Malala
Yousafzai:
Speaking for women’s rights
Emma Howard and Abril Butler
We worked a couple days when we started NHD looking at sources that related to the topic of women’s rights. We were engaged in the topic of women’s rights because we wanted to know who cares for women’s rights, and is there anyone who is able to fights for women’s rights without backing down. While skimming the sources, we found Malala Yousafzia. When we saw some of her quotes, such as “I don't mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I'm afraid of no one.” We knew that this was the perfect topic for us.
Later after researching a little bit about Malala, we went to go get magazines to learn more about her from a primary source. In order to authorize our research route, our number one goal was to determine who Malala is, what she is doing for women’s rights, and why she relates to the topic that we are looking for. So we went to the school library because we wanted to find a true primary source. We found the perfect book “I am Malala” because it was written by Malala herself. As we started reading the book, helpful information just flowed into our minds. But as the story kept going on, it changed the idea that we had in mind. With the change of idea came a struggle. We had to redirect ourselves of what we are reading and come up with a new idea.
After the research stage, we had to group the key information of what kind of presentation our project would work best with. So, we decided to create a website about Malala Yousafzia. With all the information we got, we had all the most crucial information into a six page website, to illustrate the interesting information of our topic.
Malala Yousafzia relates to the theme, because she is a young woman who just had the rights of music, dancing, and personal liberties such as education for girls taken away from her. She is now traveling around the world giving speeches about why there should be women’s educational rights. But it is also her responsibility to not give up, but to keep doing what she’s doing and to fight for women’s educational rights. But not just in Pakistan, but all around the world where schooling for girls is forbidden.
