EliminarMuch of the video malala's father talked about gender inequality, that today in the 21st century many women aren't socially recognized and how the women can be attacked for fighting for inclusion and equality.
ResponderEliminarI agree with you even in Colombia de womens fight for a equality right but the state and the think of the society is so tight and that situation inhibit the progression of the nation.
EliminarIn this moment, women have rights in many things, so we can't allow men to see us as the weak people in the world.
EliminarMalala's father talked to us about the problem of women in the part of the world they live in (Pakistan) but in my opinion, this problem also happens in our part of the world, one of the many examples is the "feminicidio" in our own country.
ResponderEliminarI think the same, Olivia. The problem is in each part of the world and we can't blind to this situation.
EliminarIt is very easy to talk about these issues, but some of us have done something for gender equality in our society?
EliminarFor me the start to do something for gender equality is to teach our own family, sons and daughters, to not be disrespectful towards women, to show them that everyone is equal, and in this I'm not talking about gender equality, I'm talking about any kind of discrimination towards other human being, it makes no sense to believe anyone is better than someone else, by teaching our kids this little thing we do more than enough, like Malala's father taught us in his video.
EliminarIn the video we can see how by a so-called tradition and honor in many parts of the world there is a deal of inequity toward women and has become increasingly more common rather than become more scarce since we are in a century where we can realize that women have the same capabilities that the mens
ResponderEliminarIn the video, a tour of history is made, emphasizing on issues such as inequality, violence and exploitation in the woman. The main idea is that men and women of the world think differently, abolishing discriminatory laws and mainly educating people about gender equality.
ResponderEliminarIf people are always remembering the story, We can't have a different vision of the world. The idea is to continue fighting so that all people have the same rights, especially women.
EliminarThe video tells us about the injustices, violence, exploitation, patriarchal beliefs of women and girls. I think that their situation is very difficult because they must allow their lives to be folded as they want only for "honor" or "beliefs"

EliminarEvery day we see the cases of pheny- cid in the news, at first it surprises but as we pass the days we forget what happens until a new case happens again and again we are surprised by what happens, but that is done by the government, the police and Ourselves to make this change?
The first question that the teacher mentions; I think the father is very proud of her because she took her lessons to graduate but she always had the intelligence to draw her own conclusions to defend her rights and those of women and girls in her country. Malala's dad only let her be her and I think for this reason he expresses "Before that, she was my daughter, but now I am her father"?
ResponderEliminarI agree with her position because as her father said, she had the ability to make her own decisions in what the arrival to fight for the rights of humanitarian equality

ResponderEliminarI think that the principal problem is the our fail like society. Because we think that the problem is in an other country, an other town or other house, and we hide it saying "Isn´t my problem", "Isn´t my son", "Is a shame"...ok, What will be my outfit today to the party?
ResponderEliminarThe Malala´s Father show as that everybody is victim because everybody is woman, child, inmigrant, illegal, worker and human. And isn´t other country, is our world and our problem.
I agree with you, The real problem is indifference, hatred, segregation, fanaticism and all the hatred that has been generated throughout the time
EliminarThank you, AreRpo for your commment.
EliminarThese is the first step to he change it.
:)
I'm impressed for the coments of malala's father because in their culture Its complicated try to change the way they think and set aside the patriarcal custom. if you oppose you die. Malala exposes her life to save her thoughts.
ResponderEliminarI'm totally agree with you and if you read the malala's story you see how far the violence has come to prohibits education for girls
EliminarIn Colombia it's the same. In some regions of the country giving birth to a woman is a disgrace. It's painful to see such people exist, but we must work to change that mentality that doesn't advance a society and a country.
Eliminarfor this we have to have a mentality open to change :)
EliminarWe must do now, and we can do it!

ResponderEliminarseriously, we need more Malala's in the world. but isn't only Malala, is her father, her parents. Her role model is so important in this moment of the live but her father is also a rol model for all mens in the world. "I didn't cort her wings, and that's all" wow, is really beautiful his work. the Colombia society need to change for the mentality of Malala's father.
ResponderEliminarIt is true, we need more people who leave the routine but without going over the others, changing absurd traditions, which could have space at other times, but are in one where we have to learn to sometimes forget the lesson of obedience, to forget the lesson of honor,as

EliminarBut, what is honor, what is obedience? We have many meanings for those two words because we live in different social contexts. Traditions aren't stupid, they aren't bad, they are part of the culture, but globally we must have a gender equality to make those practices that denigrate a man or a woman, stay in the past.
EliminarYes, AreRpo, this world needs more people without fear, that can to see to the otherone and help without excuse
EliminarI think and agree with much of what society speaks of now we all grow to be great people, full of values, to help the other but in an instant of life people change their thoughts and ideals to harm the world when were not the values taught in the home...
ResponderEliminarWe should all be united and create a world of equality and love to help each other
Yes but the problem is that not everyone wants to change their thinking, not everyone wants to be more just. I think that what Malala's father portrays in the video is just a part of the reality that they have to face in their country. They are extremists and put their beliefs first; So these things are wrong; That the very life of the people.
EliminarAccording to the video, consider that gender equality must start with ourselves, I also think that this is an example of a story of overcoming for a young woman whose culture posed many problems.
ResponderEliminarI agree with you, because from the acts themselves probably We can change social aspects like discrimination and inequility.
EliminarVery sad to see the story of Malala because She was a girl who wanted to show many people that women have rights. And I agree with you, because is true that gender equality begins with respect and love for ourselves.
EliminarIn Colombia we live many times the malalas's story because many of women are forced to stay in the house to clean and cook for her husband because their parents or the society denied them the education and they made them think that they were only good for that
ResponderEliminarThe start of the violence against women, for me, it´s the patriarchy, it starts as an ideology that the males should get a better social position, and then, when the ideology can't stand by it's own, people starts to get fiscally violent against women that does'n share this ideology.
ResponderEliminarAlthough in the world has improved the social structures and the women are an active part of development, yet exist places with discrimination, inequality towards women, for example as malala´s father said: law of talibanization In which women are not allowed to be part of anything , and I feel shame and sadness because I do not understand how it is possible that with so many avances yet exist people that are not allowed be, I mean the society or international organizations should be the human rights should ensure the humans rights but no only for life right also quality and safe to women.
ResponderEliminarI understand, but every civilization has a cultural, religious and social rules that makes it very difficult to understand another culture in that part. I don't say that it is normal and allowed, because they are transgressing a human being and that should not exist, but the same culture must change for itself. We as Colombians have behaviors that aren't well seen for another culture.
EliminarI agree with you on the difference of cultures, but I consider that when you attack women and their integrity, any intervention could be useful, because they themselves are probably not aware of the evil and cruelty of their acts
Eliminar
EliminarI think that, the world must be more united, and the different cultures must be tolerant whit the other persons, because we are all unique and wonderful with our differences
In our colombian history, women have been innocent victims of many situations, however, women have had to fight for equal rights and duties, also, to be recognized in society, to have the right to vote and until a space to work, among others.
ResponderEliminarThis documentary in very valuable because it invites us women to continue fighting for equality, to empower our lives and not be a victim of bad situations. And I think that at this moment, the woman has the same rights and duties as the man.
About the first question.
ResponderEliminarBecause in the patriarchal societies, fathers are usually known by their sons not by their daughters, women don't have the same opportunities as men. Her daughter Malala tried to change that, she started a campaign to defend her rights in 2007, four years after she received the national young peace price and became a very popular girl in her country. That's why Ziauddin says "before that, she was my daughter, now I'm her father", he was recognized for being the father of the girl who wanted to change the story and is very proud about her, he want to show to the world everybody would have the same rights, independently if is man or woman.
In his culture women practically live in a Jail, freedom is not an election, after 13 years old they are forbidden to go out of their homes without a man escort.
From my point of view nowadays anyone is not less than another, both, men and women have the same capacities and rights, to talk, to work, to love, to live. I fully support Malala's work, the world must change.
Malala's father teaches us how we should educate our children in order to create awareness about gender equality by revealing some behaviors accepted by the society as a violation of rights
ResponderEliminarSo there's no point to keep some traditions of discrimination in any society
EliminarThis father shows us how education can be the basis of a great change, to avoid that history repeats itself and that the violation of women continues from generation to generation
EliminarI think that the historical journey that makes the father of Malala about the degradation of woman for millions years, Explains the violence against women currently.
ResponderEliminarMan has been a benchmark of strength and pride, while the woman has been seen as weak and in many cases as a curse, these visions have given man a social power to mistreat and ignore the rights of women. For this reason, women often feel guilty when they are beaten, because society wanted it. There are many places where women are not respected and I consider that they will be interested in their rights when they stop obeying and begin to think beyond the orders and we with society must support this.
