An educated female population is more threatening to Pakistan then a large army with a lot of weapons. Malala, a Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by a Taliban soldier wanted to experience education like all the other young girls of her age in other countries. Pashtuns is one of the main culture in Pakistan.There is a myth in their culture that women should not be educated.I believe that there are other million girls out there in the world who are also not provided education.Prents should,whatever their religion or culture,must enrol their children in schools if they are able to afford it.Education is the only wealth that does not perish but grows and spreads.Women must also not be considered as second-class citizens.They should also be given a say in the parliament and in politics.These Pakistanis who are against educated women should understand that these women will benefit their country economically and socially and are not a threat. Keeping a country's population uneducated will only cause an increase in crimes, unemployment and in turn cause chaos. The future of Pakistan will be a question if such saddening issues of gender inequality and uneducated population are raised.

Minority

There are many minority religions that are not recognized in Indonesia. In Indonesia, their religions are placed on their identity card. However, those belong to a minority religion or without any religion will be placed randomly under the four mainly recognized religion in the country. I feel that Indonesia's government should do something to help those without a religion or belong to a minority religion. They should not be discriminated just because of what they believe in. I feel that there is no right or correct in the religion you believe in. As for the column in the identity card, I think the government should not have such a system if not all religions, regardless of how minor it is, can be found in the

    The Taliban has completely banned education for women entirely, because they are threatened by the fact that educated women could potentially have the power to act against them. In many situations, this extremist group has blown up hundreds of schools that allows girls to attend, and believe that educating girls is against the law. Malala, her love for education, and her immense amount of courage, has allowed her to stand up and fight against the Taliban, even if it meant…

    With Pakistan, the Taliban did not want women having an education for any reason. In fact, they had used violence on anyone who spoke against their words. The shift from no education to education for women is changing ever so slowly, but it's there. An increasing amount of Pakistanis are now supporting the idea of education for women. On the down side, the quality of education that they are receiving remains low, due to the fact that the government isn't fully committed to this new shift.…

    In the book, “I am Malala” the author Malala, had many purposes she stressed to portray while writing her story. One of the purposes is to prove her audience to achieve certain goals; one must work hard to reach them. Another purpose she was trying to attain was to demonstrate to everyone how important it is for girls to get an education and girls to not be treated indifferently. The purpose that stood out the most was her attention towards education for girls and rights for women. “It means we want to make decisions for ourselves. We want to be free to go to school or to go to work. Nowhere is it written in the Quran that a woman should be dependent on a man” (Yousafzai). Girls are universally looked down upon. Numerous of diversified societies…

    One major recurring theme that is evident in both Stones into Schools and The Miseducation of Pakistan is the suppression of women. Both works discussed how women in the region had traditionally been discouraged from attending school or entering the workplace. The Taliban was especially opposed to women’s rights. When the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, one of the first things they did was close every girls’ school and university (Stones into Schools p.74). Over 100,000 elementary school girls and 8,000 female university students were forbidden from attending their schools. Women were only allowed to leave their homes if they were with a close male relative and they had to wear a blue burka. If a woman showed her ankles she could have been whipped. While Pakistan didn’t have some of the cruel laws imposed on women during the Taliban’s regime in Afghanistan, women were still viewed as lesser than men. Many girls were forced by their parents to stop attending school (The Miseducation of Pakistan). Both Stones into Schools and The Miseducation of Pakistan make note of this. Mortenson tells of how a woman was told by her own mother that “women should work instead of reading books” and that “books will poison your mind you will become a worthless wife and mother” (Stones into Schools p.4). Unfortunately, as a result of this mind set, extremists are still able to gather recruits to join jihads. Women’s literacy in these regions has been shown to decrease the number of people that follow the extremists (Stones into Schools p. 13).…

    Their constitution and laws is majorly influenced by their religion. In 1996, when the Taliban group overruled the government, the laws of women’s rights became more stricter and rebelled against their constitution. They declared that women’s education was illegal under the Shariah which is the Islamic law (Akram). The specific laws and ideas that the Taliban forced onto Pakistan were designed and intended to keep women out of public life. The ideology and lifestyle impacted women on a high level.…

    The Taliban does not want girls to go to school because they believe that girls will become too powerful. They don't want girls to become more powerful because they are known to think boys have more rights than girls. And that's not true girls are human just as much as boys and you can't help with you are and you can't change it. When women stand up people think it brave but nothing changes for them.

    I think that education for everyone is fair. In the movie, “He Named Me Malala,” Malala told us how she got shot by the terrorist group. She got shot because she was standing out for girls’ education. She thought that girls’ should have equal right to education like boys. In the article, “In Pakistan, A Self Styled Teacher Holds Class for one hundred fifty in a Cowshed,” the kids are crammed in a little “school”. The kids don’t get the same education as us. In the U.S we have nice schools and all genders are allowed to attend school. In the movie, “He Names Me Malala,” a terrorist group didn’t want girls to go to school. So Malala spoke up. In the article, “In Pakistan, A Self Styled Teacher Holds Class for one hundred fifty in a Cowshed,”…

    The constitution of India not only guarantees basic human rights as fundamental rights but also prohibits all kind of discriminatory practices, in any forms. There are progressive laws and human right redress mechanisms and institution, but these are not effectively implemented. The mindset of the supporters of discriminatory practices has yet to be changed. Laws are blatantly violated; perpetrators of crimes against Muslims and Dalits are often hand in glove with agents of the state. All of this constitutes a major challenge to India’s claims of being a democracy.…
