Today we had two research lessons. Unfortunately Lucienne was away and we had to improvise her part.
Today we had two research lessons. Unfortunately Lucienne was away and we had to improvise her part.
We decided that we were going to start with girls in Australia and show the contrast between them and the girls in Nigeria. We worked on the computers for a while and we found this:-
The Taliban are a Sunni Islamic extremist group based in Afghanistan who emerged in 1944.
The Taliban wish to remove foreign forces from their country.
They claim to follow a pure Islamic value however, they’re violence and bad treatment towards women contradicts what they claim.
They claim to follow the Sharia law. The Sharia law is a set of rules for muslims about how to run their life. The Sharia law is very commonly misunderstood as it, in the past, has been associated with stoning people to death and amputating limbs.
Women have been stripped of many human rights – any education for girls often leads to death by the leaders.
Twelve of them were the parents of girls who were kidnapped three months ago by militant group Boko Haram.
The two others were Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani woman just turned 17, and her father Ziauddin.
"I am going to stand up for them," she said.
She decided that she must mark Malala Day by coming to Nigeria and appealing for the release of the kidnapped girls and the right of all children here to an education.
Nigeria has one of the world's worst records for education. More than 10 million children aged between 6 and 11 - 42% - are not in school. There is a shortage of more than 200,000 primary school teachers.
The parents share a powerful feeling that in spite of their loss, they have been shut out and ignored. The government hasn't talked to them at any stage. It hasn't even shown them much sign of sympathy.
Mike Omeri, the co-ordinator of the government's anti-terror campaign, insists that they know where the girls are and that they are safe.
But the families are deeply worried by Boko Haram threats to marry the girls off to the movement's fighters, against their will. Some are afraid their daughters have been raped.
There seems to be a total stalemate. Boko Haram says it will free the girls in exchange for the release of Boko Haram prisoners from Nigerian jail.
Our class then had a Millie moment, where parents came in and we all had to be very prim and proper in front of them.
We then we outside and started acting our piece out:-
1. starts off with Australian girls being very rude to the teacher
2. then quickly transition into Malala and spotlight on me with the taliban circling me.
