Education : The Value Of Education In Pakistan

Their cultural and ideal society believe that boys are more value and important then girls.On the day of Malala’s birth, people in her village of Mingora pity her mother Toor Pekai and didn’t congratulate her father Ziuaddin Yousafzai. Having a daughter in general was frown upon and consider as a burden due to the effort and responsibility of teaching the female to do household chores as while as marrying her off, their birth is often refer to a glomming day.“I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain.” Ziauddin believed in Malala and importance of education and despite its gender he celebrated his first born child, which resulted to Malala’s passion for education that lead to the determination to fight for all girls education.

In these pictures, women and girls wear the hood and robe which fully cover their faces and bodies. Also, from the book, women are treated differently from men. They cannot take part in particularly event or show their ideas. Women's duty in Pakistan is taking care of their children and husbands. However, the picture about "Malala's father and the elders of Swat" shows that men in Pakistan can wear freely and talk about everything.

Education is one of the most important contributors to having a successful future. In developed countries such as North America boys and girls are fortunate enough to have access to an unbiased education system. Therefore, allowing children to have countless opportunities. However, in countries like Afghanistan girls are marginalized and neglected the right to learn. Afghanistan is a country of war, where women and girls are often the worst victims. In 2011, Afghanistan was known as the most dangerous place in the world for a girl to be born (Kissane). Malala Yousufzai, a female education activist was also a victim of war. Yousufazi was shot in the head and neck for advocating for girls and their rights to have access to education. Similarly, to Yousufzai many women in Afghanistan stand up for their entitlement to having equality. Those courageous women often become victims of abuse and are often killed. Investing in girls’ education is critical, not only is it life-altering for a girl’s future, but it’s also poses benefits to society. By allowing Afghan girls access to educating we are also promoting better socioeconomic s, a reduction in child marriages, and an improvement in mortality rates.

Females are discriminated against, mistreated, and are valued less since women and girls are not allowed to attend school and higher education. There are approximately 35 million girls not enrolled in elementary school. This explains why two-thirds of illiterate people over the age of 15 are females. Malala Yousefszai is an advocate for girls’ education all over the world. We learned that she was shot by the Taliban for standing up for education when we had to watch the video where she was on The Daily Show. Malala said that men don't want women to get an education, because then women would become more powerful. Having an education brings power. Her father was a great encouragement for her because he spoke out

Malala lives in a time where women are stripped of all their rights and dignity. Malala is born in an environment where women are mortified because of their gender. Swat is a land where rifles are fired in a celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain and play a role directly to cook and give birth to children (Yousafzai 13). Malala’s birth was not like any other girls in Swat. “He even asked friends to throw dried fruits, sweets and coin in my cradle, something we usually only do for boys (14).” Malala expresses that even though she is a girl, her father does not discriminate against her. When I was born like any other child in America I was born in a hospital, unlike Malala who was born

Around the world, women’s rights have been limited because the government and men feel women will overpower them. I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb demonstrates how women’s rights have been limited and restricted due to the Taliban taking control over The Swat Valley of Pakistan. Before the Taliban, women could have jobs however they were limited to certain kinds of jobs. Growing up, Yousafzia felt that girl could strive to achieve more if they are educated. However, the government and the Taliban saw that women having more opportunities would interfere what they considered their culture and traditions. However, Yousafzai saw other women with the same culture and tradition having more freedom that the women in Swat Valley.

Firstly, every female in Pakistan desire for more education, unfortunately not all of them achieve their dreams of becoming a doctor, lawyer etc. This oppression is similar to the Book of Negroes where education is not permissible, reading and writing is forbidden, and if proper English is discovered from a slave they can face consequences. In the Book of Negroes Amanita spoke proper English by mistake, realizing

Some people in Pakistan, including the Taliban, might still believe that gender roles still apply but they don’t any more. “Gender role- expectations regarding the proper behavior, attitudes, and activities of males and females” (Schaefer). Times have changed and girls deserve the same amount of education as boys. Malala Yousafzai didn’t take the easy way out, she fought for what she believed in and now her voice is being heard around the world to

Malala’s Fight For Gender Equality Malala Yousafzai’s book I Am Malala depicts the struggles Malala had to face as a girl in her Taliban-run home town. She tells the story of how she began her mission fighting for women’s education, and more broadly, for women’s rights, One of the main themes she emphasized in her book is the topic of gender equality, or lack thereof, present in her culture. This is shown throughout the book, all the obstacles she faced. Her struggle for equality is evident in one quote, “ Women were banned from laughing out loud or wearing nail polish, and they were beaten or jailed for walking in without a male family member.” (p.24).

Gender discrimination is a very big issue in Pakistan, more specifically Malala’s village of Swat, as shown through the book I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai. For example, Rohul Amin, Malala’s grandfather, showed discrimination to his own daughters! The discrimination was shown on page 29 when Malala states, “School wasn’t the only thing my aunts missed out on. In the morning when my father was given a bowl of cream with his tea, his sisters were given only tea. If there were eggs, they would only be for the boys. When a chicken was slaughtered for dinner, the girls would get the wings and the neck while the luscious breast meat was enjoyed by my father, his brother and my grandfather” (Yousafzai 29), Amin has his own daughters grow up knowing that they’re seen as lesser than which is crazy on so many levels. Therefore, gender discrimination is a social issue and shown through Rohul Amin’s treatment of his daughters. In addition, the murder of a dancer and singer, Shabana, was

Life in Pakistan is very different compared to life in the United States. In Pakistan, the Pashtun Society does not allow girls to go to school, but in the US everybody can go to school despite their sex. Men are in charge in Pakistan and in Malala’s town. The men go to work and earn money; meanwhile, the women

This shows how the society and its practices correlate with religion. Women throughout the world are fighting for rights and fighting to be seen as equals to men. This is also being seen throughout many religions. Women are fighting relentlessly to have the spiritual rights they deserve within their faiths. One example of this is seen in the story of Malala Yousafzai, who was willing to risk everything to fight for her rights. Malala is a young Muslim women, who’s community was overtaken by the Taliban. Due to this, many of the women’s rights throughout the community were taken away in the name of religion. Women were forced to be hidden away in their homes and to be subservient to men. Even education was ripped from their hands because it wasn’t seen as necessary for women to become education in the Taliban’s eyes. Malala would not accept this and went against the rules in order to receive the education she deserved (“Malala Yousafzai”). She was willing to risk everything, including her life to ensure that she and other women would be educated. Unfortunately, Malala was shot by the Taliban for her efforts to attend school and learn. She survived, and she is now a role model and advocate for education and women’s rights. One inspiring quote by her is, “They do not want women to get education, because then

This is the 21st century, and there is still the atrocity of gendercide. According to the article "Death by gender" published by Cynthia Fuchs, "Gendercide is death and mutilation of victims selected by sex." Malala Yousafzai is a girl victim of this cruel reality. At 12 years Malala received shot in the head that almost ended his life. Malala's father is Pakistani, and he was educated according to the laws of their country and their beliefs, but he differs from the traditional view of women in death by genres. Is very important that everybody understand the horrible conditions of women in many parts of the world because many women don't have the right to education and represent a humiliation for his parents.

The autobiography I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai begins with the scene of young pakistani education and women’s rights activist Malala being shot in the head. Her school bus had been stopped by the Taliban who, after asking which of the girls was Malala, put a bullet into her head. Malala ends the powerful prologue with the words “Who is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story” (9). Malala then rewinds to the story of her birth and how in Pakistan, no one congratulated her parents when she was born because she was a girl. Pakistani culture pushes for the birth of a boy as an islamic majority country. However, her father saw the potential in his daughter as a great leaser and named her after one of the great female leaders in Pakistan-

Increasing access to education not only increasing the intellectual ceiling of a region but it has the power in revolutionizing the lives of millions. Each additional year of schooling will increase future wages by 10-20% (Global Campaign for Education, 5). The benefits of female education far surpass that of men. A well-educated female is far less likely to have unwanted pregnancies, contract HIV, and contribute more of their wages to their families; up to 90% vs. a male’s 30-40% (GCE, 5).
