After reading “Malala Yousafzai’s speech about education, you should realize that everyone deserves to have an education. Everyone also deserves to voice their own opinions. While Yousafzai presents a valid argument discussing the need for “education in Pakistan” in which she aims to get peace, equality and education for every child. She also aims to have everyone’s voice to be heard. Malala Yousafzai’s “Speech on Education United Nations NY, July 12, 2013” is a speech on how she wants to achieve goals of peace, education, and equality. Also, that this is the legacy of change. On October 9th, 2012, the Taliban shot young
Malala on the left side of her forehead, all because they thought it would silence her; they thought wrong. The only thing that changed about Malala was that her weaknesses, fears and hopelessness died, but her strength, power and courage was born. Yousafzai stated that a voice said, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” This is true. That is why they killed 14 innocent students in the recent attack in Quetta. The Taliban is afraid of change and afraid of equality that the people will bring to the society. A journalist asked a school boy, “Why are the Taliban against education?” He simply answered, “A Talib doesn’t know what is written inside the book.” That really says a lot. Malala states that Pashtuns want education for their daughters and sons. Islam says it’s not only each child’s right to get education rather it is their duty and responsibility. Young girls have to do domestic child labor and are forced to get married at an early age. She is focusing on women’s rights & girls’ education because they are suffering the most. Malala suggests to wage a global struggle against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism. They need to pick up your books and pens, because they are the most powerful weapon. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. Education is the only solution. In her article, Yousafzai uses “Malala Day” to use her speech and talk about kids getting education. She thinks everyone deserves to get an education and not just little boys.
