Malala’s speech at the United Nations states, “I raise up my voice -- not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard... [Women] cannot succeed when half of us are held back” (Yousafzai). For instance, women are running for president, women are going to college to be lawyers and doctors (Embree, November 4, 2015).

“We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced” - Malala Yousafzai
In the world today, women have a say in what they want to do and things that they desire to do. Back in the day, before the 1800’s, women had to be submissive to their male counterparts and do according to what was required of them. In the end, this led to the demeaning of the woman and the concept that women were inferior to men. Even though this concept and perception changed, there have been some countries and regions of the world that have not yet recognized the equality that women deserve. Such areas do not allow women to vote, attend school, have a say in the community, and the women are at the mercy of their husbands, fathers or male superiors (Hartmann, Susan M).
“I am just a committed and stubborn person, who wants to see every child getting quality education, who wants rights for women and peace in every corner of the world” (Malala Yousafzai). Females around the world are not seen on the same platform as men rather ladies are seen as less than a man in our society. Women throughout the world go through several inequalities along with being stripped of their rights on being able to do things such as attend school due to the reason that ladies are perceived as housewives through the eyes of the world. Women have been victimized of their rights such as, Malala Yousafzai, who makes a stand for those who cannot, in her memoir evidence shows personal anecdotes, along with documentary evidence that proves

Malala Yousafzai, does that name sound familiar at all? In schools all over the country, she was the main topic for fighting for education. She was almost killed, all because she was fighting for the women in Pakistan (her home country) to get the education that they deserve to have. Not only did she face adversity from fighting for education, she also faced it while fighting for her own life afterwards, that didn’t stop her though. She came to the U.S. to live safely, and is continuing to fight for the education; raising more and more awareness about it everyday. “5 years ago, I was shot in an attempt to stop me from speaking out for girls’ education,’ she wrote. ‘Today, I attend my first lectures at Oxford” (Malala Yousafzai).

Since the beginning of time many believe as stated in Ziauddin Yousafzai’s TED talk, titled “My Daughter Malala” that women have been put through inequality and have been treated as if they were worth less than what they actually are. (Yousafzai Para.5) This statement forces one to think on a deeper level, causing one's mind to investigate numerous, precise questions. These of which being, who are Ziauddin and Malala Yousafzai.What is the patriarchal society, and what are the criterion for this type of society? What did Malala Yousafzai take belief in when she was 10? Who did she take this stand for? What happened to her as a result in this belief? How did the world acknowledge this belief?

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 injures 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 on 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 the entire world: the denial of education to children—in particular young female. Moreover, Malala did not only want her message to be heard within the confined walls of the UN; she intended for the entire world to hear of these injustices. Accordingly, Malala used the Aristotelian appeals of pathos to build an emotional connection and logos to support her claims, which strengthened her ethos to gain the audience’s support.

From people who moribund from starvation to millions of animals killed every year for cruel, inhuman science experiments. One girl named Malala is famous for her act of preventing a revolting rule of females to not be allowed to have an education. Bedsides that, women are also not allowed to hear music, watch TV or internet, not fly kites,don’t read books, don’t laugh, shout, or clap in public.
