Malala Yousafzai : The Face Of This Change

“The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage were born.” Malala Yousafzai was fifteen years old, riding on her school bus when she was shot in the head by the Taliban. Her only sin was publically advocating for the education of young girls in Pakistan. When I was fifteen, my biggest worries were whether I’d get my homework done by the following morning. School had become a burden, and there are still days in which I’d rather not show up. On those days, I force myself to put myself in Malala’s perspective, and proceed to haul myself out of bed. If one can conjure up such courage just to maintain her right to attain an education, I can definitely take advantage of her sacrifices. Malala’s resilience and tenacity in the face of adversity prove that she truly is a hero.

Kristen Lewis’ article, “Malala the Powerful” was about how a girl as shot in the head by the terrorist group, the Taliban because she was using her voice to stand up and say everyone deserves an education, especially girls.

The Taliban ordered that girls were not allowed to attend school. Malala completely disagreed so she used her voice on the internet incognito to bring awareness about what was happening. The Taliban was out of control, Malala’s family was forced to move South. With all the commotion she revealed her identity, making her well known world wide. Once news broke on who she was, the Taliban

Malala Yousafzai is a young woman speaking as a young education advocate at the Youth Takeover of the United Nations. This was her first speech since she had been shot in the head by the Taliban in Pakistan on October 9th, 2012.

Throughout the span of the human race, many people and organization have stood up for the right of others. Some scientists raced against time to produce vaccines that saved millions if not billions of lives. On the other hand, many speakers traveled across the globe to promote individual’s freedom and rights. In wartime, more people regardless of their backgrounds worked tirelessly to save lives of many individuals who faced genocide. Undoubtedly, history has foretold that at any moment in time, people are working tremendously so that other people may have a better world to live. Regarding education, Malala Yousafzai, known as Malala, has put all her efforts in promoting education to every child living on earth.

Malala Yousafzai being a completely different person that any girl in her country demonstrates the gruesome ,and savage nature of the men and women in the country of Pakistan. She not only shows the unawareness driven by fright among the people there, but displays how horrid it truly was. Influences of a misinterpretation form of Islam yield the innocent under the hands of the miserable forces of the evil such as the Taliban. Subsequently, the country of Pakistan under Taliban rule has gone through continuous fear and discriminations that strip girls from their education. Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani woman who only wanted an education, was obligated to view her life at its worst and at the same time, view the desire and dreams of girls who brawl for their education that they have been denied. Yousafzai has glimpsed and lived through a world that no American child could have ever imagined and cherishes an education what no child would have imagined losing. Nonetheless, through her novel, I Am Malala, Yousafzai has put into effect an extraordinary and a determined message to the world of a sincere love for education and peace. Malala utilizes strong repetition, vivid imagery, and powerful ethos in her biography to make it stand out extremely.

Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” (Albert Einstein Quotes). Activists are not born, they are made. All activists start from seeing injustice or cruelty in the world. Malala Yousafzai, Jack Andraka, and Rasia Khepra are proof of this.

    We have to thank certain individuals who express and spread their own opinions and ideas for all the change that has happened over the last few decades because it is the only way that society progresses. For instance, an influential figure and activist, Malala Yousafzai, has been using her voice to reach out and make a huge difference in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. She lived in a place called Swat Valley where Taliban militants would ban many things and would enforce harsh punishments for those who don’t follow orders. In early 2009, Taliban militants prohibited girls from going to school and getting an education. Malala, believing that this was unfair, began blogging for the BBC about living under the Taliban’s threats and went under the name of “Gul Makai” to protect her identity. With a growing platform, Yousafzai continued to speak about the right that all women have to receive an education. Then, Malala and her family found out that the Taliban issued a death threat due to her activism. One day when Malala was riding the bus on her way home from school, a masked gunman shot her in the left side of her head which injured

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

On her way to school minding her own, she’s shot by a member of the Taliban. At only sixteen years old, she’s winning Nobel Prizes. For the good of others, writing anonymous blogs and putting herself in danger. This is Malala Yousafzai.

“They will not stop me. I will get my education if it is in a home, school, or any other place” these are the words of Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel peace prize winner, a human rights activist, and a Pakistani girl, who has traditions, stories, and a unique experience. She was named after Malalai of Maiwand, the greatest heroine of Afghanistan, and she lives up to her name as a heroine for girls education. Despite the cultural traditions of Malala Yousafzai’s community, she has grown as a world leader in spreading world peace throughout the globe, through her challenges, her accomplishments, and her growth in publicity, with her common goal being an education for all girls.

From a young age, Malala Yousafzai's life was very different when compared to other girls in her area. At that time, education for girls was not very important, and not completely right according to religious practices. This did not go for Malala and her family though, they did something that needed bravery and strength. Her father ran a girls school, and kept it going even through “rough times”. These “rough times” included the Taliban, Fazlullah, etc. It started off with the radio or ‘mullah,’ where a man named Fazlullah would share advice such as, “Stop going to movies. Stop dancing. Stop, he begged, or God will send another earthquake to punish us all.” (Yousafzai, pg. 39). But soon, advice on a radio later turned into a horrid nightmare.
