UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer: Malala wins the Nobel Prize! No one in the world is more courageous than her. At the age of only 12, she began to risk her life by telling the world about the Talibans oppression of girls in her region in Pakistan. All she wanted was the right to learn. In revenge, the Taliban went on to her school bus and shot her in the head. Sadly, the Nobel award announcement below fails to say how Malalas defiance of Jihadi radicals in her region exemplifies the larger war to subjugate women that is now being carried out by a rapidly increasing amount of terrorist groups around the world, who are encouraged by an even larger group of ideological sympathizers. As ISIS enslaves more and more women in Syria and Iraq, as Boko Haram in Nigeria still holds the kidnapped girls, our human rights prize committees need to confront these murderous misogynists with moral clarity. Just like Malala did.
