Pakistani teen activist Malala Yousafzai, in her first public speech at the United Nations since being shot in the head by the Taliban, has said she is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's path of non-violence. Malala invoked Gandhi and other global advocates of non-violence stressing that, "I'm not against anyone, neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban, or any other terrorist group. I want education for the sons and daughters of all the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists. I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. This is the philosophy of non-violence that I have learnt from Gandhiji, Badshah Khan and Mother Teresa". |
Malala became a global icon for girls' education after being brutally attacked by Taliban militants while on her way to school in Swat valley on October 9, 2012. She told the UN that she would not be silenced by terrorist threats. |
Taliban's attack nine months ago changed nothing in her life, except that "weakness, fear and hopelessness died". Malala told the gathering that "The extremists were, and they are, afraid of books and pens. The power of education frightens them. They are afraid of women". Malala called for worldwide action against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism. "Let us pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons. One teacher, one book, one pen, can change the world", Malala said. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon named her 16th birthday, 'Malala Day', in honour of her heroic stand to ensure education for all. |
