Yousafzai's Life Under The Taliban

Despite the many challenges arising, life in Pakistan has not always been life threatening and unpredictable. Typically, Yousafzai lived a normal teenage life and never had to think twice about her safety. Yousafzai explains a day in Pakistan under the Taliban enforcement by writing, “[e]ach day after school my brothers and I would race home and lock the doors”(57). This demonstrates how drastic Yousafzai’s life changed once the Taliban entered. Yousafzai fought each day for women’s rights, hoping one day the Taliban would be overthrown but inevitably, the fear halted possible assistance--her life was changed permanently once the Taliban entered.Yousafzai explains the effects of the Taliban by writing, “[b]ut he wasn’t just interfering with

Throughout the life threatening obstacles, Yousafzai always found time to talk with God. Yousafzai shares, “[b]ut I asked God for the strength and courage to make the world a better place” (27).

However, through Yousafzai’s faith, she gains courage to share the devastating events the Taliban inflicted on Pakistan. During her magnificent journey, Yousafzai conquered many obstacles and inspired others; however, some of Yousafzai’s actions have been used against her to create fear onto the female citizens of Pakistan. As a result of being a prominent activist, Yousafzai was shot and almost killed--leaving many activist fearful. In the end, education builds the weapon for a valued fighter and Yousafzai continues to fight for women’s education. Perhaps Yousafzai can provide civil rights for females in Pakistan before the Pakistani media destroys her image entirely. Consequently, fatalities are inevitable and the fight for rights continues into—perhaps next time the same fight disguised under a different
