Personal Perspective.

I believe that Malala had had a strong influence on Pakistani women. When she was shot at the young age of 14 and miraculously survived she didn’t stay silent. She spoke up for women’s rights to education. Since the rise of the Pakistani Taliban, Pakistan has become a pericardial society. I believe that Malala and people like her can bring significant change to women’s current status in Pakistan. She already brings change to worldwide education for women. On her eighteenth birthday, she opened a school for refugee syrian girls.Taliban and other religious extremists are the leading cause that counties like Pakistan and Afghanistan have poor women’s rights. In my opinion, we have paid less attention to the mistreatment of women in Pakistan since the rise of the ISIS. If the counties with the power do not support women’s education in Pakistan the countries they country will become poorer as it does not have enough educated people.

National Perspective
Malala has had a strong influence on Pakistani females. Since she was shot around the women in the workforce has increased by 0.7% (UNDATA) She is an inspiration to Pakistani girls throughout the
11% said they were displeased. The Taliban had threatened to kill her again on her 16th birthday. Pakistani's have blamed her for revealing to the world how powerful the TTP was in certain areas of Pakistan. Pakistani comments she was bringing shame to her country and insulting it. Her autobiography; ‘I Am Malala’ was banned in private school across the country. People said the she was against Islamic Laws. In the Pew Research Poll 20% didn’t believe girls should have an education. Local journalist, Tariq Khattak, her winning the NPP was a "political decision and a conspiracy." and that "She is a normal, useless type of a girl. Nothing in her is special at all.

    First, Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani civil rights activist fighting for equal education in her country.

  • I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

    1284 Words  | 3 Pages

    The autobiography I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai begins with the scene of young pakistani education and women’s rights activist Malala being shot in the head. Her school bus had been stopped by the Taliban who, after asking which of the girls was Malala, put a bullet into her head. Malala ends the powerful prologue with the words “Who is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story” (9). Malala then rewinds to the story of her birth and how in Pakistan, no one congratulated her parents when she was born because she was a girl. Pakistani culture pushes for the birth of a boy as an islamic majority country. However, her father saw the potential in his daughter as a great leaser and named her after one of the great female leaders in Pakistan- Malalai of Maiwand who inspired the Afghan people, who were losing hope, to spur the army to victory against the British/Indian forces. Malala describes life in Mingora, Swat Valley, Pakistan. She outlines the Indian- Pakistan revolution and the shift of the Pashtun people into the Swat Valley. Malala’s father grew up in Shahpur but struggled to get his education in the town where he met Malala’s mother. They married and his dream of building a school, Khushal Public School, became reality when they moved into Mingora.

  • Taliban and Women’s Education

    894 Words  | 2 Pages

    Women in America do not have to worry about a terrorist group coming and taking their rights away. They have a government that protects them from these groups and makes sure they have the same rights as others. In the Middle East, especially Afghanistan and Pakistan, women are scared to speak too loudly. These women live in fear each day of their lives because if they make one small mistake it could mean their life. Yet, there are some people who are fighting for women’s rights, especially women’s education. Malala Yousafzai is a girl who fought for women’s education. At the age of eleven, Malala began writing a blog for BBC Urdu. The blog described how she was upset that women’s education under the Taliban would be forced to stop. Malala also appeared on national television talking about women’s education. She has become a symbol of resistance against the Taliban. Even after Malala was put on the Taliban’s hit list, she continues to speak out about what she felt needed to be said. Malala would give her life for this cause, and she almost did. On October 9, 2012, Malala was on her way home from her morning classes when a man walked on to her bus and asked, “Who is Malala”. When she said it was her he shot her. The bullets hit her head and her leg. The Taliban ordered for her to be shot because she was promoting western culture in Pashtun areas. In another case Mukhtar Mai stood up for women’s rights and was sexually assaulted by multiple men with orders from the tribal council. The tradition in Mukhtar’s tribe was that a woman who is sexually assaulted by multiple men should kill herself, but instead of committing suicide she fought for her cause (Samira 28-30). Although the Taliban restricts women’s education for religious reaso...

  • Malala Yousafzai: Advocate of Education Amidst Controversy

    Who is Malala? There are two main conspiracy theories that have caught on and have become convincingly plausible to the disbelievers: She is a brilliant actor and that she has been planted in Pakistan by the CIA. According to a senior analyst of The Telegraph, Malala is basically the face of the Western Propaganda and has been in no way helpful to the concept of education or the people of Swat whom she claims to fight for. To some of them, she is the symbol of feminism; to the ignorant, she is Jane- the daughter of two Christian missionaries who were in desperate need of money.

  • Compare And Contrast Malala Yousafzai

    Although, Malala was in the twenty-first century at the time. Malala’s life in the foreign country of Pakistan was harsh and apprehension filled, unlike Craig’s domestic and straightforward life. In Malala’s homeland, women were not given the rights they deserved. They were forced to be shrouded in clothing, they were not allowed to be independent and they did not have the privilege to gain a comprehensive education. This greatly disturbed Malala. Unlike Craig, Malala’s support of her encouraging family and culturistic beliefs, motivated her to make a difference. In the same way as Craig, Malala’s broad goal was for rights for children. In contrast, Malala’s specific focus was on education for younger females. Similarly like Craig, Malala’s cause and courageous actions were noticed, at first local then eventually global. On the path of liberation for all, Malala faced the situations of death threats and attempts of assassination, unlike Craig whose life was never put at risk. Malala is an extraordinary independent women, who is determined for women of all ages to get the rights they deserve.

  • Malala Yousafzai 'By Sophocles' Antigone

    Malala, from a young age, went to school in her home of Swat Valley because her father ran a school there. Despite early on having access to learning, when the Taliban took over, “girls were stopped from going to school” for religious reasons or due to “social taboos” and when Malala realized all of this discrimination existed because of her gender, she realized her two options were “remain silent and wait to be killed” or “speak up and then be killed” and ultimately, she “decided to speak up” (Yousafzai). The Taliban took away so many rights that Pakistani women had before, and Malala knew that if she choose to be like so many other women in that situation, too afraid to speak out, she would never get an education and could never live the life she hoped for. She challenged them just by speaking out and spreading awareness, by taking action. Antigone also experienced discrimination because she is a woman, and her action was despite being told time and time again she couldn’t, she stood up for her rights anyway.
