Not a bad video.  Not going to achieve much, but still a good shot.

Soooo, they're advocating the US come in Post-WWII style and completely restructure their country? Because that's what it would actually take to do anything meaningfully long-term on the issue that wouldn't get a metric ****ton of female children killed.

No for me its about the symbolic significance of the video, it may not change the plight of women and girls in Pakistan tomorrow but it raises awareness and that's important

Awareness in EU and NA, sure.  But in that case, some outsider intervention is still the predictable end goal given the audience.

Calm down, it's an awareness campaign.

 

Malala has already accomplished a tremendous amount in her young life.  I feel extremely lucky that I get to watch her continue to impact the world we live in.  Her voice resonates deeply with my students.

Ditto Hurlshot.

 

If you think for just a few seconds about the circumstances under which she was shot then you'd see that not everyone wants women hidden away.

 

Because if there weren't families and kids eager to learn then the Taliban & Co. wouldn't _need_ to shoot anyone in their heroic heavily armed stand against little girls who can read.

 Ouch! Those three words at the end of your sentence don't sit well in this context.

Occurred to me after posting, but meh, if that makes anyone upset they can deal with it.
