Just over a year ago a school girl in Pakistan named Malala was shot by the Taliban for promoting education for girls. They did not kill her, they birthed a movement. Today the name Malala needs no explanation, she has written a book and on the second annual International Day of The Girl Child today, she met the President and First Lady of the United States of America, and spoke in a webcast live from the World Bank to millions of people around the world. Check out this blog post on ThirdEyeMom to read more about Malala’s incredible Journey and her father’s guiding role.
“terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this — weakness, fear and hopelessness died, strength, power and courage was born.”-Malala
Today, October 11th, the world comes together to celebrate the power of the girl, to give girls a voice, and to raise them to get the education, and rights they deserve.
