malala addressed the UN on her 16th birthday, July 12, 2013, she said “We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.” While addressing the need for peace and education, I Am Malala emphasizes that gender equality and the equal empowerment of all women and men, boys and girls is essential for a better world. The solution for many social and political problems begins with education for all. “One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education first”!
The question remains whether women in Islam, are subjugated or liberated?
Crossing the Return Threshold: Being born again, “return is described as a coming back out of that yonder zone” (Campbell, 188). For Malala, this is a very crucial and important stage in her journey. Campbell writes the purpose of this stage is to convey to the community the wisdom gained from Apotheosis. For Malala, this stage gave her the determination to continue speaking out against the Taliban and the desire to silence all women and to take away their rights. Malala strongly believed in her rights, the right to speak up, to go to school and be heard. Malala gave her first speech in September 2008 in Peshawar, Pakistan. Much to the Taliban's surprise. A speech named "How dare the Taliban take my basic right to education”. Not only had she survived the assassination attempt but she made a full recovery and continued her crusade to speak up for many women that are under the Taliban regime. Malala like many in the journey took her fight for justice to the world. She at the age of 16 gives a speech at the United Nations. She also wrote her autobiography relating her journey so far. From a small town in Pakistan to gaining the attention of the world, no doubt Malala has been a hero to many. Her community has no doubt benefited from her strength and courage. One of Malala’s quotes serves as a one-sentence inspiration, “One child, one teacher, one
The journey of Malala’s life has been fighting to get education for young girls of Pakistan. Malala wants to show everyone how valuable girls are and that they don’t need to be hidden away from the public, “My mother always told me,’hide your face, people are looking at you.’ I would reply, ‘it does not matter; I am also looking at them’” (Yousafzai 43). Malala will no longer stand for
Unfortunately, the Taliban isn’t the only group that does this and it is a big problem in the world. But, every year Malala chooses a place where human rights are being denied to travel there to help fight for their rights to make our world a better place. Something the Taliban and others can learn from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is that everyone is free and equal, no matter whom you are, it shows that what they are doing is very wrong and something needs to change. They can learn that they aren’t in charge of other’s opinions, thoughts, education, or other
In 1997, the Taliban made a law banning girls from ages 8 and up from going to school and forced all girl’s learning facilities to be shut down, according to Explora. Some girls still tried to go to school regardless of the Taliban and one of those girls is Malala Yousafzai. Her family did not hide their feelings toward the ban of girls in school to the public, when Malala was twelve she began blogging for the British Broadcasting Corporation about what life was like under the Taliban rule anonymously, and she also campaigned publicly for girls education rights, this enraged the Taliban. As a result, On October 9, 2012 when Malala was riding home from school, her bus was stopped by 2 Taliban members and they fired 3 shots at Malala, thankfully none of them killed her but she was seriously injured by this, as declared by NobelPrize.com. Furthermore, this is not the only harsh rule of the Taliban to women. Women were forced to wear a head-to-toe covering known as a burka, they were not allowed to leave the house without a male, and they made it a rule to publicly stone women who were convicted of adultery, as stated in The Other Side of the Sky, by Farah Ahmedi. Arguably, you can see their was a definite bias in sexes in the Taliban that is very unfair to women
Malala started her heroic journey when she started blogging under a pen name “Gul Makai” how life is with the Taliban for the BBC. She knew that by doing this she was taking a risk, but for her, the risk was worth it if she could get girls to have an education. She was able to go back to school when
Being shot in the head by Taliban did not stop Malala for advocating for the right to education of children. Through her heroic exploits, she received a Nobel Peace Prize on December 10, 2014. This speech was delivered by her during the award ceremony. The speech constitutes everything that Malala stands for. She perfectly provided her background, motivation, and work, along with being grateful towards everyone involved with her in the speech. As an avid speaker, she has also used some rhetorical tactics to capture the attention of her listeners and make sure her point gets through everyone’s mind.
In protest to this, Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani girl, refused to follow these rules, and even began a blog for the British Broadcasting Corporation, detailing her life under Taliban rule. In response to her protest, a gunman approached her, and shot her three times. This assassination attempt started a global movement in support of Yousafzai and her beliefs. Like Thoreau, Gandhi, King, and Yousafzai, one must realize when others are being oppressed and take action against those in power who oppress the people they rule. Otherwise, there will never be change, and the world will never see justice.
First, Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani civil rights activist fighting for equal education in her country. Both Malala and her father, who ran a school close to their house, were threatened by the Taliban to stop allowing girls to go to the school and stop speaking outright about equal rights. However, Malala was already an advocate for girls education, writing on a BBC blog under a pseudonym, and neither her nor her father would back down. As a result, the Taliban attacked Malala’s bus one day as she was going to school, singling her out, the terrorists shot her three times and injured some of her friends. Although she
In the fall of 2012, a young Pakistani female was shot in the head by the Taliban while riding the bus home from school, but being shot was only one of the trails Malala Yousafzai was to overcome. Malala’s injuries were too great to be dealt with in hospitals in Pakistan; thus, she was transferred to England to undergo surgery. While in England Malala’s story became so popular that the United Nations heard of how she was shot and as a result, she had become an advocate for education; therefore, on July of 2013, at the age of sixteen, Malala, was invited to speak about her experience at the United Nation’s headquarters in New York. Her speech was intended to inform people of an epidemic that has invaded not only the Middle East but also

Imagine a world with no education. It is hard not to imagine a society where no knowledge, no future, or no life. If the world had no education; how will we build our sources? How will life know what is right and what is wrong? How would society know about the stages of life from past, present, and future? Just think how empty the world would be without education. Malala Yousafzai, an activist of woman and children's right of education known for her courageous acts to improve education globally. Malala Yousafzai has positively benefitted modern society by speaking up for her rights of education and by inspiring others to join her to create equality for all.
The Taliban had began targeting girls' schools in Swat valley because they believed that female education went against their extremist Islamic beliefs. When the Taliban had prevented her and several other girls from attending school, Malala publicly spoke up against the Taliban's outrageous actions. In 2008, Malala spoke to an audience at a local press club in Peshawar about the Taliban taking away her, as well as several other females, basic right to an education by destroying educational and government institutions. Her speech entitled, “How Dare the Taliban Take Away My Basic Right to an Education,” displays the passion and outrage that Malala feels about the events occurring in her hometown. While Malala's speech was well received and made her publicly known among her village, it was her blog that made her rise to world wide fame. After hearing the announcement by Mullah Fazlullah that girls' schools were to be closed by January 15th, Ziauddin Yousafzai was asked by a BBC reporter if he could search for a girl who was willing to write about life under Taliban rule (Profile: Malala Yousafzai, 1). One girl had volunteered but was later dissuaded by her parents who feared the risks and danger of going against the Taliban (Alter, 1). Malala's father encouraged Malala, who willingly accepted the challenge. In order to avoid discovery, Malala wrote under the pseudonym of
“I am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai is a beautiful and hard breaking book at the same time. This book is an autobiography that describes the author childhood and her support on the right for girls to have an education. Through this autobiography, Malala describes the restrictions that are imposed on females in her country. There are many that believe that woman of Pakistan should not be educated in the other hands there are a few that oppose this idea. Malala’s support on education for girls almost cost her life, since she was shot by the Taliban. From a multicultural perspective Malala’s story touches on topics such; culture shock, discrimination within your own culture, oppression, religion, family and woman’s right. Despite the opposition
Mercifully, Malala is now recovered and is back in school. She is currently attending a school in Birmingham in Britain. The Taliban’s attack only made her stronger and more determined to fight against women’s rights in the Arab region. Nothing could stop her from fighting for women’s rights,
