Malala’s Revolution
It is not often recognized that women of a certain class in Pakistan are receiving the kind of education that enables them to enter the modern sectors of the economy or to become entrepreneurs. In education, numbers make a revolution. The extremists understand that, which is why they tried to kill 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai.
ISLAMABAD – The men who attempted to kill 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai on October 9 knew what she represented. Her active involvement since the age of eleven in campaigning for the rights of girls in her region to be educated was well known.
