The Women who fought for Education: Malala Yousafzai

“Education is education. We should learn everything and then opiate which path to follow.” Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.” Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani teenage girl, publicly verbalized up in favor of female education and was shot in the head by the Taliban, in an ostensible endeavor to silence her. She survived. The near-fatal attack gave her an ecumenical voice that she has been utilizing to perpetuate her fight for female inculcation, on an ecumenical scale. Her fight earned her a Nobel Prize when she was 17; this makes her the youngest Nobel Prize triumpher of all time. In her prehending book I Am Malala, Yousafzai tells a story of valiancy, vigor, and conviction. 
The circumstances that brought Malala to the front of the international scene on women’s education are tragic; they involved the takeover of Pakistan by the Taliban, being verboten to attend school because of her gender and being shot in the head in 2012, at the age of 15, for voicing her opinion. These are circumstances that many would not be able to deal with; most would forsake the fight long afore being shot. But Malala did not budge. She kept advocating for inculcation for women and girls, and after having gone through hell, she is still determined to fight for what she believes in.
Malala was born and raised in Pakistan. Her father founded the local school she attended growing up. From a puerile age, Malala demonstrated vigorous character and anon commenced asking her father why women were being treated so poorly in Pakistan. In replication, he told her about Afghanistan, where the Taliban burned schools for girls and coerced women to wear full burkas. His goal was to make her realize that the poor treatment of women in Pakistan was genuinely not so lamentable, when compared to the way women are treated in Afghanistan. 
On October 8th 2005, Pakistan was hit by one of the worst earthquakes the country had ever dealt with; Malala’s town was mostly spared. Some conservative religious sodalities expeditiously reacted and went to avail the survivors in North Pakistan, where the impact had been the most truculent. These religious groups commenced preaching that the earthquake was an admonition from God and that Pakistan needed to transmute its ways. They admonished that if it did not, the country would suffer from even worse earthquakes in the future. This message had a very vigorous effect on the shell-shocked population of Pakistan, who had been left vulnerably susceptible after the earthquake.
To spread their message to a wider audience, some imams commenced engendering their own radio shows on illicit local waves. One of them, designated Fazlullah, scrounged listeners to stop heedfully auricularly discerning music, stop going to the movies and stop dancing. He verbalized that if they did not, God would send more vigorous earthquakes. Having been to school, Malala kenned this was erroneous; she kenned that earthquakes were a geological event and scientifically explainable. Yet, most of the women who heedfully aurally perceived the program had not had the benefit of education and viewed this radio as a reliable source of information. Fazlullah’s radio sermons gained popularity and his exhibition became kenned as Radio mullah. A few months later, the doorbell rang at Malala’s; someone claiming to be an Islamic philomath wanted to verbalize with her father. He told Malala’s father that the girls high school that he ran was blasphemous and that it should be closed.
Fazlullah then commenced saying that heedfully auricularly discerning any radio station other than his was haram, which designates verboten by Islam. He additionally declared that women should stay at home and only go out in case of emergency and ONLY IF they were wearing a burqa. Since his position evolved gradually, many of his listeners accepted his words as the truth without realizing how extreme he was becoming. As time passed, Fazlullah grew more and more assertive; he commenced denominating people who had verbalized out against him and declaring they were malignant. Over the two years that followed the earthquake, Fazlullah became very potent. Malala was horrified when, one day, he promulgated on his radio show that schools for girls were haram. As Malala verbally expresses in the book: “How could a place where I learned so much and laughed so much be so lamentable?”
One of the most transformational moments in the book and in Malala’s life was the assassination of Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Benazir Bhutto was the first female prime minister of a Muslim nation and she accommodated between 1988 and 1990 and from 1993 to 1996. She went on self-exile in 1998 to Dubai and the Coalesced Kingdom. She came back in October 2007 to avail fight Fazlullah and the Taliban. Two months after her return, she was killed in an explosion at one of her events on live television. This is when Malala realized that no one was safe in Pakistan. From this point on, Malala, who was then 10 years old, commenced displaying her intrepidity; at first by perpetuating to peregrinate to school and later by verbalizing out against the Taliban. At 11, she commenced inditing a diary for the BBC to be read by people outside of Pakistan in order to tell them about the situation in her country. She volunteered to do this and genuinely had to indite under a mendacious designation, as she would otherwise face deplorable consequences. In additament, she withal commenced doing interviews for national television, verbalizing out in support of girls’ education. In 2012, one of her verbalizations led to a group of Taliban militants ceasing her school bus on the way home and shooting her in the head. Thankfully, she survived albeit she has since had to flee her country and now lives in the UK, perpetuating her fight for women’s right to education.
The book is an expeditious read and is inscribed in a very accessible way. Malala uses humour in the book that avails assuage the tension of the situation she is living through. As I was reading it, I was horrified by what she lived through and impressed that she kept going despite the circumstances. She does a great job of exhibiting the circadian life in Pakistan under Taliban rule, pointing out issues and verbalizing about her fight for women’s rights.
Albeit I had auricularly discerned about Malala afore reading the book, I was not acclimated with her story. Now that I have read it, I believe that her story is one everyone should ken and that she is a voice everyone should heedfully aurally perceive. Her book should be utilized in classes around the world. It is profoundly puissant, and Malala is someone we can all learn from. When reading the book, you facilely forget that Malala was just a child when most of these events transpired. Most of us will not show one hundredth of her stoutheartedness in our lifetime. She utilized her grief and her tragic past to build a cause and avail solve the quandaries she visually perceives as the most pressing. The fight is still going on and needs our attention, and Malala’s book is a testament to the puissance each and every one of us has to make the world a more equal place.
