 * "I do not speak for myself, but to give voice to those who deserve to be heard. Those who have fought for their rights. For their right to live in peace. For their right to be treated with dignity. For their right to equal opportunities. For their right to education".
* "I don't even hate the Taliban who shot me. Even if I had a gun in my hand and he was standing in front of me, I wouldn't shoot him. This is the feeling of compassion I learned from Muhammad, the prophet of mercy, from Jesus Christ and Buddha. This is the drive for change that I inherited from Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Mohammed Ali Jinnah. This is the philosophy of non-violence that I learned from Gandhi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa forgiveness that I learned from my father and my mother is what my soul tells me: stay at peace and love everyone."
* “We realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced.”
* "Islam is a religion of peace, humanity and brotherhood, which says: it is a precise duty to give an education to every child. Peace is necessary for education".
* "We will continue our journey towards our destination of peace and education. No one can stop us. We will raise our voice for our rights and our voice will bring about change. We believe in the power of our words. Our words can change the world, because we are all together, united for the cause of education. And if we want to achieve our goal, let us try to arm ourselves with the weapon of knowledge and shield ourselves with unity and solidarity".
* "We must take up books and pens, because they are the most powerful weapons. A child, a teacher, a book and a pen can change the world."]]> 2024-04-16 14:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2956962426 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2958385783 "A child, a teacher, a book and a pen can change the world"

It's an important quote because education is important to learn, not to be trampled on by the people with power who try ti deprive others of freedom. A person needs to be capable of thinking and dealing with the problems of the life]]> 2024-04-17 10:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2958385783 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2958393680 " I was a little girl, born in a country where, when a boy is born, everyone goes out into the street and shoots in the air, while the girls are hidden behind a curtain, because it's already known that in life their role will simply be that of to feed and bring children into the world. For many Pashtuns, the day a girl is born is a sad day "

It's a quote that represents the chauvinist thought of many countries and highlights the retrograde mentality widespread both among men but also among women, and it's important to remember this because we can't pretend a feminist world if women are against women]]> 2024-04-17 10:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2958393680 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960482600

One of the most footage of the interview was the one on feminism. Watson, in fact, is a proud feminist, as a UN ambassador, she launched the He for she campaign for gender equality last year and gave a brilliant and inspirational speech that did not leave even Yousafzai indifferent and the actress emma watson is famous not only for her acting career but also for her activity in the feminist movement which led to the creation of a fund for justice and equality in the United Kingdom (UK Justice and Equality Fund), managed by Rosa charity.

Feminists are all different, they fight in different ways, but they have the same goal: to ensure equality. ]]> 2024-04-18 16:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960580079 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960816866 Unfortunately, the Taliban are not only in Pakistan, but also in other countries, such as Iran. They want to control women, make them objects and decide how to dress them. They can't go around alone and they cannot go to school or do certain jobs. For them they are just wives and mothers, they have no other importance. They kill or torture the people who don't respect their decisions. Mahsa Amini is an example, a girl who was killed by the Taliban on September 16, 2022 because she did not wear the headscarf well.
When people protested this tragedy, the government blocked the Internet in response to the protests. On the day of the girl's funeral many women took off their headscarves shouting "death to the dictator" as a protest but the police intervened with tear gas to disperse the crowd. 
This episode it also gave rise to a protest on social media, where women from all over the world cut locks of their hair as a symbol of resistance and mourning for all the victims.
This type of protest made the behavior of the Taliban known to many people and shows us the progress of feminism, because we no longer turn a blind eye when these tragedies happen. ]]> 2024-04-18 19:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960816866 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960825741 Among the most famous feminist activists of all time we also find Judy Chicago, an eclectic artist who during the 70s began to make her voice heard by contrasting patriarchy and dealing with topics that were real taboos in those years, such as sexual discrimination, but also sexual harassment and violence.]]> 2024-04-18 19:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960825741 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960828671 2024-04-18 19:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960828671 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960845916 But what does feminism aim for? Certainly equal rights, but it must be specified that everyone must have the same rights, because in the past feminism was considered only for white women. POC (people of color) women were not as present in the spotlight, therefore modern feminism must strive to ensure that all women have equal opportunities with men. Just think of the hatred received by a girl of just 19 years old, due to a "fancast" of the live action film "Rapunzel", which was not even announced by Disney itself. This girl, Avantika, received a lot of hate just for the fact that she was a Southeast Asian actress and that she didn't respect the appearance of the Disney princess in the original story, when in reality the original story is Persian and not German origins, and that all over the world there are very different adaptations of the story. Many girls who insulted this actress define themselves as feminists and absolutely not racist, and this is exactly the problem: instead of being happy that such a young girl is so appreciated that people would like to have her in famous films, they prefer to discredit her for her looks, and all this just for a children's film. We must remember the phrase: girls don't support girls, girls protect girls, because even if you don't like that person, it's unfair that people can hate like that without problems. If women don't help each other, how will the world become feminist?]]> 2024-04-18 20:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960845916 liviacantagallo https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960848766 2024-04-18 20:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/liviacantagallo/kbpyy8drsw70y0vf/wish/2960848766
