Malala Yousafzai speaks out after she was shot by the Taliban on the left side of her head for attending school. She then decided to recount the event and write a speech which she presented to the United Nations.

Malala spoke boldly into the profound problems of her beloved Pakistan, promoting education for girls (Robison 1). Malala has been a Pakistan activist for female education rights and has been engaged in activist work since she was eleven years old (Biography.com Editors). For the reason that Malala became an advocate for girls’ education, the Taliban considered her an enemy (Biography.com Editors).
Malala Yousafzai began to fight for educational rights when the Taliban tried to take them away from her, she thought no one should be able to do something like that. “Yousafzai attended a school that her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, had founded. After the Taliban began attacking girls' schools in Swat, Malala gave a speech in Peshawar, Pakistan, in September 2008. The title of her talk was, "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?" (Malala Biography). When Malala gave that speech she knew she was risking her life, as the Taliban would come after her for doing such a thing. However, Malala did it anyway because she thought that doing the right thing was worth the risk. “Malala and her family learned that the Taliban had issued a death threat against her because of her activism” (Malala Biography). When Malala had made such a big impact on the world of women’s education the Taliban had threatened her life, but at
In a country where females are considered lower class citizens with unequal opportunities and no rights compared to the males and where one governing force dictates everyone’s every move, an eleven year old girl initiated a stand that would not only change her and her family’s life forever, but would encourage others to stand up for what they believe in. Malala Yousafzai publicly defied the Taliban’s order by demanding that girls be able to go to school and receive an education. This brazen act prompted Malala to become an advocate for girl’s education with the support from her father and in doing so, caused her to become a disposable target for the Taliban. However, Malala didn't give up on voicing her opinion and she didn't back down from the selfish Taliban gang. Although Malala is an inspiring young advocate, her past experiences with education was not typical modern day culture in Pakistan.
As a child, Malala Yousafzai became an advocate for girls' education, which followed with the Taliban broadcasting a death threat against her. On October 9, 2012, a gunman shot Malala while she was returning home from school. She survived her injuries and continues to speak out on the importance of education. In response to her attack she said “The terrorists thought 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
She could either stay quiet and get killed, or raise her voice and make a statement to the world. She rightfully chose the second option. Her advocating for her rights infuriated the Taliban, and one day, when she was taking a bus home from school, they demanded her location. She was tragically shot on the left side of her brain. Two of Malala’s innocent friends were also fired at during this attack. The bullet left the Malala, a fourteen-year-old girl at the time, in a critical condition. She was transported to a hospital in Peshawar, but further treatment was required, hence, she was sent to a hospital in Birmingham, England. At Malala’s arrival she was removed from a medically induced coma, and further treatment was provided to her as necessary. In March 2013, she was able to attend school in Birmingham. Her shooting resulted in a massive outpouring of support for her and her family, and she was given the opportunity to deliver a speech at the United Nations. To substantiate her message and her purpose, an autobiography was published, titled, “I am Malala.” Her activism makes her a sustained target for the Taliban, but her influence and inspiration on the next generation

Malala Yousafzai was born in Mingora, Pakistan on July twelfth 1997. Malala’s father had longed dreamed of starting a school, and by the time that Malala was born he had created a school and had around 1,000 students. For Malala and many other girls in Pakistan, it was hard for them to imagine a future in their education and careers. Malala knew her brothers would be well educated and could go on into whatever career they wanted, but Malala knew it would be a much more difficult road for her. When Malala started school the Taliban began attacking schools to take away girl’s education. Malala was horrified by these attacks, and this led her to give her first speech against the Taliban in September 2008 titled “How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?” At the end of 2008 the Taliban released a statement saying that all female education must cease, or schools would

She has inspired millions of peoples around the works to their perspective of education but without her motivation of her parents, she would not achieve her goal.

The Taliban invaded and conquered where Malala lived and imposed strict rules such as, women may no longer attend school to get an education and there shall be little to no use of the internet. Malala refused to obey their rules and continued to go to the school her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai owned. Malala also began to speak out against the Taliban using a BBC blog; she was featured in a documentary for the New York Times which made her a target of the Taliban.
