Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
Wl: Malala Yousafzai, thank you for joining us. Tell us what inspired you, at such a young age, to start speaking out for girls’ education in really such a dangerous environment.
W2: First of all, my father inspired me, because he’s a great father, but as well,(1)he is a great social activist and women’s rights activist. At that time, when Swat—the beautiful valley—was suffering from terrorism, he spoke—he spoke out. And he spoke for women’s rights, because at that time, more than 400 schools were blasted, girls were flogged, people were slaughtered, markets were closed. There was ban on women to go to market. Girls were not allowed to go to school.(2)And in that hard situation, he inspired me, because he spoke. And that’s what I learned from him.
Wl: Did you ever think, though, that your outspokenness, and the fact that you became a media star in Pakistan, would make you or your family a target?
W2: I think being living in such a hard situation when there are terrorists and they slaughter people every night is still hard, is still a threat. So it’s a better idea to speak out for your rights and then die. I prefer that one. So that’s why we spoke at that time. One has to speak. Why are we waiting for someone else?(3)The governments were not taking an action. The army was not taking a good action. So that’s why we said that we will speak out for our rights. This is what we can do, and we tried our best.
Wl: So now, you’ve been forced, of course, to leave Pakistan. You’ve become this international symbol of bravery and of speaking up for girls’ education. But what has happened to the girls you left behind? What is their situation?
W2:(4)The girls who are in Pakistan and in Swat, especially, it’s really hard for them to go to school. There are so many reasons. Many girls do not go to school because of poverty. Some girls can’t go to school because of the child labor and child trafficking. Some parents don’t send their children to school, because they don’t know its importance at all, and some girls don’t go to school because of the cultural norms and taboos. So there are still many issues that are stopping girls to go to school.
Wl: Why do you think the Taliban—what is their vision of Islam that makes them—so opposed to girls’ education? And, if so, can you really change that and can you change that culture just by educating girls?
W2: The first thing is that the Taliban have misunderstood Islam. They have made it—they have never studied Islam deeply. I think they have not read Koran, even,(5)because in Islam it is said that it is the right of every girl and every boy to get education, to get knowledge. Islam says about equality, there’s no difference between a man and a woman. Islam tells us to respect each other, don’t judge either other on the basis of religion. So I think the terrorists have forgotten that. They only remember jihad and fighting. So I think they must read Koran first. They must learn from it first and then they say. So that’s why—they are just misusing the name of Islam for their own personal benefits.
