Malala Struggles for Children Rights

When Taliban started banning girls from going schools in Swat back in 2009, she was among the
girls who were banned from going to school and thus she's educational career affected at that
time. She didn't go to school for many days when military operation was also about to start in
the Swat valley back in 2009. At that time, she wrote a diary named "Gul Makai" for the British
Broad Casting (BBC) website. She wrote her 15 episodes diary with very interesting end.

She wrote about the circumstances was going on in Swat valley in her diary. Later on, when
peace was restored in Swat region, she appeared on many TV channels and her articles and
statements were published by many local and international newspapers.

Except that diary, she also struggled for the peace restoration in Swat as well as she worked with
other girls to get all of them back to school. She openly talked about the militants Taliban who
were threatening the women in the region and especially they were against women's education.
And Malala became a real problem for them for so many years.

In 2011, she was nominated for the international children peace prize by Desmond Tutu. She was
didn't receive that prize but it was her honor that she was among the nominated 3 children from
around the world who were present over there. Though, she got many national awards and
prizes by Pakistani Government and local NGOs for her bravery.

9 October 2012 Malala was attacked

9 October was the darkest day for entire Pakistan and for the entire world. Malala Yousafzai was
attempt to assassinate in Mingora Swat when she was coming back from School to home. She
was attacked by two gunmen in her school bus when she was on the way to home with other
friends. She was fired on the head and the bullet went inside her neck and stuck there. The
incident sparked the whole country in minutes and she was first taken to Saido sharif in Swat for
urgent treatment, but later on she was shifted to Peshawar and then to Rawalpindi.

THE STORY IS STARTS FROM WHERE SHE TOLD TO INTERVIEW

Ma! Ma! They are fighting again, the bad men, they are going towards Malalas school,Manu
shouted while running towards his house.He panted as he ran.

O!Allah help us, Ma begged.

What happened? What is all this noise about! Can't someone pray in peace?shouted baba
from inside the house.

The Taliban are going to destroy another school of girls, Ma informed.

O Allah save us from these devils who kill people and destroy places of education on your
name,he replied.

Malala was a girl of about seven years who wanted to become a doctor in the future and for this
she was studying very hard.Malalas family lived in a village located in Swat.For some months the
Taliban had come in Swat and they were demolishing the girls schools.

Whats that noise? What happened Manu? Why are you shouting and look!You are
panting.Why? asked Malala who had just come from her friends house after studying.
Sis do you know the Taliban are destroying your school, said Manu.

What! no.I know you are just pulling my leg Manu, replied Malala.

No, Malala. Manu is right.They are really destroying your school, said Ma.There were tears
rolling down Malalas cheeks.She was crying bitterly.

Baba (Father) why don't you do something about it, wept Malala.

We cant my dear, we can't,replied baba (Father).

Malala was disappointed by this reply.Just then Yousaf uncle showed up.He was coming towards
them.

Ibrahim!Ibrahim! Ghazi Sahib is going to the girls school to stop them wrecking it .Some other
men are also going with him. Do you want to come? he shouted. .

Baba (Father) please go,Malala requested.

Alright, lets go.

When they reached there,the school was almost down.

There were about fifteen Taliban and thirty-five men opposing them.

Stop doing these things,Ghazi Sahib exclaimed.

For what? You people are mad,sending girls to school. Astaghfirrulah.Don't you know that girls
should not be educated?replied one of the Talibans.

Where is it written? Show us.In the Quran?Ghazi Sahib asked in anger.

Shut up you fools.Do you want women to have victory over us by studying,another man
shouted back.

Lets go back brothers, its no use talking to them, Ghazi Sahib said and turned back. Only
Allah can help us now.

While they were going back the Taliban made fun of them by raising slogans against the
education of girls.

However,all of them did not know the fact that Allah wanted every human being to be educated.

The next day Manu came running with an exciting news.He said,Sis,Sis listen.The T.V people
have come here.They are talking about your school and they are finding any girl who belongs to
it.

Oh Ma Ma please may I go,Malala asked. I wish to ask them to stop the Taliban.

But,

What Ma?

I was saying

Yes yes

Aa..alright go, Ma replied in a worried tone.

But why are you not happy? Malala asked.

Think about the village people.What will they say?

Ma they have always said that. Should we give up hope. We have an opportunity.

Hurry up sis or they'll go back, Manu shouted.

Im going Ma, Malala said and ran full speed.

The news reporter was standing near Malalas school. Malala went near and said,I am from
Swat Elementary School For Girls.

Oh! You have come here.I want to ask you some questions,the reporter said.What is your
name?

My name is Malala Ibrahim,she said.

Tell us something about you.

I am seven years old and study in class three.I want to become a doctor in the future.I love
studying and I want to study hard so that I can make my parents proud. But now they have
destroyed my school and I cant go there.

At this she started to cry.

What will you like to say to the government of Pakistan? the reporter asked.
I would request them to stop these people so that I can study for the country.

This report was being seen by almost five million people of Pakistan including the Taliban.

How dare she say this on television,said one of them.

We will have to do something about it,said another.

The next part is that,.Malala Yousafzai was returning from school as usual when she heard
shouts.Then suddenly there was a blast.She was attacked! Just because she had come on T.V.The
blast was so strong that Malala went into comma and the doctors said that if she didnt recover
then she would die.The news was spread in the whole village and whole Pakistan.Soon the
whole Pakistan was praying for her.Malalas friends told that Malala said that it was her wish that
the people of the village re-build the school. Everyone wanted to fulfil her wish.They
remembered her sad face on T.V.When by the grace of Allah she recovered what she saw was a
miracle.She saw that the people who had once been afraid of the Taliban, were making a school!
She thanked Allah. Surely, your world is only that you create yourself.

She was given Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
