brave girl… I’d say the Taliban will never win of depriving people’s rights regardless of gender.

As long as there are courageous people in the world like Malala, evil and ignorance will never triumph.

As long as there are people who consider themselves the rulers over others there will always be Malala’s out there who take the plunge. She was fortunate she survived. But the malaise is in the memes and the minds of those who do not fight back and those who are willing to murder for their singular notions. Most will do nothing, it takes a few very brave ones to stand up their tyrannies. Putting their lives on the line for what is right.
.
The great difference between those who kill for what they believe in and those who risk their lives for what they believe in.
