Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai, teenager, political activist, writer, journalist, fighter for the education of girl’s right to education in Pakistan, she publicly spoke out against the Taliban regime and because of her boldness in action the Pakistani Taliban unanimously agreed to orchestrate her assignation, stating that they were “forced” to act because previous death threat to silence her would not work.
These events t were to later unfold on the 9th of October 2012 when returning home from school on a, Taliban gunman stormed the bus shouting “Which one of you is Malala? Speak up otherwise I will shoot you all!” Malala was identified and she was shot in both the head and neck along with two other girls on the bus.
Malala unconscious but not dead, even though a bullet had entered and passed through her head and another bullet lodged in her shoulder After three hours of surgery the doctors treating her they successful stabilized her brain from terminal swelling and she is on the road to recovery.
Described by the US President Barack Obama going on record to saying the news of the shooting is “reprehensible” and Ban Ki-Moon the United Nations National Secretary calling it “a heinous and cowardly act”.
Malala passion for politics and girls rights to education was initially inspired by her father when she witnessed the actions of her him putting his life on the line for a cause he believed in. This experience changed history and Malala’s dream of one of becoming a doctor to become a politician, and fighting for the rights of girls and access to schools and education in Pakistan.
From the age of nine years old Malala was blogging to the BBC under the alias “Gul Mukai” telling real life encounters of the oppression from the ruling Taliban. By eleven years old she founded a foundation to help poor women obtain education. By fourteen years old she was heading school rallies and events for girls rights to education and received awards such awards as the International Children's Peace Prize, National Youth Peace Prize, and the Game changers 2011 Award in addition to holding national media speeches and support for her crusade.
Malala's crusade for the rights of education for girls in Pakistan in the face of such oppression, fear, and death threats and her unwavering commitment to stand up to powerful leaders for something she believe is a right, and doing so at such a young age is extraordinary.
Her passion and courage for what she believes, serves as an inspiration for those that need the courage motivation and inspiration to go against oppressive forces, too stand up and fight for the greater good because it’s the right thing to do.
