Jarosław Leszek Wałęsa (PPE), in writing – The miraculous recovery of Malala Yousafzai is yet another testament to the courage of this remarkable young woman. In Pakistan there are people who want to use guns to prevent girls from being educated. When the Taliban took control of the Swat area of Pakistan they banned girls from going to school. Malala’s diary for the BBC following the ban was the first step in her campaign for female education. She risked her life by standing up to those who systematically victimise women and practise gender apartheid. Even after the Pakistani military had pushed the Taliban out of the cities in Swat, Malala’s life was in danger. Ultimately she paid the price for her courage when she was shot by the Taliban earlier this month. As Malala lies in hospital in the UK, I pray for her full recovery. I am proud to have voted for this resolution and I hope that women from all over Pakistan, all over the world, will be inspired by Malala’s bravery.
