Gul Makai (Malala's pseudonym)
Please tell us about your submission (maximum 600 words)
Malala Yousafzai is my favorite activist for female education. She's also one of the youngest noble prize winners in history. Strong women like Malala will repeatedly show us how women can change the world for the better through education. She will forever fight the patriarchal exclusion of women in education. A truly inspirational female role model.
What is something you learned about patriarchy and what is something you would like to change about what you learned?
Female education should be a priority in developing countries like mine (Mexico). In which women in STEM fields is still viewed as abnormal/weird.
I wish more women are encouraged to fight the system that is constantly trying to bring us down. An educated woman is a powerful element in our society, and perhaps that's what the patriarchy is most scared of.
