Malala's Song, Important Cause

Hey Guys,

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.

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 to put forward nominations.  (This is an international petition not only a Canadian petition; I am certain that individuals around the world can sign it.  Please check out the website!)

A Nobel Peace Prize for Malala will send a clear message that the world is watching and will support those who stand up for gender equality and universal human rights that includes the right of education for girls. Source 

In my opinion, I believe that this is a very important cause.  It breaks my heart that a young girl was shot in the head because she believed in girls education.  It sickens me that a "group" or an "individual" would stoop so low.  Malala is a brave and courageous young girl who wanted to stand up for a simple right.  It has been said that education is the gateway out of poverty; learning and knowledge is something no one can take away from you.  I urge you to sign the petition on the link below as you are lucky enough to have a choice to make your own educational choices.
