A Pakistani girl aged 16, named Malaya Yousafzai, who a year ago had been shot in the head by a Taliban gunman, because she said she wanted schooling for girls, addressed the UNO Assembly yesterday and said she would not be silenced ! Education should be free for all.
She received a rousing, standing ovation from the UN Assembly after her speech in perfect English. She had been inroduced by the Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
Since her operation she has been living in Birmingham, England. The real questions are:
- Will she continue to get help from the UN even after Ban Ki Moon leaves his office end 2015 ?
- Would UNO be prepared to intervene in China and other Asiatic countries to promote schooling for children under the age of at least 14 ?
Everyone knows that cheap goods, produced by child labour in Asia, flood into Europe and other places on a daily basis. This creates unemployment in Europe.
MALAYA YOUSAFZAI is fighting for the Human Rights of children ! But will UNO help or intervene in any way ? Alas any hopes of an intervention sponsored by UNO to stop the extermination of citizens in Syria by Bachar al Assad, have already come to nothing !
