She continues to give speeches, and speaks out against the unjust education for girls. She and her father created the Malala Fund to bring awareness to the educational suppression. Shooting Malala was a bad idea for the Taliban. She became even more popular than she was. There were news stories and interviews done about her, which brought attention to her cause. Malala has helped girls everywhere go to school, and because of that she has won many great awards for her efforts. She won a National Youth Peace Prize in 2011. Malala was nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize by Archduke Desmond Tutu. Malala was also nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize twice. In 2013 she was nominated but didn’t win. On December 10, 2014 she did win though. Malala donated 1.1 million dollars to help build a secondary school for girls in Pakistan. At seventeen, Malala became the youngest person ever to receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Malala once said, “For my brothers it was easy to think about the future. They can be anything they want. But for me it was hard and for that reason I wanted to become educated and empower myself with knowledge.”(BBC.com) Malala continues to get an education in Birmingham, because it is too dangerous for her back home. At her old school, she inspired so many girls there that they put a newspaper clipping about her on a door for everyone to see. On Malala’s sixteenth birthday, she gave a live speech
Malala Yousafzai is a girl from the Swat Valley who started the fight for education for Pakistani girls. She was born in a place where girls are hidden away and boys are celebrated, but she wanted to change all that. Out of all of the stages of the hero journey, Malala’s journey along with her return from darkness help depict her as a hero to men, women, and children around the world.
Malala started her heroic journey when she started blogging under a pen name “Gul Makai” how life is with the Taliban for the BBC. She knew that by doing this she was taking a risk, but for her, the risk was worth it if she could get girls to have an education. She was able to go back to school when
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. Soon after, Malala was born and a favorite of her father’s. He taught her the value of education and how he had to struggle and claw his way to get a decent education. He preached that every person should have the right to go to school and be educated.
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 ignorants, she is Jane- the daughter of two christian missionaries who were in desperate need of money.
the deepening threat she imposed on the Taliban had as well. The Taliban's earlier issue of death threats against Malala, though evoking fear, had not been taken seriously until October 9th, 2012. While on her way home from school, a gunman stopped Malala's bus, injured three of Malala's school mates, and shot Malala in the head (Alter, 1). Fortunately, the bullet had avoided contact with her brain but left Malala severely injured and in a coma. Malala was sent to Birmingham, England and had undergone several procedures preformed on her at the Queen Elizabeth hospital. It is controversial whether it was luck, fate, or God that saved Malala that day yet one thing was certain, Malala Yousafzai had escaped death and was on her way to recovery (McAllester, 1). Malala recovered but was left disfigured from the bullet wound in her head but still continued her studies in Birmingham (Leiby, 1). One would think that Malala would fear ever speaking for women's education again but almost immediately after her recovery, Malala continued her pursuits and efforts for women's education (Alter, 1). As a result of her being shot, Malala's name and support globally skyrocketed and the Malala fund was established. This fund allows people to support and donate money to the establishment of women's educations. Famous celebrities, such as Angelina Jolie support and donate to the Malala fund, displaying the effect and recognition that Malala's efforts have reached.
Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. It is the very same “legacy of change” that Nelson Mandela used that inspires what Malala Yousafzai does today. At the age of 15, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for girls’ education. Since this appalling incident, Malala has gone on to be the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize, start the “Malala Fund”, that funds education in developing countries, and is currently the figure of women’s rights. Malala has been constantly speaking, advocating and helping women and children acquire the rights they deserve.

Over the next few months, charities directed towards girls’ education in Pakistan saw tremendous increases in the number and monetary amount of donations (Baker). Furthermore, Gordon Brown, a representative of the United Nations, launched the Malala Petition urging “the United Nations to recommit to Millennium Development Goal 2, which promises that all children, boys and girls alike, should be able to complete primary schooling” (Mulholland). The petition garnered three million signatures and prompted Pakistan to pass the Right to Education Bill, yet despite that, a large majority of Pakistani girls are still failing to receive an education. Malala continues to fight this with her book, “I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban,” the Malala Fund, an organization bringing awareness to girls’ education, empowering those girls, and demanding change, all on top of her standard perseverance and powerful speeches. In 2014, she won the Nobel Peace Prize for her dedication to bring justice to all children, especially in undeveloped countries, and her unwavering dissent to the Taliban’s restriction girls’ education even while under threat to her
Malala Yousafzai has made many claims for what she believes in. Those without a voice need to be heard. The taliban cannot quiet her. Nonviolence is one of the World’s greatest traditions. Education is one of the most important human rights. Yousafzai is able to support these claims with the way she speaks. She is splendid at using rhetoric, persuasive language with techniques like figures of speech. Malala Yousafzai uses repetition, pathos, and ethos to support her claims.
Malala is now getting supports from multiple groups around the world. According to a recent interview, Malala says in Urdu, Her sacrifice and her bravery to fight for the benefits of the society have inspired and have garnered support of many people including teenagers and adults.
She was inspired by her father who shared the dram that everyone would eventually be able to go to school (Yousafzai 41). Even after she was shot in the head and she was able to go to school she continues to fight for others who aren't as fortunate, especially in Pakistan (“Malala Yousafzai”). Malala also realizes that over 66 Million girls are unable to go to school so she is not fighting for a small or easy cause (Yousafzai). Malala said “I raised my voice not for myself but so that those without a voice could be heard” (Yousafzai). She proves this by when she travels to different countries to speak to the people there. For example, she traveled to Nigeria to speak with the girls who were abducted by Boko Haram from their families to help them and their families out. She also helped start the Malala Fund, its goal being to help girls who weren’t fortunate enough to receive education to get their education. This, with the help of Angelina Jolie, would start off by helping to pay for 40 girls to go to school in Pakistan (“Malala
