Written by Frank Samuelson, Posted on , in Section Essential Reads
Every so often a figure emerges in the news media that actually deserves our attention. The news can be filled with fluff, tabloid sensationalism, distractions and cynical reports from beyond the fringe. Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani girl who rose to prominence, at the age of 11, as an educational activist, asserting the right of women to obtain an education in her home country, where culture forbids the scholastic learning of girls and women. She blogged for the BBC and gave many interviews detailing her struggle throughout her country's recent tumultuous upheaval during war and the increasingly oppressive assault of Taliban fighters to take control of the country and the culture. In 2012 she was shot in the head and neck, in an assassination attempt undertaken by the Taliban, in order to silence her message.
In a world where young girls rarely get the encouragement they need to thrive, Malala's story is an incredible inspiration.
