    ‘Go for it’: Malala encourages girls to ‘try cricket’

    Malala Yousafzai encourages girls to pick up a cricket bat and ball, tostop thinking and just try it.

    Malala, known for her activism for women empowerment and education, urged young women to believe in themselves.

    In an interview with Sky Sports, she stated that women should never be discouraged from playing sports on the basis of their gender.

    “Even today, when we see women cricket players playing in this stadium, they are sending a message to all girls out there that they can be in sports, they can be players, they can play any sport they want,” Malala stated in the video interview.

    She added that we already have multiple women role models who are changing history and sports are no exception.

    Malala expressed hope that we don’t limit women from dreaming – she encouraged girls to give it a try and “go for it” if they enjoy it.

    The Noble Peace prize winner is known for human rights advocacy, especially the education of women and children in her native Swat Valley, where the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan had at times, banned girls from attending school.

  • Army builds girls’ school in place of TTP militant Hakimullah Mehsud’s headquarters

    Army builds girls’ school in place of TTP militant Hakimullah Mehsud’s headquarters

    Pakistan Army has rebuilt a girls school for higher secondary education where once existed the headquarters of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant Hakimullah Mehsud, a private media outlet reported.

    The school, located in the Orakzai Agency of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Kohat division, was completely destroyed during the war on terror and later converted into the headquarters of Mehsud, who was the deputy to TTP commander Baitullah Mehsud.

    With the war abated after years of unrest, Pakistan Army has rebuilt the school at the same spot.

    The TTP has been a strong adversary of the idea of sending girls to schools. The militant group claims “educating women goes against Islam”.

    In 2012, Nobel Peace Prize winner and activist Malala Yousafzai was also shot by the Taliban after advocating for girls’ education using a pen name, bringing global attention to the group’s violent threat on the nation’s young women.
