‘He Named Me Malala’ screening
In observance of Women’s History Month, the public is invited to a free screening of “He Named Me Malala” at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, UCB Room 100.
The film is a portrait of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani educational activist who was wounded when Taliban gunmen opened fire on her and her friends’ school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley in 2012. The then 15-year-old teenager, who had been targeted for speaking out on behalf of girls’ education, was shot in the head, sparking international media outrage.
Yousafzai has since emerged as a leading advocate for the rights of children worldwide and in December 2014 became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
The event is sponsored by the UH-Hilo Women’s Center. For disability accommodation, contact Lehua McClung at 932-7380, 932-3334 (TTY), or lmcclung@hawaii.edu.
