Malala Yousafzai

You may have heard of Malala. Back a few years ago she was shot by the Taliban for educating young girls under the Pakistani Taliban. This was illegal under Taliban rule. She was targeted and shot in the head/ face for refusing to stop teaching these women. Today she is only 16 and still living. After being shot, she was taken to England for surgery and recovery where she lives now.

Now the Taliban are after her again. She continues to stand up against the Taliban’s beliefs that girls/women should not be educated.  I can’t imagine the courage this teenager has. She was shot in the face before by the Taliban and knows how threatening they can be, but she still continues to stand up for what she believes in.

What do you think about Malala's stance? Do you think her efforts are going to be short-lived or do you think she will start a major social change in the Middle East?
