How Pakistan Fails Their Children

There are many reasons why girls in countries such as Afghanistan don't go to school one of them is that they don't have independence to make there own decisions.Malala explained this to us in document D where she said ¨In Pakistan when women say they want independence,people think we don't want to obey our father's,brothers, or husband.¨ She explained how her society view women having independence they view this as morally bad which has lead men to make the decisions and therefore have keep girl out of school.ANother big issue is that girl get married before they even turn 18 according to document A.To be exact 15 million girls are married before they turn 18 which turn into 18millon girls who drop out of school of who never went to school.Many of you might agrue that they all dont drop out that probabity ture but 99% will when you have a husban to take of and children and you don´t have the right to make destion an eduction becomes

There are many countries where culture or religion can sometimes deny certain peoples ' right to have an education, restricting them from going to school to learn. Those countries don’t see the benefits people can get from learning new languages, or learning their own history. One of these countries that do such restrictions of education is Pakistan. In the country of Pakistan, some people think that there is no use of education, it 's unnecessary

This article is a reliable source for my topic because it shows what talibans are doing in terms of girls education and also Malala is a great example for everyone to speak up for their rights and not to give up. She didn’t got scared of the taliban

For the past years Swat Valley with a population of 1.8 million has been a breeding ground of Islamist militancy (PAKISTAN: Militants announce ban on girls’ education in Swat ).A recent warning by Shah Dauran, deputy leader of the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) announced that all girls must be taken out of school - public or private - by January 15, 2009, and by not doing so, their schools will be bombed and violators will face death (PAKISTAN: Militants announce ban on girls’ education in Swat). Schools were closed for winter break until February, However, grade twelve reopened so they could finish as much coursework as possible by January so they can take their board examination in April. The education system in Swat Valley has been greatly disturbed. According to Global Coalition to prevent Education from Attack, Pakistan experiences somewhere between 838 and 919 militant attacks on its schools from 2009 to 2012 (Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack, 2105). The TTP says they have nothing against girls going to school, but the western-style education is not going to keep teaching the Islam way. The Taliban has used acid attacks against girls that try to receive an education, leaving the victims with permeant scaring. Dr. Shaban Ali said, “The Pakistan Taliban have taken responsibility for the attack in threading pamphlets distributed around the city. They also warn local girls

In our society education is so often overlooked; children sometimes don’t want to go to school and almost everyone has the opportunity to get a proper education. But as shown in Parvana education in Afghanistan is controlled and oppressed, only to be taught to some members of society and even then it is only taught in a way that the Taliban sees fit. In the book Parvana, she reads letters to people who are unable to for themselves, her father gets dragged away for having a foreign education and they banned education for girls. Because of all this the Taliban have been able to control their society easily.

The Taliban follows a pure islamic ideology, but their violent actions towards others and the way they treat women is something that Muslims don’t believe in. Women in Pakistan have been treated really terribly and their human rights have been taken away from the Taliban. For the Taliban believes that a woman doesn’t need an education because they believe that a woman belongs at home. Which is why they don’t value education for girls that much. Not only does the Taliban don’t value education for girls, but they also not value education for ALL MUSLIMS. This is because they believe that education is the source that is brainwashing muslims from their Islamic religion.

One of them being the long term effects that has resulted because of this issue. Because of their education neglection, they lack many basic skills that are needed for work. Reading and writing is needed for many jobs, and if they are illiterate they are unable to perform the assigned tasks. Also, there are some jobs in Pakistan that are specific to women, and because of the lack of skills these jobs are always in need. Another long term effect is that many girls are forced into marriage at a young age. Their lack of education leads them to marry an older working man because according to some Pakistani representatives, girls should be prepared to become 'obedient' wives and mothers rather than be educated (Girl’s Education in Pakistan, 2013). Poverty and debt is another long term effect that many are facing because of their lack of education. Women are unable to get a decent paying job to support themselves or their children if they do not have the skills needed for the job. Historical significance is also seen through the Taliban. They are a group of people who have gained power throughout the years and because of them many actions were created. Undeserved deaths, many bombings and unnecessary violence, strict rules, and banning of ordinary things are just a few (Who are the Taliban, 2015). One last reason that the issue of girl’s education in Pakistan has historical significance to it is that many have been inspired by it. Malala was just the start of it, and it inspired girls and women of all ages in not only Pakistan, but all over the world to fight for their education. Many different organizations are working to help increase the number of girls that attend school all over the world. Some are The Global Business Coalition for Education, A World at School, and The Malala Fund. Marriage-free child zones are also being set up in countries where girls are being married off at a young

Elementary education of children, mostly girls, was shut down in Kabul, where nearly all of the elementary school teachers were women. One of the biggest atrocities that the Taliban has continually inflicted upon women is depriving them of an education. The Taliban has gone to extreme and brutal lengths to not only prevent women from going to school but to punish those who do. In Mingora, Pakistan the Taliban had set an edict that no girls could attend school after January 15, 2009. The group had already blown up more than a hundred girls’ schools.

For the children in Swat Valley, such as Malala, it is a privilege to go to school, whereas in America going to school is the norm. In America, there are laws such as NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, but in Swat Valley Taliban discourages children from going to school especially girls. Malala says, “Please bring my schoolbag, exams are coming up (Yousafzai 151),” even though she is in the hospital with a bullet wound, Malala still thinks about her upcoming exams and how she needs to study for them. It is ironic that people, like Malala live in a place where education is a privilege and people who are able to get it, have a vast amount of passion for it. Children in America don't understand the importance of education in the way these children do, since children in well off countries do not have first hand experience of what life is like without

On 12th October 2012 the Taliban sent a hit squad after a 14-year-old schoolgirl named Malala Yousafzai for speaking out “western” style girls’ education. In the book a boy is being hung for trying to help the Jews “And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death.” (Wiesel 64) For some odd and strange reason the Taliban decided this was not an appropriate idea to be saying and thus sent men to kill her,

Not only does Pakistan have low education rates in general but also, more males can attend school in comparison to females partly because of the Taliban. It is hard to imagine going to school every day knowing that it is a risk, knowing that you could be targeted for simply being a girl and going to school in Pakistan. Despite Malala's fear she continued to go to school because she knew that Allah, who is the Muslim word for God, would protect her. It is commendable that one person can have such faith in a God, which they cannot see. I believe this must have been a significant factor, which enabled Malala to continue to blog about her experiences and encourage girls to continue to go to school.

Education helps provide a sliver of hope in dark times. “It was school that kept me going in those dark days.” (Yousafzai 135) During this time, Malala and her family were going through a tough time, as her and her father were being threatened by the Taliban, an Islamic militia from Pakistan. School was Malala’s only happy part of the day, because she could be at ease and focus on something she loves-- education. “‘Let us pick up our books and our pens,’ I said. ‘They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.'” (Yousafzai 310) If someone has an education, they can already have a sliver of hope. It gives them more opportunities that they will be able to escape poverty, thus earning more hope. Malala writes “The Taliban could take our pens and books, but they could not stop our minds from thinking." (Yousafzai 77) Even though the Taliban had tried to stop girls from going to school, they could not take away their education. The knowledge was still in their minds, which could help them, help themselves. Malala says “For us girls that

If the taliban are being cruel, harsh, and are banning girls education, what do they want to reach? Well according to Malala, “the terrorists are afraid of education, they do not want women to get education because they do not want women to be more powerful”, that might be one reason that shows you what the taliban want from banning girls from going to school, which is trying not to make education or girls more powerful than them. And that is why the taliban are using violence so they can make girls not go to

Also, in Afghanistan, school aged girls are being denied the right to an education.On July 12th 2013, for the first time ever at the UN, a Youth Takeover took place. The purpose of this meeting was to bring young education advocates from around the world to advocate for the rights of children to get access to a free education. On October 9th 2012, Malala Yousafzai was shot by the Taliban along with many other students because they were girls going to school. Evidence of human rights being violated is when Malala says “In many parts of the world especially Pakistan and Afghanistan; terrorism, wars and conflicts stop children to go to their schools.” The fact that the Taliban shot Malala and others for going to school shows that human rights

The Taliban took away the right for girls to have an education in Pakistan. The Taliban think that girls should not go to school, and that they should stay home and do house work.
