Malala Yousufzai is a girl from Pakistan who was brutally attacked by the Taliban due to going against the grain and wanting an education in her country. This made international headlines which made the vast difference of gender equality in eastern counties. She began actively writing blogs, and news articles about the education system which the Taliban put in place to stop girls having a right to education after primary school.
She was an inspiration to many girls which allowed her to earn a name for herself which made her known by the BBC. A few years later however the Taliban failed an assassination attempt on her way home from school on the bus.
The view of women in countries like this have not developed over many years, equality is taken for granted in western countries. This may be due to lack of education, or religious views being manipulated so that fatalities like this can happen.
