Stories were circulating, except we weren't sure if they were true. There were rumors about how the Taliban treated people, but time passed and nothing changed. When the world began to fall silent, Malala Yousafzai, with all her courage and strength, spoke up. She suffered for it, but she doesn't regret it. Every word she speaks is expressed with concern. She knows that even her small voice can and has changed the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young activist from Swat Valley, Pakistan. In my opinion she is one of the most influential people in the world and that's why I will talk about her struggle, her achievements and what she wants and I will try to change until the day she dies. dead. Before, I talk about Malala. I'm going to talk about the main group that doesn't want Malala to speak and the rules they have enforced in many cities in northwest Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Taliban is an Islamic political movement in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Mullah Mohammed Omar has been the leader of the Taliban since 1994. They formed a government called the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. This government is known diplomatically only in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The Taliban strictly enforce Islamic law and are known for their brutal treatment of women. Some Taliban laws stipulate that men must grow beards and trim mustaches, that Muslim families cannot listen to music, and that all non-Muslims must wear yellow or wear yellow clothing. The Taliban's laws against women include that they must wear a burqa, are not allowed to receive education, must always travel with a male relative, and are not allowed to work . The Taliban are also destroying many schools...... middle of paper ...... 0 most influential people in the world" and received the Peter Gomes Humanitarian Prize from the Harvard Foundation at Harvard University. I truly believe, after writing this essay and reading Malala's book, that she deserves every one of these awards and more. Malala is just one of millions of children who are suffering and want to change the world for the better, except when everyone else was afraid to speak out. , she did it. It's almost impossible to say how she changed the world in a single sentence, but I'll try. She has been an unknown heroine for years and finally she is known all over the world, finally the right to education is a daily topic, finally the world is no longer silent about how the Taliban treat women and finally we can hear her voice, loud and clear, telling us how and what we should do to have a better future and that is how I think Malala Yousafzai changed the world.
