Malala Yousafzai Thesis

People at first viewed her as a young girl that was just sticking up for what she wanted, whereas later she was viewed as a strong independent woman. After speaking out to the world multiple times, the chances of the Taliban attacking her grew enormously. They hated the fact that she was rebelling against them instead of following their rules. She continued on, even after being harassed by the Taliban to back down. Malala was secured until one day when she was riding the bus to school. The Taliban had raided the bus and shot her. “...Malala was in bad shape. The bullet had destroyed her left ear…but miraculously she clung to her life,” the article stated. Although, Malala never surrendered to the Taliban, instead, she had persistence and kept going, even though she was hurt. After the unfortunate incident, Malala gained, even more, supporters. People realized that she was so “...dedicated to teaching students and helping students and empowering students,” since she had the passion and ability to inspire as it said in “What is a Role Model? Five Qualities that Matter to Teens” by Marilyn Price-Mitchell. She was able to be so successful that she won the Nobel Peace Prize in the year of 2014, at the age of 17, being the youngest ever to be awarded the

When Malala began speaking she was only 11 and was only trying to speak her mind. The dangerous terrorist group has invaded her home city, and she had the courage to speak up against them expecting no fame. The Taliban enforce strict Islamic law and destroyed or shut down girls' schools preventing women from getting and education. The people living here lived in constant fear but Malala was one of the few brave enough to fight it. Malala chose to continue going to school and even helped lead a group of girls to furthur their education, which is very dangerous considering her circumstances. The radical group soon strikes back, attempting to assassinate a only 15 y/o activist. Malala survived a shot to the head, and dident let that stop her and dident let that stop her from advocating for womens education. She faced many tragities, making sacrafices and even putting her life on the line. Malala overcame many obsticals and those obsticals are one of the reasons she is so globally

Malala was a special girl. She lived in Mingora, Pakistan, where it eventually was controlled by Taliban. She attended a school that her father founded which was taken away by the laws against education for girls that the Taliban was creating to destroy. In the year of 2009, she became a blogger for BBC to talk about the horror of the control that the Taliban were achieving. But on the same year, she was threatened was eventually shot in the head by a Taliban. It was an ordinary day and “Malala was sitting in her school bus when a man climbed on board and demanded to know “Which one of you is Malala?” When she answered, “I am Malala”, the man opened fire” (Kennedy- Macfoy). However she survived the bullet and actually gave one of the biggest messages ever, education for all girls. No one knew should would live and will make a change on the gender roles towards education, especially the Tailban who thought they have gotten away of the assassination. She gave a lot of speeches towards this powerful disapproval of women education and to create a stand that women deserve the right to education themselves. As her ideas and message became to spread, “she became one of the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize” (Kettler). She also got her own day called Malala day on July 12, 2015 where she continued to take action on women education and with Malala funds she was able to open a school in Lebanon. Malala became a symbol over the education for girls and the disagreement towards gender

In addition, Malala changed her name to Gul Makai while she was writing blog posts for the BBC. This shows that she is persistent because she did whatever it took to make the world aware what was happening around her. Also, Malala has started to post and blogging for the BBC news about being treated like a slave under the Taliban’s threat to oppose her education. This means, that although this can get her hurt or killed she still continued to fight for women’s rights and for her education. Lastly, after all the threats her family had received, she was frightened because the Taliban would go after her father and did not think they would actually harm a child. She then was shot in the head when she was on the school bus on the way home and survived. This explains that this was worth it because many people had heard her speech and did not give up at all for her

Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani Women’s Right Activist, is known for her fight against Educational rights, especially for women. Malala is an example we should all follow. She has shown perseverance throughout her whole life. “Malala Yousafzai defied the Taliban in Pakistan and demanded that girls be allowed to receive an education.” Malala didn’t listen to them and kept quite like everyone else, instead she fought. “When the whole world is silent, even one voice become powerful.” Malala believed that education is important, and no one has right to steal that from her, or anyone else. “She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012” because she was working against the Taliban. She survived this attacked and moved to England. Even after being

Malala is a great activist for our world. For example, she has a big part of the inspiration for education. In her homeland, Taliban told girls they weren’t allowed to go to school or dance, play outside, sing etc. She believed girls had much of a right to go to school as boys do. Malala started to go to the boys school as one of her own rights. At this point, the Malala become a target to the Taliban. She was fourteen and the Taliban struck her on the bus with a shot in the head. She was hit in the head but missed a little bit by her skull. She came back strong at sixteen years and showed she will never give up for girls rights. “ I speak with my voice” she would say in an interview. Just because we have feet and hands, knees do not

Malala Yousafzai is not only a nineteen year-old Pakistani teenager, but also a nationally recognized activist. Yousafzai advocates for the improvement of access to education with a focus on young girls and young women throughout the world. Yousafzai additionally promotes gender equality and overall world peace. Being that she was born in the male dominated country of Pakistan in 1997, she has first-hand experienced the systematic oppression faced by women residing in the country. Her activism stemmed from her love and passion for attending school and overall learning and education—traits from which she inherited from her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai whom is a Pakistani diplomat. Through her activism, Yousafzai has received multiple honors such as Pakistan’s first National Youth Peace Prize in 2011 as well as a nomination for the International Children’s Peace prize also in 2011. Her activism has also procured her national recognition and increased her popularity, both of which had upset Taliban leaders. Taliban leaders voted to kill her and in 2012, Yousafzai survived an assassination attempt in which she was shot in the face by a Taliban member in Pakistan’s swat valley as she. In

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for education, especially for females, and equal rights to education in the middle east. She revolutionized education equality for children. She has received many peace awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize. The Taliban outlawed education in Pakistan, where she lived, for all females in 2009. She continued to attend classes and speak out on her BBC blog, the radio, and was even in a documentary about her life in the middle east and going to school as a girl despite the new law. In early October of 2012, when Malala was 15, she became the victim of an attempted murder by a Taliban gunman. She was shot in the head on the bus ride home from school. She was rushed to the hospital and after being stabilized, she was moved to another hospital to remove the bullet. After her tragic personal experience, she became well known and used her newfound popularity to advocate for education in the middle east. This speech is just one example of the many speeches she gave to bring attention to the problem. She also asked many other influential people with a higher status to help her bring awareness to the cause. To understand Malala’s speech the reader needs to understand what her goal is, what rhetorical devices she uses to reach that goal and how effective the speech is. She is quite effective in getting her goal across to the audience through her speeches by using her public speaking skills to get her audience to agree with what she has to say.

Women that defend their rights face enormous risks every day and Malala is a perfect example of this. She is a perfect example of this because she was affected by this problem. An example of this is “In October 2012, on her bus-ride home from school, she was shot in the head by the Taliban for promoting girls’ right to education.” When the bullet hit her skin, the bone richoted it away and the bullet hit her eardrum instead. Once she fully recovered from the bullet to her head she began to fight for girls rights once again. To this day many girls and women still fight daily for the right to learn.

She is a staunch advocate for the power of education and has set an example for many young girls. Without Malala, many girls would still not get their education but, luckily, she has fought for her and many women’s

Along with gaining wisdom, while learning how important education is, Malala grew strong in determination. What drove her to constantly keep speaking out was to make sure that every child, especially young girls, had a chance to be educated even when it meant having the odds stacked against her. One thing that Malala mentioned frequently was that fear would hold her back at times. Seeing what would happen to people who spoke out against the Taliban brought fear for what would happen to her and her family if she continued to speak. This would bring a heavy burden on her heart, yet she was able to conquer this fear with the support of her

When I first saw “He Named Me Malala”, I recieved a deeper insight into who Malala was, and how she lived. I had presumptions of her being serious and prudish, but after viewing the movie, I saw she was just an average girl. She showed me that you can be anyone, anywhere, and make a difference in the world. Malala has also opened my eyes to the importance of education. After watching the movie, I felt motivated to go make a difference in the world, and to better pursue my education and put more effort into it. Malala has become one of my best role models in my life for activism and education since watching “He Named Me Malala.” I highly recommend others to watch the movie so they can see Malala’s amazing story, so they too can realize the importance of education and that you can make a difference, wherever and whoever you

Malala Yousafzai, simply stated, is remarkable. She is unafraid to speak her mind, despite the penalties she might face. In her book, Malala says, “When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful”. When I first read that line, I stared at the page and thought back to all of the oppressive eras in the world’s past that I had learned about in my history classes and thought to myself, history is happening now, it’s always happening. It’s not just a page in some dusty textbook, it’s a book with never-ending pages filled with amazing people like Malala.

Malala risked her life to fight for girls’ education, but survived and is still fighting for the cause she deeply cares about. Many foreign countries such as Pakistan or Iraq believe that certain targeted groups don’t deserve a proper education because of certain ways that they live life. As a young girl fighting for such a controversial issue such as education, Malala understood the struggles of many uneducated students’ lives because she has lived it. She told the interviewer, “When you don’t have an education, your life is very much controlled by others” (Yousafzai 1). It is so difficult to go through life with no type of education, then one is unable to critically understand what certain things are which doesn’t help very much. If a person does receive an education, they understand the problems that people face and understands different areas. Throughout her fight for education, Malala felt the need to not just help fight this cause locally but also internationally because of people hearing about her courageous story. “The Malala Fund was created to help advocate education around the world” (Yousafzai 1). There are many different types

Malala has put herself in front of the world without doubt, to show how brave, strong, and encouraging a woman can be. She shows how important it is to stand up for ourselves. Being a woman or a man should not mean that there should be different rights. This is what Malala stands for and her passion shows she won't give up on what is right. Although you would believe a person who has gone through so much in her short life would be afraid to ever step foot out of house, Malala does the opposite.
