In this post, I want to talk about something I heard on the news: Malala
Yousafzai. You've probably heard of her already, as she's very famous
now, after she was attacked by the Taliban. I was just really struck by
her bravery, how she stood up against the the Taliban, demanding that
girls go to school in Pakistan through her blog.
And I'm not the only one who is amazed by her bravery, as she is loved and respected world wide for her rebellion against the Taliban. She has received loads of get well soon cards with encouraging messages from people all over the world. People are absolutely disgusted by the Taliban's actions. They are horrified that they would shoot a 14 year old school girl who just wanted equality and education for girls, and so am I. She was just speaking out and thinking in a more modern way than them, and it was really cruel and horrible of them to do that. I am so glad she is getting better, and hope that she is fully recovered very soon. Do you have anything you'd like to say on this topic? Then please leave a comment, as I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Here is a link to her blog:
