Malala galvanizes Pakistan, world to fight for education for girls
Efforts to improve education for girls throughout the developing world now have "an icon for a global movement" in Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl seriously wounded last week by Taliban gunmen who viewed her advocacy for girls' education as "promoting Western culture." Yousafzai "is being adopted as every child's sister and every parent's daughter," writes Gordon Brown, former prime minister of Britain, where she was flown over the weekend for medical treatment. Tens of thousands of people rallied in her support Sunday in the Pakistani capital, Karachi.
