Hina Khan the real life Hero
Every week we always try and look for something or someone that inspires us. This week its the bravery of a 13 year old Pakistani girl called Hina Khan that's caught our attention.
This young girl, wanted to speak up for women's rights, after the Pakistan Taliban bombed dozens of schools to forcibly prevent girls from gaining an education. However Hina Khan wasn't having any of it and she stood up to the Taliban!
She bravely stood up to the Taliban, accusing them of taking away a woman's right to choose how she lives. Her outspoken views four years ago made Hina a target for extremists and she has received constant death threats ever since.
Wow... the full extent of Hina Khan's bravery is amazing, she is a real life hero!Sometimes we forget how privileged we (western society) are and we take things such as Education for granted. To read that there are young people who would DIE for their rights to be educated, is truly inspirational. I believe every young person should have the right to to be educated and be part of a civilised society.
Hina - if you ever read this post, we admire your bravery!!
