Malala Advocates Girls Education
February 15, 2016
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
-Maya Angelou

"12 years of free, safe, quality education for every girl by 2030." That is the goal of Malala Yousafzai, youngest-ever Nobel Prize winner as expressed in The World in 2016, the annual report of the Economist. In her article, "Girls with Goals", she observes...

"If girls are educated everyone benefits. Girls develop the confidence and skills to make decisions about their lives and contribute fully to their communities. Yet in many parts of the world girls are offered little more than basic literacy and numeracy, even though secondary education is what provides wings for girls to fly....

"As I write about these new global goals, I am also thinking of friends from Syria who now take lessons as refugees in Lebanon and Jordan, the girls who escaped Boko Haram in Nigeria and are still determined to learn, and girls in Pakistan and Kenya who have the chance to go to high school for the first time.

"My sisters inspire me to keep going. We know that we are part of something bigger. We will unlock our power. In 2016, our voices will be heard."
