    橄榄色的皮肤、浓密的眉毛、澄澈的目光……从外表上看,马拉拉就是一个平凡的巴基斯坦女孩。但就是这个普通的女孩从11岁起就为BBC撰写博文,揭露塔利班控制下的斯瓦特山谷地区民众的悲惨生活,呼吁女性捍卫自己接受教育的权利。她不畏强权,公然对抗塔利班的压迫,向世界发出声音。为表彰这个勇敢的女孩,联合国将马拉拉的生日7月12日定为“马拉拉日”。2013年7月12日,马拉拉在16岁生日那天登上联合国的演讲台,向世界传递革命的声音。
    \"They thought a bullet would silence us but they failed. Out of the silence came a voice: weakness, fear and hopelessness died; strength, power and courage were born.\"
    Malala Yousafzai has become the voice of girls throughout the world. She is the epitome of the change that is sweeping nation after nation today. Only a few years ago we would likely never have heard her story. When the cowardlyTalibanshot her in the head on October 9, 2012, for daring to go to school and speak up for girls\' education, it wouldn\'t have been surprising if the people living in theSwat Valleydismissedthe news: \"So what—she\'s a girl.\" Elsewhere, had we heard the story, we would havetut-tuttedand said, \"How dreadful but it\'s the way they treat their girls. There\'s nothing we can do.\"
    Instead, Malala\'s story made every newspaper in the world and every radio and television broadcast; people stayed tuned as news spread about where she was being treated and when she was being transferred first to Islamabad and then to London, England. In February we saw all the details of thecranialreconstruction surgery and thecochlearimplant the doctors would use to restore some of her hearing. I was in Victoria, B.C. when I had a call from a news agency—\"Hurry,\" they said, \"We need a news hit—Malala just got out of the hospital.\" Then in early March—she was in the news again.Sportinga little pink backpack, Malala was returning to school.
    She had become the world\'s daughter. It was as though the citizens of Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas had lifted a curtain and suddenly saw the extraordinary stupidity of refusing to educate girls and the consequences ofkowtowingto the extremists who claim they are acting in the name of God when they shoot 15-year-old girls in the head for their wanting to learn to read. Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, said, \"When the Taliban shot Malala, they showed what they fear most: a girl with a book.\" The economists have been claiming that educated girls can turn the economy of the village around. But more than that, the girls on the ground have found their voices—so have their mothers. In Afghanistan, the women refer to their illiteracy as being blind. One woman explained the seemingly bizarre connection: \"I couldn\'t read, so I couldn\'t see what was going on.\" Thethugsin power have used thatployfor centuries—keep the people ignorant so they can\'t see what\'s going on.

    巴基斯坦士兵将遭受枪击的马拉拉送往位于白沙瓦的医院
    Malala can see. She has thatelusive\"it\" factor—the one that combines strength and sweetness, resolve with vision. She wore the lateBenazir Bhutto\'s scarf and brilliantly combined the Prophet Mohammed with Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Ghandi when she spoke in her straight forward, from-the-heart style at the UN.

    巴基斯坦的孩子们为马拉拉祈福
    When Malala stood up on July 12 and said, \"There was a time when women asked men to stand up for women\'s rights. This time we\'11 do it for ourselves,\" she put the world on alert. Her army of activists was already at work inKabulwhere young women for change is aiming to \"alter the emotional landscape of Afghanistan.\" They claim that 67 per cent of the population of Afghanistan is under the age of 30. \"We never started a war,\" says co-founder Anita Haidery. \"We never fought a war. We hate these old customs. We want change and we have the tools to make change—Facebook and Twitter.\" And in Kenya 160 girls between the ages of three and 17 sued their government for failing to protect them from being raped and won the case. They won it for 15 million girls in Kenya. There are laws that criminalize rape in Kenya, but men have almost total impunity. The journey these kids took together was about girls who dared tobustthe taboo on speaking out about sexual assault. It was about kids who were told they had no rights
