MALALA AUDIO BALCAZAR Y GARCIA 607A

The person can't find their money but decides to look for it later. They wonder if Ximena and Alan have gotten up yet. The mom tells the sister that going to school is a basic right. They discuss how in some countries, girls and women are not allowed to study. They talk about the Taliban's restrictions on women. They mention Malala Yousafzai, who fought for girls' education and survived being shot. She started the Malala Fund and won the Nobel Peace Prize. The mom tells the sister to hurry up for school. It can't be! Where have I left my money? Here! I can't find it! But why haven't I put it in my purse? Never mind, I will look for it later. In the meantime, I have already bought the stuff to cook later. I wonder if Ximena and Alan have gotten up yet. Ximena! Alan! Get up! You have gone to school many times very late because you got up very late. Mom, my sister doesn't want to go to school. You have to go take advantage of the fact that you have been having opportunities. What do you mean, mom? Isn't this supposed to be everyone's basic right to go to school? You are right. This movement for religious, political, social and even economic reasons. There are many countries that do not allow girls and women to study. Like in Pakistan where the Taliban banned education for women? That's right. Remember that the Taliban is a political-religious movement and Islamic military organization where they have an ideology that dictates that women should only complete limited and stereotypical social roles. Which ones? They cannot wear the clothes and make-up they want. They must not be seen by other men. They cannot play sports. They cannot ride a bicycle or a motorcycle. They cannot work. They cannot even go to school. That's horrible! So they cannot wear their favorite dresses? That's right. That's why there are many women who to this day fight for the rights of girls and women in countries with this regime. Really? As who? Like Manala Juhafzai who since 15 years old, re-decides her country's regime to defend the right of all girls to access education but was shot several times as a result. No way! Really? That's right. Fortunately she survived and got over 2 million people to sign a petition for the right to education at the National Assembly to ratify the country's very right to free and compulsory education bill. And together with her father, she has founded the Malala Fund with the aim of raising awareness of the social and economic effects of girls' education and empowering them to demand change. And at 17, for December 2040, she became the youngest president of the Nobel Peace Prize. Has she achieved so much at such a young age? Unbelievable! I didn't know how much women suffer to be able to study. I know that. That's why we are fortunate to be able to survive alright without any problem. But already we have spent too much time talking. You have to hurry to get to school. Ok mom, you convince me. I'll make my sister stand up right now. Hurry up! Because we are going to be late. To be continued...
