Malala's Father Speaks

ZIAUDDIN YOUSAFZAI MALALAIt's Father's Day, and this is an interesting TED talk given by  Ziauddin Yousafzai, the father of international human rights activist Malala Yousafzai.

In it the Pakistani educator tells a simple truth that many men don't want to hear.  Women and men deserve equal opportunities for education, autonomy,  personhood and an independent life.  

When asked how he raised a strong daughter like Malala, he simply stated, "Because I didn't clip her wings"

Happy Father's Day.   And if yo are raising daughters, you may wish to click on this link and think about what Ziauddin Yousafzai has to say in this TED talk entitled, My Daughter, Malala.
