Malala Yousafzai

And for him, it was simple.

Like, why could his sisters... Like, why could he go to school while his sisters could not?

It was as simple as that.

And for him, you know, it was like, okay, how do I need to do things differently?

For my daughter, he was a teacher as well.

And that makes a huge difference because teachers love to listen because they know that you can learn, you can...

comprehend things if you are allowed or given the space to question it, to process it at your own pace.

So I think that teacher personality was also there.

The point that you mentioned about how men can have privileges in patriarchy, and a lot of men just love to continue that, even if they know it's wrong, even if they're aware of it.

But I think what my father saw was the potential in having a more liberated society.

And he would always call my mom beautiful, but also wise.

My mom never went to school.

My mom never got to learn English and all of these languages and other subjects like when she was in Pakistan.

But my father was always appreciating her wisdom and he knew that she was hardworking.

She was looking after the kids.

And he could see the same potential in his daughter as well.

So when a man truly liberates himself, that's when he's able to see women as equal humans.

And I think that's the power he found out.

And that's when he was able to break the patriarchal norms and do things differently.

And they just redefine what pride means.
