Introduction Boys' and girls' have never been allowed the same freedom for a long, long time, even to this day. One of the most important things, however, is education, which is something that both boys' and girls' should both be allowed. People all around the world should know more about this and how girls' feel, and the permissions that boys' and girls' are given.
Boys' should know how girls' feel The first example of girls' vs boys' education rights is that boys' should know how girls' feel.

Boys', on the other hand don’t have to deal with this, they can just keep living their normal lives. The next example of how boys' should feel is that parents will most likely, if given the choice, send boys' to school. Boys' should know how this feels because that means that even the parents are not being fair to their daughters. They are not hopeful that they will get an education or that they will get a high paying job, unlike they are with their sons. The final example of how boys' should feel is being attacked for having an education or for standing up for girls' education, like Malala. In the article, “Malala The Powerful,” by Kristen Lewis, it states, “Who is Malala? One of the gunmen demanded….. The gunmen opened fire.” This means that the gunmen started shooting Malala and her friends while they were on the bus. One of the bullets went through the side of Malala’s head and nearly killed her. The reason why the Taliban did this was because Malala stands up for girls' education. They do not think that girls' should have the right to an education so they …show more content…

Girls' deserve the same rights and education as boys', they should not have to hide their books and be home by 7pm while boys' have all the freedom in the world.

The aim of this paper is to draw out the implications of liberal feminist framework for the analysis of education. Doing this paper will discuss its conceptual basis, its typical educational objectives, strategies for change and criticism of the approach. Feminist theoretical framework addresses the question of women’s subordination to men: how this arose, how and why it is perpetuated, how it might be changed and (sometimes) what life would be without it. Middle range theories may be less dramatic and consider particular aspect of gender relation and specific sectors of life such as education, the family or politics. Feminist theories serve a dual purpose, as guides to understanding gender inequality and as a guide to action.

The origin of Malala Yousafzai’s call to change start when the Taliban started to get rid of girls’ education and rights. The Taliban, a terrorist group that took control of the Swat Valley, inflicted laws that reduced a woman’s rights to be only half of a man’s and laws that restricted women’s rights. The Taliban and General Zia created rules that were unfair like how girls should not have an education.
