BECAUSE I AM A GIRL: INVEST IN ME!
"I don't mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I am afraid of no one." - Malala Yousufzai
Malala is a Pakistani girl and girl's rights activist, who was shot by the Taliban on tuesday for demanding that she and other girls go to school. She is currently in critical condition.
"From this International Day of the Girl Child forward, Malala's fight for life should become the whole world's fight for not only establishing every girl's right to education but also achieving within three years a school place for the neglected 32 million.
Round the world the campaign for girls' education -- a campaign that Malala now symbolizes -- is fighting evils which prevent us realizing our goal. Child marriage takes 10 million girls a year out of school and into marriages they did not choose; child labor prevents 15 million girls and boys under 14 going to school; the conscription of child soldiers takes thousands upon thousands more girls out of the classroom and onto the battlefield."
