“On October 9, 2012, 15-year old Malala Yusufzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in response to her campaign against the destruction of girls schools in Pakistan. In the face of terror, Malala risked her life to speak out for the rights of girls everywhere.Malala’s bravery has sparked a global movement and we believe the Nobel Foundation should give her the Nobel Peace Prize.” says campaigners.
The first step in this process is to get Malala nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Only certain people, like a Member of Parliament, are allowed put forward nominations.

This is a noble suggestion for a worthy cause. An educated girl child leading to motherhood makes a healthy and intilligent home and civilised nation. Look at the uncivilised manner that many muslim nations are going through by not sending their girl child to schools, due to the maniac illiterate clerics and their rabid fundamentalist who roam the streets with their knives and swords terrorising innocent familes and their villages. YES THE WORLD MUST NOMINATE THIS CHILD SO THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE GIVEN THEIR RIGHTS TO EDUCATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS.

The statement ‘that many Muslim nations are going through by not sending their girl child to schools’is incorrect. There is not a single Muslim country which debars female education. There are a few groups like the Taliban who oppose female education which completely against the teachings of Islam.

Of course, MALALA is the right choice for the Nobel Peace Prize, and all right thinking person should support this.
