“He Named Me Malala” is a documentary film made on
Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani female activist and Nobel Peace Prize
laureate. From a very early age, she raised her voice against all the odds made
by the Taliban. Malala lived in Swat Valley was occupied by the Taliban.
Taliban thought that female education was not necessary and was against Islam.
For that reason, they take the step to stop female education. They destroy
schools and colleges. People who raise their voices against them are often
killed by them. No person is allowed to make a statement in the newspaper
against their stand.
From a very early age, Mala was a brave girl and she
was very concerned about female education, the right to equality, and also against
discrimination of all kinds. She believes that education gives the power to
question things. When the Taliban made the move to stop female education, she raised
her voice and gave an interview on the TV channel. For that reason, the Taliban thought
that she was an initial thereat for them and that’s why they took the decision
to kill her. Fortunately, Malala survives after being shot in the forehead by
Taliban personnel. After survival, she does her work more strongly and raises
her voice for female education, child education, and equality for all
irrespective of their identity.
While analyzing this movie from the 'human rights' perspective, it shows that human rights such as the right to education, the right to
equality, the right to life and liberty, and also freedom of speech are violated.
