16-Year-Old Malala Yousafzai Leaves Jon Stewart Speechless With Comment About Pacifism

Stewart asked her how she reacted when she learned that the Taliban wanted her dead. Her answer was absolutely remarkable.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

When Malala says that education gives women power and the audience cheers, I’m thinking

 

  1. She’s 100% correct
  2. The U.S. high school drop out rate is high
  3. U.S. college is not getting more affordable

 

Many in the U.S. are disempowered due to the difficulty of obtaining a college education.

LET THEM SPEAK

“It’s been almost a year since I traveled to Pakistan to investigate, film, and interview drone victims and their families. While there, I met Rafiq ur Rehman and his two children, who shared with me the story of how Rafiq’s 67 year-old mother, the children’s grandmother, was killed by a drone strike. Not only did Rafiq lose his mother that day, but his daughter Nebila, 9, and son Zubiar, 13, were also injured.”
