Education activist (and recent Oxford graduate) Malala Yousafzai reflects on the defining moments of her life, how she balances passion with personhood and where the world finds itself during the COVID-19 crisis. With humor and humility, she shares her dreams of seeing social progress in her lifetime, explains why girls education advocacy must not relent during the pandemic and champions youth activists worldwide leading the fight for a fairer future for all. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED's current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers, was recorded July 8, 2020.)

Independent Women can take care of themselves. They don’t need constant assistance
But there are things that a person can’t do by themselves.
Men and women are created to work together. Society is not allowing that sadly.
@Cercabene Society is not allowing that in oppressive regimes, in the “west” EVERYONE can do what they want. People who think woman are opressed in the “west” it´s because they are either ignorant and want to be a victim for the rest of their lifes or because they didn´t achieve what they wanted and blame it on gender. We both have many differences and different approaches and advantages to different jobs, and thats a good thing for all of us. I´m happy that more woman are not falling into the narrative of victimization of woman, that usually woman who know are capable and “just do it”. In Spain where I live, Twitter director is a woman, also google and biggest bank (Banco Santander). They are there because they deserve it…. but more and more seems like we want equality of outcome and I believe thats a mistake and has being debunked in practice in a study in Finland. I hope woman start realising that they are being used as an object for politicians and when the truly problems woman have (in opresive countries such as Iran) they can achieve equality of opportunity with the help of all of us
@Jon thine baptista the third such as?
Talking about little kids again just wrong
The world hunger is getting rediculous
There’s more fruit in a rich man’s shampoo than in a poor man’s plate
that trend suggestion is bullshit. the world is being fed more and more over a trend of several years.
Oi! Ted! Reupload Graham Hancocks talk. Turns out he has been right on everything he said. Refusing to is damaging your integrity for me
I just love her! So inspiring, especially as a teacher myself. Love from Germany!
Allah akbar
Thirty-two percent of primary age are out of in , compared to 21 percent of boys. By grade six, 59 percent of are out of , versus 49 percent of boys. … Seventy-five percent of women had never attended at all, compared to 40 percent of men….so one of the worst countries for girls educaton is Pakistan…the problem is the Pakistan Govt and attitudes
Nearly 22.5 million of children – in a country with a population of just over 200 million – are out of school , the majority of them girls………..in Pakistan .
Imran Khan, Pakistan have a very large military but cannot even send their children to school.
Its kind of rude to criticise a country when you don’t properly understand the political and economical factors that play into this the thing that happened to malala was caused by the talisman that fled from Afghanistan to Northern Pakistan and terrorised the people their in encouraging women to not go school and forcing those who persisted but thats not to say pakistan is not encouraging its children to learn. For example alot of Pakistanis are taught to become highly respected figures in the community like doctors nurses etc and reinforced by the ideals of islam within the culture its not right to say pakistan is not taking children to school
Malala is scared of Pakistan army she can’t get her freedom of speech there she and her fam will be hanged
@Zero Sternritter that was the taliban not the pakistan army
@Jon thine baptista the third Same taliban gets funded by Pakistani army They covered up for osama bin laden as well
@Zero Sternritter give me your sources .pls
Girls’ education in Indonesia is promising. In 2014,
noted that Indonesia’s education system is Asia’s third largest and the
world’s fourth largest. Moreover, in 2016, the literacy rate for
females between the ages of 15 and 24 was 99.65 percent……………..so it’s not about religion, or income.
I don’t think writing a letter to a Pakistan MP is going to get you very far
She is nothing in Pakistan
Love her
I hope she’s talking about the Asian countries, and not the western countries…
She won’t talk about emporment in Syria and Iraq she will be stoned to death
@Zero Sternritter sad, but true unfortunately D:
♥️
if only there was a spokesperson for boys future
You couldn’t do anything in your country, so don’t try to make something in others
