How did Malala stand up to
the Taliban to allow
education for female Pakistani?
This is a short Documentary by
Alex Reifsnyder.
This is Malala Yousafzai.
This is Malala and her father, Ziaudinn Yousafzai.
Girls who had lived in Pakistani had less schooling than boys usually, and Malala's father wanted girls to have
the same.
Malala's father opened a school for everyone in the area!
For a few years, girls and boys had been going to school and making friends and being happy.
In 2008, a political movement group called the Taliban had taken over North-West Pakistan and shut down
schools for girls and made sure young women could not got to school and get and education.
But why?
And who are the Taliban?
As a Muslim religion, men were better than women ( which isn't true), therefore
making themselves advantged and look better than they really are
The men favored themselves and called themselves the Taliban (which also means 'students').
They also said they were better than women, (even thou we are all equall).
They took over North-West Pakistan, and
got rid of schools for girls.
One day they were trying to get rid of Malala's fathers school, when they asked who Malala was.
Malala was in a crowd on a bus.
Malala didn't say her name.
This was a bad move, but at least it was good for the future.
Malala was shot and almost killed that day. (Not good)
She was taken "Where the lawns were green and the houses were green."
She wanted to help her country becauses most houses there were not as clean.
She wanted countries like hers not to be as poor.
She is now an education activist
and an activist for  womens rights.
She also spoke at Harvard University and many other places!
She is Malala Yousafzai, and this is how
how she stood up to the Taliban to not only allow education for female Pakistani,
but
but by now
around the world!
