Malala and the Taliban only had a couple things in common, like how they are both Muslim and how they both believe in Allah. Besides this they have completely different world views. The Taliban believe that girls should not have an education and stay at home. Whereas, Malala believes that girls education is very important. The Taliban and Malala both expressed their opinions very strongly and believed what they are doing is right. Malala had to deal with the Taliban’s worldview for quite a while before she knew that she had to make a difference and make them see her worldview, because of her bravery the outcome of the situation has changed tremendously and benefited many girls.

Malala is inspiring to many girls all over the world including myself. At the age of 14 girls are usually worrying about what to wear and how they look, but Malala is not like other girls, as she stood up to the Taliban about girl’s education. She has inspired me through her bravery and how she fights for what she believes in. One of my favourite quotes that Malala wrote in her book is “I told myself, Malala, you have already faced death. This is your second life. Don’t be afraid – if you are afraid, you can’t move forward”. This is my favourite quote as it has changed my worldview, by telling me that I should not be afraid of anything because being afraid is holding me back.

From researching and reading about Malala’s story I appreciate that I can go to school and have an education. I value that I am able to go to school everyday and learn for future careers. Malala has accomplished so much in her 17 years of living and I am excited to see what she has planned for the future years to come.

While fighting for the rights of females to gain an education, Malala offended the Taliban. The Taliban is a rebellious Islamic group that controls 90 percent of Afghanistan. The Taliban did not like Malala standing up to them so they decided to send a message by shooting her in the face, to warn anyone else what would happen if they stand against them. As Malala recovered she proved to the Taliban and everyone else that she was strong and continued to fight for what she believed in. She stated “I don’t mind if have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is an education. And I’m afraid of no-one.” This quote proves that she will fight for what she believes in no matter what happens.

Malala stood up for girl’s education and took personal risks as she wanted to benefit others all around the world. Malala did not want any harm to come towards those who stood up against the Taliban and put themselves in harms way, she just wanted people to listen and acknowledge the inequality of what is happening. Malala took the risk to stand up against the Taliban and in result she got shot in the head. But this did not stop her. After her recovery, she continued to take the risk and transformed the situation by publicly speaking, forming charities and continuing to make a change.

Malala challenged what was going on in her world by standing up for the right for girls to have an education. Although she got shot in the head by the Taliban she still continues to speak for all the girls around the world that don’t have a voice, but are at a disadvantage because they don’t have an education. What she did was very brave and because of her accomplishments at 17 years old she was the youngest Nobel peace prize winner ever, which proved to everyone that standing up for what you believe in can make a difference.

Malala Yousafzai was born on the 12th of July, 1997 in Mingora, Pakistan. After Malala was born, her hometown was a popular tourist place for a few years but that soon changed as the Taliban took over.

As the Taliban took over they threatened any girls that went to school as they didn't believe that school was meant for girls. Malala’s opinion differed as she believed that everyone should have the right to have an education, so because of her beliefs she decided to advocate for girls’ education. When Malala found out that the Taliban were attacking girls that attended school, she gave a speech in Peshawar, Pakistan. In her speech she stated "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to have an education", which I believe inspired many girls to fight for their rights. As a result of being a truly radical change agent, Malala was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012 and remained in critical condition for several months. However, this did not change how she felt towards the subject. The shooting resulted in a massive outburst of support towards her as people realised that what she is standing up for is important. After her recovery she gave a speech in 2013 at the United Nations on her sixteenth birthday. Despite the threats from the Taliban she still inspires people and is one of the most popular truly radical change agents.
