A salute that is Deserved.

A splendid story about this matchless lady who didn't give up and did what no one can even think to do in a Pakistani society. Google alerts provided me with this story about Mukhtiar bibi, a common Pakistani citizen,  who was a victim of sexual assault back in 2002 but was aimed to seek justice and she is ,eventually, on the way to achieve it. She was forced by many people of her society to give up by agreeing on pressing charges but she knew what she was doing and kept firm on her decision. During her court cases and legal issues she realized how important education was because she had to put thumbprint on her statement instead of signing it because she was deprived of education. With the aim that what she suffered shouldnt be suffered by others, she is working hard to promote education. She didnt only took her victims to custody but has also started a school in her village with the compensation that she was awarded. Many children are getting education from that school and she is eaching different places to raise funds for her school and for the sake of those children.
She is ,undoubtly,  a lady who deserves a salute for what she did and is doing. It is is not only Malala who suffered for women's sake but a number of these matchless individuals who are contributing regardless of the fear of their life. And no doubt she will always be remebered by people and the children who are getting benefit of education from her school. For the full story reach the hyperlink provided

EDUCATION; A right for Women.

"Women should fight all barriers for education" says a Bangladeshi leader in one of her discussions in a university previous days.
Eduaction is a right for everyone either men or women. No one should be deprived from getting education. It is very sad to hear about places where women are not let to educate. They are part of this society and should get equal oppurtunity as every single man. Women should, infact, work harder and fight all barriers to get education because they are the one who can educate the world if they are educated themselves becuase if they are well educated, ther can raise their children more properly and moraly educated. This and much more was highlighted about importance of eduacted women in this society, to know more visit the hiperlink above.

You Support Education And get Supported by the World.

Here's an amazing and exemplary story that Google alert provided me which proves that ; You Support Education And get Supported by the world. This 16 years old girl named Malala belonging from a small society from Pakistan stood up against Illiteracy problems in Pakistan and she was very well supported around the world and was awarded the Noble prize for her struggle and courage. And this is a really good step for ending illiteracy. I got a lesson from this story that if a teenage girl can show courage and stand against something like that than why can't we do something to educate the world.

Say "NO" to illitercay

"It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish."
As I usually discuss, nowadays, the issue that seems most important to me and which needs to be solved as soon as it can be is Illiteracy. This term "illiteracy" may seem just a collection of ten words but it has a huge impact on this world if it increases or if it isn't stopped.
Illiteracy is a huge problem In Pakistan and many more under developed countries. Children are forced and encouraged at small age to work as labor and support their family rather than going to school and educate which is actually what they require. I feel this is very unfair with these children who do not understand its importance but are forced to do something else. Part of illiteracy is also because people do not give importance to education and as a trend think that teaching trade or labor work would be more beneficial for them which actually isn't the fact. Nowadays  life is totally based on education and that's something a nation is graded and degraded for. Everything from small daily activities to huge experiments around the world are based on education and if a person cannot read or write, how can you expect him to contribute to the nation or live his own life.
I strongly oppose this trend of illiteracy and through this social media campaign convince people to educate their nation and this world so that everyone can live equally and no one remains degraded. And also to know the importance of Education in changing the world and its huge impact on person's life.
