Teen Activist Malala And Iqbal Masih

Before Malala Yousafzai took a stand for children’s rights, countries throughout the Middle East were brutally oppressed by the Taliban. The Taliban are a radically militant Islamic movement that controlled some ninety percent of Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001 (“The Taliban Once Ruled”). In 2007, a faction of the Taliban regrouped across the border in Pakistan, invading northern cities including Mingora, a region in Swat Valley. These fundamentalist terrorists were brutal and rapidly became the dominant socio-political force in northern Pakistan (“Education in Pakistan”).

Malala Yousafzai’s home town in the Swat Valley of Pakistan is where her journey first takes place where oppression against womens education is enforced by Taliban rule. The Taliban staunchly opposed Malala’s fierce beliefs in the right for women to have an education and they did their best to silence her voice. Malala and the other women in the Swat Valley were forced to obey their oppressive regime and not gain an education. Despite the harsh climate against her Malala spoke up against this tyranny with the faith that she could cause a change for the better. Unfortunately due to this she was singled out and faced severe retaliation. A Taliban gunman stopped her school bus and proclaimed that she must be punished for insulting the

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.

Nelson Mandela once said that “... courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. " Courage doesn’t mean that you are without fear, genuine courage is trying to achieve a goal, even though you’re afraid. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Tom Robinson is an innocent black man accused of rape.

One activist that acted based on evil in the world is Malala Yousafzai. When she saw that girls are being treated unfairly and not given the same levels of education in Pakistan and other areas in the world she decided to speak out and do something about it.

Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated.” (Kristin Harris, 12 Powerful and Inspiring Quotes from Malala Yousafzai) Malala saw that girls are being treated unfairly in many parts of the world, and she successfully raised awareness and support. Malala Yousafzai is one of the many activists that prove that activists are made, not born.

    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

Malala Yousafzai’s is a women’s activist for youth education, but primarily for girls. On July 12th, 2013, she delivered an address at the Youth Takeover of the United Nation. This speech is powerful, eye opening and deserves to be heard. She is addressing two audiences, one being the people that follow her same belief for education, some of those people would be at this convention and the other being the people that disagree with her purpose, like the Taliban. Yousafzai was in 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, which used to be a popular tourist destination. As of now the region has been taken into control of the Taliban. Her father is also an anti- Taliban activist and educator. She, her father and tons of others just want thing to be like they used to. Where they had a safe neighborhood and didn't have to worry about violence. She delivered a speech riddled with excellent use of rhetoric to convey her argument. Malala’s whole purpose for her fight for education of the youth is so that it will stop future violence, She displays this purpose in her speech by using outward focus, compassion and personal experience to her audiences.

Malala Yousafzai is well known for her acts towards Women’s Rights due to the factors caused by the Taliban people. Malala (Biographyonline, Malala) was a regular Pakistan school girl when the Taliban started enforcing rules and restrictions against women. Women were no longer allowed to listen to music, receive education, or go shopping. If they did, they’d be punished by the Taliban. Malala loved school and refused to cower in fear like the rest of her classmates and community. Malala formed a secret blog with BBC expressing her feelings about how unfair women were being treated. Malala was then targeted by the Taliban and shot in the head. Malala suffered a coma, but

“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” This inspirational saying by Malala Yousafzai helped my understanding of what has been happening in Pakistan and many other countries all over the world. It shows us how important the littlest things can be and how by ourselves, we can make an impact on the world. In the book, I am Malala, by Malala Yousafzai, Malala explained how as a child, she was denied education because of the Taliban (a group of terrorists) and she chose to do something about it: she spoke out against them. When they tried to retaliate, even more people joined her cause for justice. In a similar case, Arnold (Junior), in the book The absolute Diary of a Part TIme Indian, was a boy living on a North American Indian reservation (rez) where unlike Malala, he was able to go to school, but his schools were very bad. Mr. P, his teacher, told him that if he does not leave the res, that he will not get any further in life. He decided to transfer to Reardan, a school outside of the reservation, where he knows that it will not be easy. He faces discrimination and he is exposed to more and more of the terrible things that happen in the world. And even though we learn from him that living on an Indian reservation is not a walk in the park, and that even living there does not compare to going to school at Reardan. Unfortunately for these two characters, they have both faced hardships that have deeply affected their lives. These stories show that when someone is in an environment that makes them lose their innocence, sometimes they also lose faith in humanity; when that has happened to someone, they might want to stand up for the other people with similar struggles.
