Pakistan鈥檚 Malala honored at Harvard
Print Edition
A PAKISTANI girl who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban has been honored as Harvard University’s humanitarian of the year.
Malala Yousafzai, an outspoken proponent for girls’ education, was at Harvard on Friday to accept the Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award.
Malala was shot in the head last October. Militants said she was attacked because she criticized of the Taliban, not due to her education views.
In a speech, the 16-year-old called her home region, the Swat Valley, a “paradise” but also a dangerous area where militants blew up schools.
“The so-called Taliban were afraid of women’s power and ... the power of education,” she told hundreds of students, faculty members and well-wishers at the ceremony.
“Few people spoke, but the voice for peace and education was powerful,” she added.
