Malala Yousafzai


Malala Yousafzai is a girl that was shot lately in the head. She was shot because of her beliefs of fairness in the world. She lives in Mingora, a northwest region of Pakistan. Her hometown was brought under Taliban rule. The Taliban wanted for the religion to be respected and strictly used everywhere. Malala was a brave little girl that wrote a dairy for the BCC Urdu. In this dairy she explained what she thought about all the unfair and forbidden  things the Taliban rule was opponing on her town, and the suffering they were facing because o the Taliban rule. The main reason she stood up for her rights was the closing of girls schools. The Taliban's prohibited the education for girls. Malala was shot and people wanted her dead because she respected herself and stood up for her rights. 

I think Malala was a very brave girl. Although she knew that exposing her real feelings and thoughts would be bad and dangerous for her and her family, she never gave up. She is supported by her parents who said they preferred having this risk, than the mayor risk of not letting people know about this. She clearly inspired a lot of people, because she was one of the little amount of voices that spoked out, and made people realize what was happening infront of their own eyes. Also her hard work to prove this events to people succeeded, because she was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize in 2011. And she was awarded the National Peace Award. She indeed was had great bravery and the great independence she had, to do all of this practically alone. I think that what was done to Malala was really wrong, because every person in t he world share the same human rights. As the the list of human rights states:
18. Freedom of belief and thought. 
19. Freedom of expression
26. The right for education
This three and probably more rights wer not given to Malala or to the people of her town. This rights were forgotten and they were apart from Malala when she was shot. Although the militants thought this was a lesson for her and for the people that wanted to follow her steps, it wasn't. It was an unfair act. Malala is not the bad one here the Talibans are, and they are making life impossible to so many people that don't deserve it.
