Instead of girls attending school they would have to stay home and learn how to cook for their brothers and fathers, but he supported women who wanted to become successful in life and not stay illiterate like most women in Pakistan. When Malala was born and was old enough to start understanding that at a certain age girls were prohibited to attend school, he inspired her to stand up and speak up on the issue. At the young age of 12 Malala started writing a blog under a different name when the Taliban's military started attacking school in her area.

Both Malala and her father received death threats because of their views on education. Even with these threats they never stopped speaking out on the issue.
