In 2012, a teenage activist for girls’ rights to education in Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai, was shot in the head by Taliban bullies trying to force an end to education for girls and women. Malala was only 14 years old. Miraculously she recovered from her deadly wounds, and July 12, 2013 she addressed the Youth Assembly at the United Nations. Trust me, this speech is awe inspiring. I almost wept while listening to it. If you have not had a chance to hear it, we offer the speech in its entirety. Blessings, Lynn Feinerman Producer, Women Rising Radio project.
