Her story of courageous actions created a big sensation in the public(weird grammar). From then on, she is referred to as a symbol of courage and inspiration for all young women, who want to relish the chance to go to school. Mercifully, Malala is now recovered and is back in school. She is currently attending a school in Birmingham in Britain. The Taliban’s attack only made her stronger and more determined to fight against women’s rights in the Arab region. Nothing could stop her from fighting for women’s rights, This incident only succeeded in making her a symbol of courage and hope in the Islamic world. A Pakistani woman named Kainat Ali, said , but for everyone in the world who needs education. Many people were impressed by her forgiveness to the Taliban, saying that she does not. 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.

Her ideal asserts that education for both girls and boys is a critical step towards becoming a country in which gender equality exists in everyday life. she is only 16-year-old from an Islamic country leading the first vital step towards raising the status of women in the Arab region is undoubtedly laudable.

The journey of Malala’s life has been fighting to get education for young girls of Pakistan. Malala wants to show everyone how valuable girls are and that they don’t need to be hidden away from the public, “My mother always told me,’hide your face, people are looking at you.’ I would reply, ‘it does not matter; I am also looking at them’” (Yousafzai 43). Malala will no longer stand for
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
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.
Malala was shot in the forehead coming back from school. The Taliban had shot her- a group of terrorists in Pakistan. Due to their presence, no one is allowed to have to right of education-especially girls. “Around the world, there are 57 million children out of school. In Pakistan alone, 69 percent of Pakistan's male population can read and write while only 40 percent of women are literate. Pakistan has the world’s second highest number of out of school children, reaching 5.1 million in 2010- this is equalivent to 1 in 12 of all the out of school population of the world. Two thirds of out of school children are girls, meaning
Her journey through a life of terror, perfectly documented, shows that “the only thing [that has] changed [in her life] is everything” (iPhone 6s - Apple).

Writer, political activist, and feminist Malala Yousafzai once said, “One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world.” Education is not a luxury, but rather a basis for survival; sadly, thirty-one million females ages five through eleven are not in a primary school and seventeen million of these females are expected to never enroll in school (Education). Malala Yousafzai fought, and is currently still fighting for education rights for women and children (Van). Malala Yousafzai defied a law which she determined unjust and was prepared to pay the ultimate price: her life. Due to Yousafzai’s personal beliefs, she choose to participate in civil disobedience by protesting the ban on education. Malala Yousafzai was successful in her actions through the use of peaceful protest. Yousafzai committed an act of civil disobedience in the eyes of the Taliban. Civil disobedience is defined as peace protest that violates a law intentionally (Suber).In addition to

Malala Yousafzai is a young adult who demanded education for girls in Pakistan. She taught herself how to read and write. She wanted the other girls to learn also, Malala started protesting around Pakistan to be heard. Malala knew what she was doing was dangerous, but she took a risk anyway.
They're determined to make a difference in the world and motivate people. Malala is considered a leader for all of the great, effective changes she has created.

She starts talking about the things she likes and the things she dislikes, how her family taught her right from wrong, how she still fights with her brothers and everything else that makes up a normal human being. but then she starts talking about how education is so important to her and help people in her country don't have the same educational rights that we do here. She tries showing us how sad and horrible life over there is how people get decapitated just because they don't listen to the Taliban just because they do things that they believe are right. She talks about how people would wait by the radio and will listen to it everyday to hear of their name would be said. She even goes as far as saying that at least half of her classmates would come in every morning with a new story of someone who had died. Not only is her choice of pathos give her argument a more stronger approach to the hearts of her audience but it helps paint a picture on how horrible life in Islam is and how strong Malala was for standing
I believe that her opinions and way of thinking were instilled by her father. Malala’s father always stood up for her when others did not “ ‘ my older male cousin approached my father and said ‘ why is your daughter's face exposed!’ my father responded, “keep your own affairs in order” (yousafzai 66). I would assume that is hard being a female, in countries where they are seen as pure wives. Then again Malala is only few women that have been shot by the Taliban (terrorist group) for standing up for her beliefs when others would have bowed down to save their

She knew she could achieve anything. “I was a bit nervous, but I knew it was important, as many people all over Pakistan would be listening.” She knew even though everyone was terrified including herself that she had to keep standing up!
