A Woman s Worth She gave life. She is a wife. she is a mother and she is a friend. she is a sister, a survivor to the end. appreciate her, we don t dare! ask her worries, we don t care. wipe away her tears, they are invisible as air. she works, cooks and clean. she laughs, helps, and hides her pain. when you struggle, she pulls you through. all this is she! and what do we do to her? complain and create a mess. provide stress and leave her feeling depressed. push her away and ignore her advice. tell her she is nothing without thinking twice! she was raped, tortured and abused. told she was nothing and would always be used just for pleasure. she swallows her pride, put her feelings aside, does everything as you need, in order to make you free. ignores your ignorance and tolerates your flaws. you call her nothing. she answers with pride, dignity and a complete loss of self.

Biography of Malala Malala was born on 12 July 1997 in Mingora, Swat Valley in Pakistan. She started speaking about the rights of education in 2008 when she was just 11 years old. She was an educational campaigner who came to public attention by writing for BBC Urdu about life under Taliban. When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, she refused to be silence and raised her voice against them. Encouraged by her father to express her thoughts, she became more vocal in voicing her opinion of women s right to education. This angered the Taliban and they issued a death threat against her. In October 2012, she was shot dead as she was returning from school. She miraculously survived the horrific attack and returned to activism even more determined than before. The attack on Malala caused Pakistan to create their first ever Right to Education Bill. She became the youngest ever person to be awarded the Nobel Prize in 2014 jointly with the Indian activist, Kailash Satyarthi. Her birthday was celebrated as Malala Day through out the world. In 2013, she published her autobiography, I AM MALALA: THE GIRL WHO STOOD UP FOR EDUCATION AND WAS SHOT BY THE TALIBAN. She got a honourary doctorate from the University of King s College. She received over 40 honours and awards due to her heroic and incredible activism. She believed that One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. She considered 21 P a g e
education as the most powerful weapon than everything else. In October 2015, a documentary namely HE NAMED ME MALALA was released, which gives viewers an intimate look into the life of Malala.

Swami Vivekananda's Speeches The World Parliament of Religions, Chicago Chicago, Sept 11, 1893 Sisters and Brothers of America, It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions, and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects. My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from far-off nations may well claim the honor of bearing to different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings: "As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee." 27 P a g e
The present convention, which is one of the most august assemblies ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita: "Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to me." Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal. CONCLUDING ADDRESS - Chicago, Sept 27, 1893 The World's Parliament of Religions has become an accomplished fact, and the merciful Father has helped those who labored to bring it into existence, and crowned with success their most unselfish labor. My thanks to those noble souls whose large hearts and love of truth first dreamed this wonderful dream and then realized it. My thanks to the shower of liberal sentiments that has overflowed this platform. My thanks to this enlightened audience for their uniform kindness to me and for their appreciation of every thought that tends to smooth the friction of religions. A few jarring notes were heard from time to time in this harmony. My special thanks to them, for they have, by their striking contrast, made general harmony the sweeter. 28 P a g e
Much has been said of the common ground of religious unity. I am not going just now to venture my own theory. But if any one here hopes that this unity will come by the triumph of any one of the religions and the destruction of the others, to him I say, "Brother, yours is an impossible hope." Do I wish that the Christian would become Hindu? God forbid. Do I wish that the Hindu or Buddhist would become Christian? God forbid. The seed is put in the ground, and earth and air and water are placed around it. Does the seed become the earth, or the air, or the water? No. It becomes a plant. It develops after the law of its own growth, assimilates the air, the earth, and the water, converts them into plant substance, and grows into a plant. Similar is the case with religion. The Christian is not to become a Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of growth. If the Parliament of Religions has shown anything to the world, it is this: It has proved to the world that holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and that every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character. In the face of this evidence, if anybody dreams of the exclusive survival of his own religion and the destruction of the others, I pity him from the bottom of my heart, and point out to him that upon the banner of every religion will soon be written in spite of resistance: "Help and not fight," "Assimilation and not Destruction," "Harmony and Peace and not Dissension."
