Nuestra English- Teacher, Inés García, ha trabajado con algunos de sus alumnos, la noticia sobre la niña tiroteada por los talibanes, obligada a dejar de asistir a la escuela y, con mucho esmero, ha preparado estos textos para que sus alumnos puedan conocer la historia.
This year the celebration of the day against violence against women has a name: Malala, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl shot by the Taliban on her way home from school. They shot her because she openly campaigns online (she writes a blog) for education for girls in her country.
The Taliban impose amazing rules on women and make their lives hell. Would you like to have a look at Malala´s blog?

Malala Yousafzai was hit in the head, but is reportedly out of danger Gunmen have wounded a 14-year-old rights activist who has campaigned for girls' education in the Swat Valley in north-west Pakistan.
Malala Yousafzai was attacked on her way home from school in Mingora, the region's main town.
Malala Yousafzai was just 11 when she was writing her diary, two years after the Taliban took over the Swat Valley, and ordered girls' schools to close.
In the diary, which she kept for the BBC's Urdu service under a pen name, she exposed the suffering caused by the militants as they ruled.
She used the pen-name Gul Makai when writing the diary. Her identity only emerged after the Taliban were driven out of Swat and she later won a national award for bravery and was also nominated for an international children's peace award.
Correspondents say she earned the admiration of many across Pakistan
One poignant entry reflects on the Taliban decree banning girls' education: "Since today was the last day of our school, we decided to play in the playground a bit longer. I am of the view that the school will one day reopen but while leaving I looked at the building as if I would not come here again." She has since said that she wants to study law and enter politics when she grows up. "I dreamt of a country where education would prevail," she said.

Oh, this world is terrible sometimes.
Why do we have to respect those barbarians intolerant?
Pepe, lo dominas todo. Hoy contestas en inglés, porque el texto está en inglés.
¡Cuántas Malalas hay en el mundo!
Mi solidaridad con ésta y con todas las que desconocemos y, por supuesto, en contra de la injusticia y la intolerancia.

Disparar a alguien cuyas únicas armas son libros, palabras y deseos de aprender es cargarse cualquier argumento. Así, quedan inservibles los ideales que estos bestias puedan defender.
Por Malala, por tantas niñas y mujeres como ella, para que se acabe esta barbarie.
