Human Rights Commission of Pakistan pays tributes to Malala
LAHORE: While hailing the UN decision to declare November 10 as Malala Day, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has urged the government and people of Pakistan to rise to the challenge the worldwide to pay a tribute to the young girl from Swat.
The commission said the government must make a solemn pledge to devote her energies to guaranteeing their children, especially girls, their right to education. The commission said the people of Pakistan had a reason to take pride in the fact that today (Saturday, the 10th of November) the whole world would be joining them in a tribute to Malala who had been accepted as a symbol of girls’ aspiration to receive the education and of their courage to stand up for this right.
But the distinction the brave girl from Swat has won for her country brings with it serious challenges to Pakistani state and its society both. Their task, in one sentence, is to ensure that all of their children, girls in particular, will have equal opportunities to acquire the quality education free up to the level constitutionally is required, and at affordable cost otherwise.
