Hey all, I wanted to bring up this bit of news that just recently happened about a 14 15 year-old girl from Pakistan named Malala Yousafzai. She was shot (by the Taliban) multiple times in the head on her way to/from school, just last week.
The reason being she had, for many years, stood up and spoke her mind in defense of womens' right to education. She started a blog a couple years ago explaining how hard it was for girls in her area to attend school with the local extremist Taliban. Several schools have been destroyed in the past. The event has really stirred up nations around the world.
She's currently in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. The word is she's heading for a "good recovery".
My heart goes out to this girl and her family. I wish all the best for her and I truly hope this continues to shed some light, from the rest of the globe, onto nations like this and people like her.
