[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 187579, member: 35"] Shot Pakistan schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai addresses UN Malala Yousafzai [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23282662[/url] Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl shot by the Taliban, has told the UN that books and pens scare extremists, as she urged education for all. Speaking on her 16th birthday, Malala said efforts to silence her had failed. She was shot in the head on a school bus by Taliban gunmen because of her campaign for girls' rights. The speech at the UN headquarters in New York was her first public address since last October's incident in Pakistan's north-western Swat valley. 'Afraid of women' After the shooting Malala was flown from Pakistan to the UK for treatment, and now lives in Birmingham, England. Malala told the forum that the Taliban's attack changed nothing in her life, except "weakness, fear and hopelessness died". "The extremists were, and they are, afraid of books and pens," Malala said. "They are afraid of women." Latest figures show Pakistan has the second highest number of children out of school in the world. She called on world powers to change their strategic policies in favour of peace, and said she was fighting for the rights of women because "they are the ones who suffer the most". She called on politicians to take urgent action to ensure every child has the right to go to school. "Let us pick up our books and pens," Malala said. "They are our most powerful weapons. "One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education first." A passionate campaigner for female education, Malala is speaking to more than 500 students at a specially convened youth assembly. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown opened the session, telling the youths gathered they were a "new superpower" in the world, and appealing to them to help overcome obstacles to accessing education. "You cannot say there is anything other than an education emergency that we need to solve," Mr Brown said on Friday. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also addressed Friday's session. Calling Malala "our hero" and "our champion", he said: "She is calling on us to keep our promises, invest in young people and put education first." Malala has been credited with bringing the issue of women's education to global attention. About 57m people around the world still do not have access to education, and a quarter of young women have not completed primary school. The schoolgirl, who set up the Malala Fund following the attack, will also present a petition of more than three million signatures to the UN secretary general demanding education for all. The event, described as Malala Day by the UN, has been organised by Mr Brown, now the UN Special Envoy for Global Education. He said: "Getting every girl and boy into school by 2015 is achievable. "It is only impossible if people say it's impossible. Malala says it is possible - and young people all over the world think it is possible." Aid agencies say that female access to education in Pakistan is a particular problem. They say that the country ranks among the lowest in terms of girls' education enrolment, literacy and government spending. [/QUOTE]
