Girl’s Education, and Its Toll on the World.

Girl’s education is a serious topic, especially in the modern world. Many teen activists have researched on the issue. They have spoken out in public, or just plainly felt strongly on the topic, themselves. Millions of people feel strongly that girl’s education should be allowed, and countries who don’t allow it are not thinking hard enough. Many famous teen activists like Malala Yousafzai, have been criticized for their words. But, they did not give up on their words.

On the Global Campaign for Education, many articles state that girl’s education, is a controversial issue, that is widely spread in many countries around the world. Although, it may seem like a small thing to many people, almost 66 million girls are not given the gift of education. The stereotyped image of a girl is to clean, marry at a young age, and care for children. It is as if, there is no given purpose for a female in the world, except to care for a household. Many people do not understand what women can do, if they were given their deserved education. The topic has left a lot of school girls more appreciative for their education. What you call a boring waste of time and knowledge, another child calls a luxury!

What Have People Done to Stop the Deprivation of Girl’s Education?

Many people, especially teenagers themselves, have done so much to stop this! On the Huffington Post, a group of teenage girls have made funds and organizations to stop this. They have been widely appreciated, and have left many people baffled. Many activists have been inspired by the one and only Malala! Malala Yousafzai is a world renowned icon known for her incredible words on education, and her thoughts against the Taliban. The Taliban is a terrorist group in Pakistan, which looks down on girl’s education.On Glamour magazine, Malala was elected as woman of the year. She was only known by the world as Gul Makai, a pen name for a girl who shared strongly about her opinions about how girls are being deprived of their education. Malala said at her Nobel Peace prize winning, “The word Malala, means grief stricken; sad. But in order to learn some happiness to it, my grandfather would always call me Malala, the happiest girl in the world!”

She also proves that an Indian and a Pakistani can work together to make the world a better place. India and Pakistan are not really countries that agree with each other. But the border can be broken. Malala was shot in the head because of her thoughts. But she fought with feeling and not fists! Malala is the voice of millions of uneducated children!

On a blog entirely dedicated to Malala, Malala receives the Sakharov prize, which is the biggest human rights prize in Europe. She was also the youngest person to receive it. Her career started as words to her loved ones, stretched to interviews about her opinions, and to an entire nation at her recovery. She has gone through a lot in life, but she has more and more to accomplish. Her famous saying is “One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world!” it means that so much can be accomplished with the most simple things. Education should not be taken for granted. It Is not a gift either. Education is a purpose. Those hours of studying and endless lessons are merely the strands of thread forming your future.

There is only one goal: Education for all !
