Research Paper On Malala Yousafzai

How Malala Inspires Me
Malala Yousafzai is a girl who put up a fight against the Taliban at a very early age. I personally identify with this as a young person who has been given rights as a result of the American Civil Rights Movement. Although I was not alive during this powerful movement, I realize as an African American male, if the Civil Rights Movement had not occurred, I too would not have equal opportunity to education in America. I wonder if I presented the same circumstances as Malala would I be able to take the same actions as Civil Rights Movement leaders and Malala.
These two powerful movements have many differences and similarities. Malala’s struggle to gain female educational rights occurred in Pakistan between 2011 and 2014. She was attempting to break down a gender barrier between the men and women of her village of Swat, in Pakistan. This was such a hard wall for her tear down was
For example, in both cases, the chances of equal education were difficult due to segregation. There was also harassment due and violence due to this discrimination. “From the earliest times in American history, the U.S. educational system mandated separate schools for children based solely on race” (8). In many instances denial of rights effectively condemned the basic human rights of both African Americans and the women of Pakistan. There are also just as many differences in how rights were restricted in both of these cases. In Pakistan on women were discriminated against whereas in America men and women felt discrimination. Also murder while it did occur was not most common in the civil rights movement whereas in Pakistan the Taliban would kill anyone in their way. Also unlike in Pakistan Africans were allowed to be in public however in Pakistan women were “hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children”
