MALALA YOUSUFZAI CASE IS A CLEAR PICTURE OF GENDER BASED PERSECUTION OF WOMEN IN PAKISTAN!

I AM MALALA YOUSUFZAI......


SHOULD MALALA BE GRANTED GENDER-BASED ASYLUM IN THE UNITED STATES?

THE ANSWER IS YES:

Please click on the following links to learn about MALALA's severe persecution in the hands of pakistan  extremist militant group which the government of her country is unable or un willing to control or stop.....Malala spoke out for the basic human right to education for girls and was shot in the head at close range by the extremists in Pakistan. Amazingly she survived but we dont know her prognosis yet.
Please click on the following links to learn about this horrific event and what the supporters of Malala have to say...

http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Thousands+rally+Pakistani+teen+blogger+Malala+Yousafzai+Taliban+promise+death+with+photos+video/7377858/story.html

If one Malala is so potent and strong to place the chief of the Taliban order her killed while he is still in HIDING then we can imagine what will happen if every girl and woman in pakistan becomes a MALALA!
The act of shooting in the head  the innocent, young and beautiful girl is to render her brain damaged and or paralized so she cannot speak out or write for her passion on girl education in islam.   It is an attempt to terrify other young girls to be submissive, obedient and not learn know or voice their basic human right to education.
Who has ever heard of killing a child because the child wants to go to school??????


IF ONE MALALA DIES A MILLION WILL BE BORN.

Malala and other similarly situated girls desrve political asylum protection and green card to permanently and safely live in the United states and continue their work freely.

Domestic Violence and Political Asylum.

Recent Landmark Victories in the Struggle for U.S. Immigration Laws to Recognize and Fully Protect  Human Rights Of Women:

To  be eligible for political asylum in the United States an individual must establish that he or she is a refugee under the Immigration and Nationality Act.  He or she must be outside his or her country of nationality, and be unable or unwilling to return to that country because of past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The applicant must prove that the feared persecution is either by the government or by groups or individuals the government is unable or unwilling to control.

Under Matter of L-R- (2010) and Matter of R-A- (2009), victims of domestic violence can  establish eligibility for asylum as members of a “particular social group”



If you have been a victim of domestic violence in your home country and wish to apply for GENDER BASED asylum green card in the United States you might be eligible.

For more details and consultation on your situation please contact me for an appointment and a confidential consultation.

REMEMBER......IF YOU DO OR DONT DO SOMETHING BY YOUR OWN FREE WILL, GIVEN THE CHOICE,..THEN IT IS NOT OPPRESSION!!!!!!

KNOW  that most women asylum seekers believe and say that " I decided not to tell anyone [what really happened to me] because it is a shame and it is hurting, and I thought maybe it is not necessary to mention. The only question [I was asked] was why I left my country so I just said the things that I was comfortable with and I didn't know ..."

UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO TELL >>>YOU WONT BE ABLE TO TELL!!!


KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO YA ALL!

THANK YOU.
