I had the pleasure to read the book “I am Malala” about a year ago. I couldn’t immagine a 16 years old girl would have been so inspiring for me.
Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani girl, who stood up for female education, in a country where women have very few rights. She started running a blog when she was only 11 years old, to tell the people how hard life is under the Taliban occupation. Malala wanted the world to know that there are places like her beloved Valley, where education is banned for girls.
On 9 October 2012, Malala was shot 3 times, she remained unconscious and in critical condition for weeks.
Her story is not unique. Her story is the same of other 66 MILION children all around the world. What makes Malala so special is her courage! Her attitude to fight for human rights and the light in her eyes.
This year, she was given a Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle against the suppression of children and for the right of all young people to education.
Today, she keeps fighting for these rights and her message is so full of love and hope.
Let this be the last time that we see a child deprived of education.
Let this end with us.
