Many years ago our country made the decision to give women an equal chance to have an education like men. But in other places around the world women are still having to fight for this right. As the years go on the girls who fight for this right get younger and younger. In Pakistan a 14 year old girl was shot in the head and neck on a school bus by the Taliban for fighting for the right to get a good education. She will undergo several MRI's and other procedures before they had the actual surgery. All of her hospital bills are being taken care of by the Pakistani Government. Many people there consider her a "battle victim" in these terrorist wars even though she has taken a very small contribute. The former British Prime Minister stated that he was going to start a petition to get proper education to women.
