Education : The Value Of Education In Pakistan

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.

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.

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

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

In addition to empowering individuals, effective education systems strengthen communities by building bridges between people, thus preventing conflict and ignorance. Most importantly, our education systems cannot simply cater to the powerful and privileged. In making donations and investments, we must look to those who are most vulnerable in the world – women, those from developing countries, and many others who are often relegated to the shadows when governments think about the public they serve. In doing so, we can build a more well-educated, prosperous, and socially just

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.

In this paragraph I will be talking about the fact that women don't get the same right to education as men do. Men can go to school and learn while women have to stay home and do housework. First of all, Malala is an activist of women's rights. Malala's story began on October 9,2012,the day a man with a handkerchief loaded a bus with 20 singing girls. The man asked ''Who is Malala'' and the girls glanced to a young 15 year old at the back of the bus. Malala was named after her mother who died in a battle. So Malala was born, her father was a teacher and refused the way fathers in his culture were expected consequent to having daughters; instead, he wrote her into his clan's family tree—a distinction usually reserved for boys. And Malala's sense of justice came young. When, at an early age, she saw children living on a garbage dump, she wrote a letter to God. "Give me strength and courage," she pleaded. "I want to make this world perfect."Malala hated the fact that she had to cover her face when boys could go walking down the streets freely. But the real crisis came when she was 10 years old —in the form of the Taliban .then she got scared not of the Taliban but because they were banning girls'

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 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.

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

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).

Men abuse them and they cannot do anything about it because of their status also majority of people in pakistan think that men are better, they are smarter, and men are more important than everyone else. This women cannot express their feelings. In 1947, women were able to vote but the big problem was that 99% of crimes were not brought to justice.Most of these cases talk about how women want to claim their rights or trying to fight against abuse. For example a student wanted to choose her husband, she was buried alive her parents killed her because she does not wish to do what her parents

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

Claim:Causes for lack of education in Pakistan include sexual discrimination in the school and in families, as well as lack of government funding provided to ensure safe sanitary schools that adequately provides children with essential learning necessities. Establish Evidence:In Pakistan the culture normally includes having a sizable family with many children, while not always the case it is more likely that the family will have multiple children. Evidence:Boys will often win over girls when it comes to who in the family can receive an education if it cannot be affforded in families with numerous children (Vutz). Analysis:Some families can simply not afford to send all of their children to school, since schooling can sometimes be costly if the school requires compensation in order to attend the school because free education is very onerous to come by if the school is not government funded. Establish Evidence: Even if the family can afford to send their girls to school, they may still refuse to because of what their religious leaders have said. Evidence: In an article from the European Parliamentary Research Service it states that, “some Pakistani religious representative stated in interviews that girls should not receive the same education as boys, but be prepared to become ‘obedient’ wives and mothers” (Vutz). Analysis: Religion is a crucial part of Pakistani culture and effects most activities during the day so if a religious representative stated that girls should not be receiving the same education as boys some people may listen and not allow their female children to go to school. Establish Evidence: However, other families encourage their children to attend school, and even for them to prepare to have a career after their education is finished. Evidence: Though, when they say career they mean a job for a girl, Eman an eight year old from Pakistan going to school in Khanewal, “a small town in the rural South of Punjab Province” (Aushe). She described to the author that, “My parents support me in what I want, but sometimes my mother wants me to remain reserved and think about a job for the girls,” (Aushe). Analysis: This can put stress on a child because they can’t understand what a gender specific

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).
