Malala and the Invisible Girls
Malala Yousafzai is one of the world's most visible teenage girls. Shot in Pakistan for daring to fight for every girl's right to education, the 15 year old is now recovering in a Birmingham hospital. Her country's interior minister says she is a "symbol of courage and determination" against "extremist ideology". Around the world, people are declaring I am Malala and backing a petition by the UN Special Envoy for Global Education, Gordon Brown, supporting Malala's drive for education for all. However, on a recent visit to Pakistan, I found many teenage girls in the opposite position - hidden from public view, almost invisible.
