CONCLUSIONIn October 2012, the Pakistani Taliban attempted to kill Malala Yousafzai, a young woman known throughout Pakistan for her outspoken support for women's rights, particularly their right to education. Fighting for women's rights could be a dangerous business in countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan, where brutal Islamist radicals have a strong and reliable balance.

While addressing the need for peace and education, I Am Malala emphasizes that gender equality and equal empowerment of all women and men, boys and girls, are essential for a better world. The solution to many social and political problems begins with education for all. “One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education first”! The question remains whether women in Islam are submissive or liberated.?
