Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani teenager ,was recently shot by the Taliban because she refused to abandon campaigning for girls’ education in the country. According to sources she is now a target for enemies and will have to live under tight security for the rest of her life.

This 15-year-old girl was shot in the head by a Taliban member as she was riding a bus home from school. Right now she being taken care of in a Britain hospital and is recovering quite well. Ever since the attack that occurred in October, there has been a campaign that has been started for her to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Malala has said to her caretakers that she wants to return to her home country of Pakistan, but the Interior Minister Rehman Malik says that she will be a target and it will be quite unsafe for her to return. The Interior Minister has also said that the school that she used to attend in Mingora will still bear her name despite many people protesting that there may be attacks that could occur on the school. There are around 120 students that are protesting and are not attending school; they are also ripping up pictures of Malala Yousafzai to protest the renaming of Sadiu Sharif Girls College to Government P.G Malala Yousufzai. The students have given a three day deadline for the district to change the name of the school because they fear that they might face attack while Malala is completely safe in Britain.

The students say that they want the government to remove everything that bears her name because the Taliban are totally against Malala. They are out to destroy everything that has her name on it, including the girls’ college. Mr. Rehman Malik said that they will not change the name of the school because it is a tribute to honor her courage in the country. Mr. Malik has also said that he is very grateful to the British Government for being so kind and offering to treat her at the Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The doctors there are taking good care of her and will decide when it is appropriate to send her back to Pakistan.

Rehman Malik and the people of Pakistan are hopeful that when she gets better she will be able to move, walk, talk, and live a normal life. The only thing is that she will have to remain under tight security for the rest of her life, for the courageous act that she has committed. Ever since this attack, Malala has not just become popular in Pakistan, but she has gained a reputation as a hero all over the world. She is now an icon for the education of females and a role model for the country of Pakistan. This 15-year-old girl has shown a lot of courage that much older individuals are not even able to accomplish, and this is why she is an icon for many Pakistanis.

To the world who has gathered all of its attention to the cause which a young brave girl is advocating, I ask, why is it always too late to shed light on the grave problems which the Pakistani society faces?

Malala Yousafzai, a brave 14-year-old girl, who was shot by the Taliban, is spotted fighting the toughest battle at a tender age.

Malala Yousafzai stood up for the cause of girls’ education in the Swat valley, Pakistan, after the Taliban had banned the further education of girls. It was this little angel’s courage that was noticed and heard across the world, when she vented out her emotions on the atrocities of the Taliban.

Writers assess the already adverse situation prevailing in Pakistan relating to radicalism and explain the Malala Yousafzai episode as an extension of the Taliban mindset. Earlier, there have been several incidents and, sadly, the government of Pakistan failed to accomplish its parameters in this regard. We are at sheer discomfort with sprawling attacks every now and then by the Taliban. Why do we always blame the Taliban factor? Is it the easy method of passing the buck?

Salman Taseer, was penetrated with 27 bullets when he spoke up against the lawlessness against the minorities in Pakistan. Although many politicians supported him on this cause, they backed-off after his murder. How can we change as a society when we are too afraid to stand up against our grave problems?

We should be ashamed of not building up the courage to bring down the root causes. The whole society, individually or collectively, fails to look at the pertaining issues. Today, the matter of terrorism is the cancer of our society, which is brutally killing the minds and hearts of the people. We are so afraid to stand up or speak out and have no courage to admire or even support our own souls. Malala Yousafzai, who was not the product of our society produced the courage in her, despite a number of threats from left, right and center. Far less privileged, as compared to rest of the people of Pakistan who are technologically advanced and well secure, she didn’t let the element of courage leave her.

Her father, speaking to the media, said lately that surgeons in Pakistan worked for days to save her life after removing a bullet from her neck. Mr. Yousafzai said he was grateful for all their efforts.

“The way they saved my daughter was miraculous,” he said. He said he had stayed in daily contact with medical staff in Birmingham, but had not yet been able to speak to his daughter.

“She is all right. She is improving day by day, inshallah,” he said. “It has been difficult not being with her but at least we knew she was getting better.”

Malala Yousafzai has written a new chapter in the world’s book with her courage and belief in herself; she has achieved galore prayers to fight through this challenge.

Malala Yousafzai has once again gathered the world’s attention to her cause.  Malala Yousafzai, an education activist, was shot by a gunman in Mongora while she was traveling back home. Malala Yousafzai got her head shot by a single bullet which pierced down her neck. Today, Malala Yousafzai travels to UK for the treatment of her skull and is surely going through a crucial stage.

Malala Yousafzai maintained her diary on BBC website, her eloquence and passion in her ideas about Pakistan, Pakistani Taliban and the common people have been of a greater interest for the world. She is restless, brave and courageous who stood up for the people and declared clearly that her aim of life is to serve the humanity.

Malala Yousafzai has never been held down by any failures.  Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate, announced the five nominees for the International Children’s Peace Prize 2011 in Cape Town. The prize is an initiative of the Dutch organization Kids Rights and was launched by Kids Rights during the 2005 Nobel Peace Laureates’ Summit chaired by Mikhail Gorbachev. And Malala Yousafzai was nominated amongst 98 children of the world.

This peace award is given to the child who has the biggest contribution to society at a very small age. The child who is not only aware of the social problems but also devotes his attention and takes initiative for the purpose and so on. Malala yousafzai although, made it to the list of nominees but failed to win.

Malala yousafzai was high in her spirits and said about the winner, “I am happy for Michaela for winning the prize as she is a special child and is already working for the disabled children,” adding “In fact, I couldn’t even stop my tears while seeing Michaela receiving the prize as it was hard for her to hold the prize due to her being a disabled child”. She said, “Though I believe that all the five nominees were deserving children, still had the prize been awarded to any of them then I might have felt bad and a question would have arisen in my mind of being discriminated but now I am glad that none other than Michaela won it.” “In fact, I still feel honored to be nominated for the award and for me it’s just a beginning as real journey of achieving my goal has yet to be started,”  (TN Malala,12)

This was the positivity that didn’t shake her from her mission and Malala continued to speak up for the girls rights in the Swat region. She said, “I had realized the importance of education during the period when the militants had taken hold of the less developed area Swat and destroyed most of the girls’ schools and colleges.” (TN Malala,12)

Malala Yousafzai is a courageous girl and the symbol of courage in Pakistan and the rest of the world. Who would have thought that a small 14-year-old girl would create a stir in the world when she’d be attacked by the Taliban

Malala Yousafzai is a young girl living in swat, Pakistan. Malala has always had high dreams about herself and Pakistan. Living in an area which was haunted by Taliban rule, Malala always spoke up against the brutal lawlessness promoted by Taliban. It was 2005 when on FM radio, a message was sent across the Swat Valley that no girl shall be allowed to study further or would go to school, and those who’ll do it will themselves be responsible for the consequences.  Malala Yousafzai always wanted to study further to become a doctor. This ambition helped her to stand up and raise her voice.

The New York Times picked her story, and “Class Dismissed in Swat valley” and “A School Girls Odyssey” were two documentaries published by the New York Times on the story of the brave girl Malala.

Right from the age of 13, Malala Yousafzai maintained a blog on BBC website and created awareness about the atrocities of the Tehrik-e-Taliban and extremist. Malala Yousafzai already had many feathers in her hat, she was the first Pakistani girl to be nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize. South African Nobel laureate Desmund Tutu announced the nominations during a 2011 ceremony in Amsterdam, Holland, Malala Yousafzai got her nomination again, although she didn’t win it but surely made her presence felt across the world in terms of raising her agenda which was the protection of her own people from the atrocities of Tehrik-e-Taliban and extremists. She also received the first ever honorable award of National Peace by the government and was nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize by the advocacy group, KidsRights Foundation, in 2011.

Nothing harmed Malala Yousafzai, who after losing the prize, was still in high spirits and said that she was equally happy for Micheala, as Micheala is a disabled child and her efforts for the disabled have been great.

Malala became the only voice of the girls in swat, she was the activist for the education of girls and She said, “I had realized the importance of education during the period when the militants had taken hold of the less developed area Swat and destroyed most of the girls’ schools and colleges,” she added that it was the right time to make a commitment to raising the voice for girls education. “My aim is actually not only to promote girls education but also to establish a forum where kids who work as domestic servants could get education as I have come across many children who do want to go to schools but their families financial constraints have deprived them,” (the News,12)

Today, Malala Yousafzai is fighting the toughest battle of her life after being attacked by the Taliban; this courageous soul is immensely needed by Pakistan and will definitely bring change into the society.
