Malala encourages social media usage as political weapon

Mexico City, Sep 1 (IANS) Pakistani Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai encouraged youngsters here to use social media platforms as a political weapon and on issues that they truly care about, such as equality, women’s rights and education.

The 20-year-old activist warned of the danger of discrimination on social network and the media in her remarks on Thursday during a press conference at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education in Mexico City, reports Efe news.

Youzafzai said if online discrimination persists, people will start thinking that they need to hate Mexicans, Muslims or Catholics.

“Thanks to technology, young people could now be more involved in the politics of their countries,” she said.

When asked about the xenophobic remarks of US President Donald Trump which usually appear on his social media accounts, Youzafzai said that his behaviours were wrong.

She said although people should follow their tradition, culture and nationality, they should not follow the hate because it hurts others.

Youzafzai was also concerned about the situation of women in Latin America and called for equal right to education.

Youzafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize when she was 17, making her the youngest Nobel laureate to date, began her fight for equality at the age of 11, resisting the fundamentalist Taliban’s prohibition of local girls going to school.

She was also a blogger for the BBC under a pseudonym, which allowed her to tell the world how her country had been caught up in terror.

Youzafzai, who got accepted into the Oxford University, said that there were countless benefits a country could receive if it educated children.

She also expressed her concerns about the refugees from Latin American countries who have been displaced along the borders of Mexico and the US.

Although Youzafzai praised the works and efforts of President Enrique Pena Nieto, whom she met earlier in the day at the presidential palace, she concluded that there was still a long way to go for Mexico regarding the issue.

Malala Youzafzai said she looks up to the likes of Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, and other world leaders who fight for equality.
