A small Pakistani girl might be awarded with the International peace award. She is nominated with four other girls and today we will know who is winning this extraordinary price. Yousufzai with only 13 years old has already fought against the Taliban. They have imposed a ban on education for girls in Swat Valley, and they have also banned watching the Indian serial 'Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat'. Yousufzai has stood up for her rights by writing about her pain and anguish in a diary for BBC Urdu online.
Yousufzai is an example of courage, bravery and maturity, taking into account that with only 13 years old, her story has already been heard in the whole world. Her actions are extremely important and relevant not only today but also for the coming years. She has been able to face an issue that even governments fear to do. Furthermore, this claim will help not only to get education back in her valley, but also, it will serve as an example to other people who are living the same situation. If her claims get a response and an action from the government, this would be an incentive for other people to rebel against these kinds of acts of injustice and to claim for their rights in the same way. Maybe we all should learn from this brave girl who dares to face a terrible situation that a lot of people is living, and what is more, a lot of people are watching in silence, but unfortunately, she is the only one claiming what she believes is fair.

Isa I think your article is really interesting. In today´s world it is very difficult to find brave and courageous persons as this little girl. People like Yousufzai is necessary in this world, if we suffer or we see any kind of injustice we have to tell it, we have to fight, we have to argue. Like this little girl who decided to write to the diary for BBC. Congratulations to this girl. It makes me proud.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you both.I think what she did was really courageous and it is difficult to find that kind of strength in those kind of situation, does not matter if your a child or an adult, so she has even more merit. In my opinion those acts should be rewarded and internationally recognized and applauded. We should all encourage people to stand for their ideas and fight against what hurts.
