Malala Yousafzai – The Girl Who Was Shot for Wanting to Go to School
Starting from August 2021, with the withdrawal of US troops and the Taliban's complete control over Afghanistan, the previous shackles returned to the Afghan people. For 14 million women, it can be said that they are inching closer to hell...
One year after the Taliban regained control, they started to impose rules that girls could only attend school up to the sixth grade. After elementary school, they had to stay at home and were not allowed to go out alone. When outside, they had to be accompanied by a male elder from their family; otherwise, they would be whipped on the streets. High schools were banned, and in December last year, they went a step further by banning university entrance exams. At the beginning of 2023, they ordered that women could not work in non-profit organizations. Most NGOs take care of vulnerable groups, such as children's and women's healthcare. The Taliban strictly prohibit any contact between men and women, so once there are no female workers, the female beneficiaries will also lose those who help them...
Within a month of the order being issued, three international NGO organizations had closed. How many children might lose their lives as a result?
Malala, a girl from the mountains of Pakistan, was shot at the age of 15 for protesting against the Taliban's deprivation of girls' right to education. Fortunately, she was promptly sent to the UK for medical treatment, not only saving her life but also strengthening her resolve. Malala decided to let the whole world know how girls in Taliban-controlled areas were losing their right to education. She wanted to use her example to show girls that they could change their destiny. With a pen, a book, a teacher, and a student, they could change the world!
You might have heard of her, this brave woman who won the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17. But for this episode, you must listen! Share Malala's story; it's not just one girl's story but the story of 14 million, of countless women...
