In these times, in all civilised countries governments and civic organisations strive for the educations of all, boys and girls, men and women. The right to education is respected by all and people are doing their best to uplift women socially who have been victims for thousands of years of gender discrimination and servile existence.
Even in the third world countries, most of people recognise the
importance of the education of girls, As a result, we all witness some
good progress made in the positive direction. Unluckily, there are also
some people in traditional societies who oppose the social uplift of
women in society. They want to keep women tied to the old customs and
traditions. The only justification for their opposition to women's
education and their adamant opposition to the equality of opportunities
to women in all walks of life as full human beings is rooted in deep
ignorance and the patriarchal norms of male domination. Somehow, such
people also misuse religion for their vicious struggle against women's
worthy existence.
As I see it, all sane people in Pakistan feel proud that a young girl, Malala Yousafzai, who became a victim of violence at the hands of some ignorant terrorists but recovered and has stood for the right to education of all girls. She is a brave girl. What she stands for is in the best traditions of the heroic figures who become symbols for humane causes and people’s struggles.
The reactionaries and ignorant people have their mentors, their barbarian perspectives and their terrorist methods. But the people who want to see a third world society where both men and women can contribute to social progress and universal norms of civilised behaviour see the work of Malala Yousufzai as an inspiration and a way forward.
