8 March was UN International women's day, one day is not enough, I think women are one of the greatest hopes for the future, their move to finally take their proper place in our world is over-do and needed.
I believe this statement is 100% true. In evolution I can understand how women ended up as 2nd., the religions we used to build our world all promoted this as fact, maybe the biggest mistake in building our world ever made, however we evolved on all fronts, are concept and thinking also. I do see women as the ones who will help and maybe be the change to human history, so needed because they are by nature stronger, smarter and sensitive without many of the inherent problems men have never overcame by many. Equal rights for all girls and women may-be the best hope of mankind.
Malala is a hero to me, a survivor, very brave and intelligent, yet humble with a desire for simple rights, peace and opportunity. Today 16 years old only, born in the Swat Vally of Pakistan, village of Mingora. At 13 became a blogger, at 14 made a direct challenges to the uncompromising Tailbon, at 14 had threats and finally shot at close quarter on a school bus but lived. At 16 spoke to the UN and nominated for the Nobel Peace price, again in 2014 a nominee.
Yet today recovering from injuries, still holds to and fights for change, for rights, and still at risk and force to live abroad, is and will be a force for good in this world all with such a humble heart, my wish is for her to have a long life. What an inspiration for all young girls !

Happiness is oh so simple, a thankful heart the beginning of wisdom.
