Question

Talk about the role of Malala's parents, especially her father, Ziauddin. If you were her parents, would you have encouraged her to write and speak out? This is the book I am Malala. Ty

Answer 1

Malala’s father, Ziauddin has been a great father because he had been a huge influence on Malala regarding women’s education. In Pakistan, people believe that women shouldn’t get education because it wasn’t worth it and was unnecessary. However, Ziauddin thought otherwise because he believed that women should be treated equally.

If I was Malala’s parent, I would encourage her to pursue writing and to never be afraid to speak out because doing so would make a huge difference to the world’s views.
