Hate her ALL you want, you gotta admit one thing – Malala Yousafzai is an unstoppable powerhouse. Time and again, she’s proven to be the face of reform in the world. Rising against the odds, Malala isn’t just a university-going student anymore. She’s a symbol of hope and power.
When she’s not busy chilling with celebrities…
…or making a difference in the lives of young girls…
…OR partnering with freakin’ Apple, of all companies…
…she’s busy giving some AMAZING speeches.
Malala attended the World Economic Forum held in Davos recently.
She spoke about numerous things at the event. Speaking on current issues in the West, like the #MeToo or Time’s up movements, she encouraged women to keep speaking up. Moreover, she highlighted how women can no longer rely on men to fight their battles.
Here’s a statement by Malala from the event:
“First we wanted men to do something for us but that time has gone now. We are not going to ask men to change the world. We are going to do it ourselves. We are going to stand up for ourselves and we are going to raise our voices and we are going to change the world. I really encourage any women or girls to speak out against any discrimination and any violence that they see in their community and in their society”
You’d think that’s it, right? Inspiring enough? But no, here’s where it gets GLORIOUS.
Malala didn’t just speak up for women. She also spoke up against men who hold back women. And what better example is there of the same than the current President (I know, still don’t buy it) of The United States – Donald Trump.
Here’s what she had to say about Trump bhai:
“I get so disappointed to see that people in these high positions openly talk against women, do not accept women as equals, they harass women. It is just shocking to think that it is happening. I hope that women stand up and speak out against it. I hope that people who are involved in such shameful things think about their own daughters, their own mothers, their own close female relations, and just imagine for a second, could they let it happen to them. I don’t think they would accept that.”
Malala’s speech has spread like wildfire. It’s EVERYWHERE.
In fact, humarey fav Trudeau bhai ne bhi unki tareef ki hai.
Even people back home are saluting her bravery.
Khair, here’s a video of Malala Yousafzai being awesome and making Pakistan proud.
And to all the naysayers who still think Malala is yahoodi saazish, yeh lo:
