Children’s rights activist – Malala Yousafzai


Malala Yousafzai (Urdu: ملالہ یوسفزئی, Pashto: ملالہ يوسفزی; born 1998) is an eighth-grade Pakistani student from the town of Mingora in Swat District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and is known for being a children's rights activist. At 13 years old she gained notability for championing the cause of the people of Swat by blogging for the BBC under a pseudonym about the atrocities of the Tehrik-i-Taliban regime.The international children's advocacy group KidsRights Foundation included Yousafzai among the nominees for the International Children's Peace Prize, making her the first Pakistani girl nominated for the award. South African Nobel laureate, Desmund Tutu announced the nominations during a 2011 ceremony in Amsterdam, Holland, but Yousafzai did not win the prize
Yousafzai lived in Mingora Swat, occupied by the Taliban before the military operation in 2009. During this time, education was banned and many townspeople were executed. Schools were destroyed, and girls' schools bore the brunt.She wrote a diary for the BBC under the pseudonym of "Gul Makai" where she related the deeds of the Taliban in Swat.
For her courageous and outstanding services for the promotion of peace under extremely hostile conditions, she was awarded the first National Peace Award by the Pakistani government on 19 December 2011.Speaking to the media afterwards, she expressed her intent to form a political party focused on education. Effective immediately, the Govt Girls Secondary School, Mission Road, was renamed as Malala Yousufzai Govt Girls Secondary School in her honor.
She was named after Malalai of Maiwand, a Pashtun poet and warrior woman.

 ‘Gulmakai’ – the future of Pakistan  

By Nukhbat Malik | | 11th July, 2012

“The only way to power is politics, and the only way to politics is education,” repeated the girl from Mingora, Swat who was among thousands of others whose lives were threatened by the Taliban in 2009, merely for seeking education.

Today, Malala Yousafzai is a beacon of hope for thousands of other girls who dare to dream of education and ambition. At the 8th International Conference on Women Leadership held in Islamabad last week, Yousafzai was given the excellence award in the category of “The Future of Pakistan”.
“I could not believe when I heard them calling me the future of Pakistan. I am highly encouraged by this award. I need appreciation and encouragement to complete a long and tough journey that is ahead,” she said upon receiving the award.
The world looked at the miseries of Swat through this beautiful pair of eyes, and realised the pain through the words that came out of her which she penned under the name of ‘Gulmakai’. The innocence in her writing represented those bereavements which many adults were unable to describe. Gulmakai’s diary was first published on BBC Urdu’s website in 2009. Aged 15, Malala is now studying in the 9th grade.
“Swat is peaceful now. But I don’t understand the fact that why the government is not showing any interest in rehabilitating the people who suffered the displacement. They are not even building the schools for us. It’s just the Pakistan Army with the cooperation of UAE government, which is helping recover Swat from the horrific aftermath of Talibanisation,” she exclaims with a mix of sorrow and anger.
Accompanying Yousafzai at the conference, her parents believe that their daughter has a long way to go.
“Death is inevitable. Every person has to die at some point, whether there is terrorism or not. This does not mean that we should stop walking on the path of truth. My husband and my daughter both have proven that no terror can hinder the way of truth. She is making us proud since the day she was born,” her mother states.
Forty-three year old Ziauddin is the proud father of Yousafzai, who heads the Khushal Khan School and College in Swat (for boys and girls). He was the spokesman of the National Jirga in Swat at the time of Talibanisation when Abdul Hai Kakar, then a correspondent of BBC, reached out to him and asked him to find a female teacher in Swat who could write about the cruelties of Taliban. To his disappointment no one agreed to do so.
“My only daughter, Malala was just 11 years of age when I first asked her to write about Swat and the Talibanisation in 2008. She did it. Not for the sake of her father’s wish, but for the sake of the safety and peace of her land. No one was willing to write the inside stories, the cruelty, the terror and the sufferings of the people of Swat because of the life threats by Taliban. She used the pseudonym, and I remember the first time I saw someone print the diary, I could not tell them that it’s my daughter who has written this. Today, I am happy that the world knows who Gulmakai is!”
Yousafzai’s ambition doesn’t end with obtaining education. She wants to be a politician when she grows up.
“Democracy is the best rule. This country needs new leaders. I want to study the law and I dream of a country in which education prevails and no one sleeps hungry. That would be my kind of country.”
The conviction in her voice, truly matches the title awarded to her. One can see her sparkling eyes witnessing the bright future of Pakistan.

گل مکائی، پاکستان کا مستقبل

 اقتدارتک پہنچنے کی رہ گزرصرف سیاست ہے اور سیاست تک پہنچنے کا راستہ تعلیم ہے۔’ یہ سیدھا سادا فلسفہ بیان کیا ملالہ یوسف زئی نے۔

ملالہ کا تعلق خیبر پختونخواہ کی وادی سوات کے مشہور منگورہ سے ہے۔ وہ ان ہزاروں لوگوں میں سے ایک ہے، جنہیں سن دو ہزار نو میں طالبان نے تعلیم حاصل کرنے پر دھمکیاں دی تھیں۔ آج ملالہ یوسف زئی ان ہزاروں لڑکیوں کے لیے مشعل راہ ہیں جو تعلیم حاصل کرنے اور آگے بڑھنے کے خواب دیکھتی ہیں۔
 پچھلے ہفتے اسلام آباد میں خواتین کی قیادت کےموضوع پر منعقدہ آٹھویں بین الاقوامی کانفرنس میں ملالہ کو ‘پاکستان کا مستقبل’ کے زمرے میں ‘ایکسیلنس’ ایوارڈ دیا گیا ہے۔
ایوارڈ ملنے پر ملالہ کا کہنا تھا ‘جب انہوں نے مجھے پاکستان کا مستقبل کہا تواپنے کانوں پہ یقین نہ آیا۔ اس اعزاز سے میری بہت حوصلہ افزائی ہوئی ہے۔ میرے سامنے طویل اور مشکل سفر ہے جسے طے کرنے کے لیے تعریف اور حوصلہ افزائی کی ضرورت ہے۔’
 ملالہ نے اپنے قلمی نام ‘گل مکائی’ سے جوتحریریں لکھی تھیں،ان کے ذریعے دنیا نے طالبانی دور میں سوات کے لوگوں کے دکھ اور پریشانیوں کو سمجھا۔ ملالہ کی تحریروں کی معصومیت نے ان گہرے معنوں کا اظہار کیا جو اکثر بالغ افراد بھی نہیں کر پاتے۔
 ’گل مکائی کی ڈائری’ سب سے پہلے بی بی سی اردو نے اپنی ویب سائٹ پر سن دو ہزار نو میں شائع کی تھی۔ ان تحریروں کی اشاعت کے چوتھے سال بعد اب پندرہ سالہ ملالہ نویں جماعت میں زیرتعلیم ہیں۔
 ’سوات میں اب امن ہے مگر مجھے یہ نہیں سمجھ آتا کہ جن لوگوں نے طالبان کی وجہ سے نقل مکانی کی تھی، ان کی بحالی میں حکومت کوئی دلچسپی کیوں نہیں لے رہی۔ وہ ہمارے لیے اسکول بھی نہیں بنوارہے۔ صرف متحدہ عرب امارات کی حکومت اعانت کررہی ہے۔ جس کے ساتھ پاکستانی فوج سوات کو طالبان دور کی بھیانک تاریکیوں سے نکلنے میں مدد کررہی ہے۔’ یہ کہتے ہوئے ملالہ بیک وقت افسردہ بھی تھیں اورانہیں غصہ بھی آرہا تھا۔
کانفرنس میں ملالہ کے ساتھ موجود ان کے والدین کا خیال ہے کہ ان کی بیٹی کو اپنی منزل پانے کے لیے ابھی طویل سفر طے کرنا ہے۔
 ’موت ناگزیر ہے۔’ ملالہ کی والدہ نے کہنا شروع کیا۔ ‘ہر شخص کو کبھی نہ کبھی مرنا ہے، چاہے وہ موت دہشت گردی کے ہاتھوں ہو یا نہیں، مگر اس کا یہ مطلب ہرگز نہیں کہ ہم سچائی کے راستے پر چلنا چھوڑ دیں۔ میرے شوہر اور بیٹی نے یہ ثابت کر کے دکھا دیا کہ دہشت گردی سچائی کا راستہ نہیں روک سکتی۔ وہ اپنی پیدائش کے دن سے ہی ہمارا سر فخر سے بلند کر رہی ہے۔’
ملالہ کے تینتالیس سالہ والد زیادین یوسف زئی سوات میں خوشحال خان اسکول اور کالج کے سربراہ ہیں۔ وہ سوات میں طالبانائزیشن کے دور میں قومی جرگہ کے ترجمان بھی تھے۔
 انہی دنوں، اس وقت کے بی بی سی اردو کے نامہ نگار عبدالحئی کاکڑ نے زیادین سے سوات میں ایک ایسی استانی کو ڈھونڈنے کا کہا جو طالبان کے ہاتھوں ہونے والی ناانصافیوں کے بارے میں لکھ سکے مگر کسی نے حامی نہ بھری۔
زیادین کہتے ہیں کہ ‘جب سن دو ہزار آٹھ میں، میں نے اپنی اکلوتی بیٹی ملالہ سے سوات اور طالبانائزیشن پر لکھنے کا کہا تو وہ اس وقت صرف گیارہ سال کی تھی مگر اس نے یہ کام کر دکھایا۔ اس نے یہ کام میری خواہش کی بنا پر نہیں کیا بلکہ وہ اپنے علاقے میں امن اور حفاظت چاہتی تھی۔ طالبان کے ڈر سے کوئی بھی سوات کے اصل حقائق اور لوگوں کی مشکلات  پر لکھنے کو تیار نہ تھا ۔ وہ ڈرتے تھے،انہیں دھمکیاں مل رہی تھیں مگر میری بیٹی نے قلمی نام سے لکھنا شروع کردیا۔ جب پہلی باراس کی ڈائری کو ویب سائٹ پر شائع ہونے کے بعد پڑھا تو اس وقت میں کسی سے یہ بھی نہیں کہہ سکتا تھا کہ اسے میری بیٹی نے لکھا ہے۔ آج مجھے خوشی ہے کہ پوری دنیا جانتی ہے کہ گل مکائی کون ہے۔’
ملالہ کا خواب صرف تعلیم حاصل کرنا نہیں۔ وہ بڑے ہو کر سیاست دان بننا چاہتی ہیں۔ ان کا کہنا ہےکہ’جمہوریت سب سے بہترین اصول ہے۔ ملک کو نئے رہنماؤں کی ضرورت ہے۔ میں قانون کی تعلیم حاصل کرنا چاہتی ہوں۔ ایک ایسے ملک کا خواب دیکھتی ہوں، جہاں تعلیم کا بول بالا ہو اور کوئی بھوکا نہ سوتا ہو۔ ایسا ملک میرا ملک ہوگا۔’
ان کی آواز کا یقین،ان کے نام کی طرح پرعزم اورحوصلہ مند ہے۔ ہم ان کی چمکتی آنکھوں میں پاکستان کاروشن مستقبل دیکھ سکتے ہیں۔

Last March, President Asif Ali Zardari conferred a gallantry medal posthumously on Khan and his wife received the award during a ceremony held at the President’s house in Islamabad on the occasion of the Pakistan National Day. Farman Ali Khan, originally from Swat, was living in Jeddah for seven years where he was running a small shop. When flood came in Jeddah on November 26, 2009, he was sitting in his shop. Many persons got stuck up on that street in the flood water where Farman’s shop was located.

Farman Ali Khan survived by his widow and three daughters Zubaida 7, Madeeha 6 and Jarira 4. Saudi Ambassador in Islamabad also held a meeting with the brother and father of late Farman Ali Khan and paid tribute to Farman Ali Khan and quoted him as an Islamic Hero. The Saudi Ambassador offered financial assistance to Farman brother and father, but they refused to accept any financial assistance.

The newspapers published detailed stories along with the photos of Farman Ali Khan. The Pakistani community declared Farman as a “hero” and said he was a hero who deserved to be honoured for his humanitarian service during the floods. The community was of the view that Farman, a member of the Pakistani community in Saudi Arabia had proved by sacrificing his life that Pakistanis and Saudis are brothers enjoying close ties. The Pakistani community living in Saudi Arabia was also planning to build a school and mosque in Khan’s district `Khawaza Kheila’ in Swat. “The mosque and the school would be named after Farman Ali Khan in order to remember Khan’s voluntary work for Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Khan, 32, came to Saudi Arabia in 2001 to work in a grocery store located in Jeddah. According to reports, Farman used tire tubes, wooden planks and ropes to save 14 people and he was trying to save the 15th person when the water swept him away.
