"I don't mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I am afraid of no one."
- Malala Yousufzai

	14-year-old Malala Yousufzai was shot and critically wounded on her way home from school because she promoted education for girls. Please make a donation to help fight for the rights of women and girls.

Dear ,
On Tuesday, the Taliban deliberately shot a 14-year-old Pakistani girl on her way home from school because she promoted education for girls.
Malala Yousufzai has campaigned for girls’ access to education in her region since she was 11 years old, and her father ran one of the last girls’ schools to defy a Taliban ban against female education in the Swat valley. The bullets that struck Malala's skull have left the young student in critical condition. Taliban militants said that if she survives, they would target her again.
Living free from violence and discrimination is a human right, yet everyday, in countries from Nicaragua to Afghanistan to Canada, millions of women and girls like Malala suffer from gender-based violence in their homes, in their communities, even at the hands of the state.
Girls and women everywhere deserve a better future.
Your contribution is needed to help Amnesty hold perpetrators accountable and stop the cycle of violence against women.
The Government of Canada has championed the International Day of the Girl, and yesterday major landmarks across Canada were bathed in pink lights in honor of the day. Pink is nice, but now it’s time to show the same leadership and courage that Malala has shown since the age of 11 and speak out against violence against women and girls and the discrimination that drives it.
One in three women has been affected by gender-based violence. Women are beaten, raped, mutilated and killed with impunity. Gender-based violence is a violation of the dignity and human rights of women and girls that also undermines the fabric of societies and stability of countries.
Please make a donation to Amnesty International today, to make sure our human rights campaigners have the resources they need to fight for women and girls like Malala.
Together, we will press forward until no government, no community, no people permit or promote violence against girls and women.
Thank you for all you do to defend human rights.
Sincerely,

Kate McInturff
Campaigner, Women's Human Rights
