ONE GIRL … ONE VOICE

In this fast-paced, crazy world, where things look and feel topsy-turvy, voices are needed to lead the way and set and example.

Malala Yousafzai is such a voice.

Her example is remarkable. Her values and her purpose exemplary.

Since her shooting, the world was rooting for her.

She’s made a mark.

Watch the video and see what I mean.

Education for young girls is mandatory.

They are the future of this world.

Girls from around the world are using the words of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai to campaign for education as part of Plan International’s Because I am a Girl campaign.

More than 40 girls from 12 countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Paraguay, Ethiopia, Zambia, Rwanda, Brazil, El Salvador and the Philippines have been involved in voicing one of Yousafzai’s famous speeches calling for education for all girls all over the world. Inspired by Malala’s example, there are many “other Malalas” around the world who are fighting for girls to be given the right to be educated.

International Women’s Day …. “Google Doodle 2016”!!

~~March 8, 2016~~ 

ONE DAY I WILL

On International Women’s Day, share your aspiration with the world

Over the years, Doodles have commemorated the achievements of women in science, civil rights, journalism, sports, arts, technology and beyond. It’s always an honor to pay tribute to women who have changed the course of history, sometimes in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

But for this year’s International Women’s Day, we wanted to celebrate the Doodle-worthy women of the future.

So we gathered our cameras and pencils and visited 13 countries where we spoke to 337 women and girls and asked them to complete the sentence,

“One day I will …”

From toddlers to grandmothers, the women in San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Lagos, Moscow, Cairo, Berlin, London, Paris, Jakarta, Bangkok, New Delhi and Tokyo all sparkled with personality. Each new city brought more “One day I will”s, more signature dance moves, more hugs, more high-fives.

The aspirations we heard were as varied as the women and girls who shared them, from the very personal – swim with pigs in the Bahamas – to the very global – give a voice to those who can’t speak -and everything in between. When it was done, we found that our own “One day I will…”s had grown bigger and richer, inspired by the women we had met.

~~International Women’s Day Doodle 2016: #OneDayIWill~~

~~Published on Mar 7, 2016~~ 

Over the years, Doodles have marked the achievements of women in science, civil rights, journalism, sports, arts, technology and beyond. But for our 2016 International Women’s Day Doodle, we wanted to celebrate the next generation of Doodle-worthy women—the engineers, educators, leaders, movers and shakers of tomorrow.

So we visited 13 cities around the world and asked 337 girls and women to complete the sentence “One Day I Will …” Then, we made this video.

From San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Lagos, Moscow, Cairo, Berlin, London, Paris, Jakarta, Bangkok, New Delhi and Tokyo, the women we met make up a diverse mosaic of personalities, ages and backgrounds. And their aspirations are just as varied—ranging from the global to the very personal, from discovering more digits of pi to becoming a mother to giving a voice to those who can’t speak.

We also asked some more familiar figures to participate, including anthropologist Jane Goodall – who wants to discuss the environment with the Pope – and Nobel Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai and activist Muzoon Almellehan, who are working fearlessly toward a future where every girl can go to school. Despite already impressive accomplishments under their belts, these women continue to dream big.

GLOBAL CITIZENS FESTIVAL

Malala: On education

Over 60,000 people gathered on Central Park’s Great Lawn Saturday, September 26, for the 2015 Global Citizens Festival — an event featuring world leaders and socially conscious artists who wish to shed light on the issue of global poverty, and how to end it.

“Everybody in the world is entitled to be treated with dignity. No time in the history of the world has it been harder to hide injustice,” said Vice President Joe Biden. “I see a sea of global citizens. We can change the world, we really can, you can. At no time in history has so much power been available to make such a difference for so many people. I refuse to believe that we’re not going to try.”

Pledges were made onstage that will affect the lives of more than 92 million people, and the festival, which was livestreamed to millions courtesy of MSNBC and YouTube, was hosted by the likes of Stephen Colbert, Kerry Washington, and Hugh Jackman, and featured performances and speeches from Leonardo DiCaprio, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Common, Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Beyoncé, and more.

Girls may not run the world — yet — but they dominated the Global Citizen Festival in New York City’s Central Park Saturday night.

Pope Francis set the stage, cruising through the park less than 24 hours earlier for his U.S. visit, but it was Beyoncé, activist Malala Yousafzai and First Lady Michelle Obama who stole the show.

U2 rocker and international AIDS activist Bono introduced Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, along with four other young women activists from Nigeria, Pakistan and Syria — setting a new “squad goal” for women everywhere.

“It’s not that there is lack of money in this world,” she said. “We have billions and trillions of dollars, but where the money goes is military; it’s things that are useless and that are not useful to society.”

Calls for gender equality, education, sanitation and climate action stood out among the United Nations’ 17 other “Global Goals,” sustainable development milestones that the event organizers hoped the 60,000 people who gathered there would memorize and share.

MALALA YOUSAFZAI ADDRESSES THE UNITED NATIONS

Malala Yousafzai Calls for Universal Education Pledge at UN

Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai addressed the opening of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, September 25. Speaking from above the floor of the assembly, Yousafzai told world leaders to “look up, because the future generation is raising their voice.”

“Promise us that you will keep your commitments and invest in our future. Promise that every child will have the right to safe, free and quality primary and secondary education,” she said.

Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize this year with Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi, said the United Nations’ goals from next year should focus on education.

“We must be determined that our dream of quality education for all will also come true,” Yousafzai said today in the text of a speech delivered in Norway as she accepted the prize. Leaders gathering in 2015 to decide on the next set of sustainable development goals “must seize this opportunity to guarantee a free, quality primary and secondary education for every child.”

Yousafzai, 17, was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012 in retaliation for her campaign for girls to be given equal rights to schooling, defying threats from militants in her hometown of Mingora. She became the first teenager to win the prize, announced in Oslo in October.

~~September 24, 2015~~ 

HE NAMED ME MALALA

The inspiring story of 18-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai is being told in a new documentary, “He Named Me Malala.”

Directed by the award-winning Davis Guggenheim, the documentary follows Malala from her early years as a girls’ education advocate in Pakistan through the assassination attempt of the then 15 year old by the Taliban in 2012 to her work today as a world famous champion for girls’ rights around the world. The film, which will be released in October, acts as a companion to “I Am Malala”, the memoir that Malala published last year.

As the name of the film suggests, Malala’s father’s, Ziauddin Yousafzai, choice of name for his daughter held deep significance — and almost eerie portents of the future.

The original Malala was a legendary heroine in Afghanistan’s Battle of Maiwand in 1880.

“This girl, this mythical Pashtun girl who rallies the Afghan troops that are losing to the British,” Guggenheim remembers. “She climbs a mountain and tells them, ‘Fight for your lives. It’s better to live like a lion for one day than a slave for a hundred years’ … And I’m just sitting there thinking, ‘Malala is named after a girl who speaks out and is killed for speaking out.

And then Malala is a young girl who speaks out and is shot, almost killed, for speaking out.’”

Malala and her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai

Guggenheim filmed the family for two years, and much of the film shows the family in their new home in the UK; these joyful scenes are a stark contrast to the the news footage of the Taliban’s assassination attempt. The film also cleverly weaves in animation, including a stunning animated sequence depicting the legendary Malala’s battle.

He hopes that his documentary shows people, particularly parents, the power of believing in their children’s potential. “Maybe if you were to reduce what Ziauddin did for Malala — he saw her as a human being in a culture where girls don’t have names, or they’re seen as people to be married off at a young age, or worse,” he says. “I think about this Pakistani father who took the family tree, which goes back 300 years of Yousafzais, and there are no women. He does this radical thing, which I’m sure many Yousafzai men would find offensive — he took a pen and wrote her name on the family tree.”

Thoughts for today, #188 … “Here’s the choice: Military/War vs Education/Hope”!!

~~June 29, 2015~~ 

HERE’S OUR INSPIRATION

Malala Yousafzai, born 12 July 1997) is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native Swat Valley in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school.

Yousafzai’s advocacy has since grown into an international movement.

Her family runs a chain of schools in the region. In early 2009, when she was 11–12, Yousafzai wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban occupation, their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for girls in the Swat Valley.

The following summer, journalist Adam B. Ellick made a New York Times documentary about her life as the Pakistani military intervened in the region. Yousafzai rose in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television, and she was nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize by South African activist Desmond Tutu.

On the afternoon of 9 October 2012, Yousafzai boarded her school bus in the northwest Pakistani district of Swat. A gunman asked for her by name, then pointed a pistol at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of Yousafzai’s forehead, traveled under her skin through the length of her face, and then went into her shoulder.

In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition, but later her condition improved enough for her to be sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England, for intensive rehabilitation. On 12 October, a group of 50 Islamic clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwā against those who tried to kill her, but the Taliban reiterated their intent to kill Yousafzai and her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai.

The assassination attempt sparked a national and international outpouring of support for Yousafzai. Deutsche Welle wrote in January 2013 that Yousafzai may have become “the most famous teenager in the world.”

United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown launched a UN petition in Yousafzai’s name, demanding that all children worldwide be in school by the end of 2015; it helped lead to the ratification of Pakistan’s first Right to Education Bill.

Jon Stewart ….. “I Got Nothing for You”!!

~~June 19, 2015~~ 

Choked-Up Jon Stewart Says He Can’t Tell Jokes After Charleston Massacre
Too much to handle for the funnyman.

“I have one job, and it’s a pretty simple job,” Jon Stewart said on “The Daily Show” on the night after the #CharlestonShooting “I come in in the morning, and we look at the news and I write jokes about it.”

But that’s not what happened last night.

What follows is a heartfelt appeal to America on the issue of race and our strangely inconsistent application of outrage. He noted that two wars and trillions were spent to fight a force far less dangerous that domestic shootings and American racial terror — Islamic radicalism. He would go on to highlight some of the lower-level forms of abuse, from the confederate flag over South Carolina to the residual heritage of slavery.

“We have roads named after confederate generals.

Black people have to drive on roads named after those who would prevent them from driving.

That’s insanity.” As America renews its debate over the use of Confederate imagery,and its pernicious effects on black society, his point is an urgent one, indeed.

~~Daily Show’s Jon Stewart on Charleston shooting~~

‘This was a terrorist attack’

~~Published on Jun 18, 2015~~

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart has slammed America’s response to the mass shooting in a South Carolina church, predicting that nothing would be done in the wake of a “terrorist attack” that left nine people dead.

In a sombre opening to a show he promised would contain no jokes, Stewart said some people were already working hard to discount the idea that racism was the motive behind the massacre.

Prior to introducing his guest – Nobel peace prize-winner Malala Yousafzai – Stewart told viewers: “I have nothing other than just sadness that once again we have to peer into the abyss of the depraved violence that we do to each other, and the nexus of a just gaping racial wound that will not heal but we pretend doesn’t exist.

“I’m confident, though, that by acknowledging it, by staring into that and seeing it for what it is, we still won’t do jackshit.

“Yeah. That’s us.”

The reluctance to label domestic shootings of this kind as terrorism, he went on, led to what he called a “disparity of response between when we think people that are foreign are going to kill us and us killing ourselves”.

“If this had been what we thought was Islamic terrorism … we invaded two countries and spent trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives, and now fly unmanned death machines over, like, five or six different countries …

“Nine people. Shot in a church. What about that?

Eh. What are you gonna do?

Crazy is as crazy is, right?”

The media response had been too slow to acknowledge the culture that made such violence possible, Stewart said: “I heard someone on the news say, a tragedy has visited this church. This wasn’t a tornado. This was racist. This was a guy with a Rhodesia badge on his sweater … This one is black and white. There’s no nuance here.

“And we’re going to keep pretending: I don’t get it, what happened, there’s one guy lost his mind. We are steeped in that culture in this country and we refuse to recognize it, and I cannot believe how hard people are working to discount it.”

Stewart pointed to what he called the “racial wallpaper” of South Carolina, where a confederate flag continues to be flown within the grounds of the capitol building: “The confederate flag flies over South Carolina. And the roads are named for confederate generals.

“And the white guy’s the one who feels like his country’s being taken away from him.”
