Activism from the heart
I had the honour of listening to the author at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair in April. While he spoke, I had tears streaming down my cheeks and when I ended his book, my face was wet again.This man has a light shining from the inside of his soul, guiding his path towards change and the courage it takes to create it. What I especially love about the book is the honesty that comes through. The biggest challenge for his advocacy for women's rights wasn't the Taliban or conservative people around him. It was the inner fight against old Ziauddin, who was raised as a privileged man in a patriarchal society, and the Ziaduddin with longing for a new world... And what a world he created for all of us, by raising his Malala.I love the way he has structured the book with a chapter for each of his family relationships. When I read about his relationship to wife Toor Pekai, I came to a sentence that echoes what I had been saying on the same stage at the book fair, just an hour before I listened to Ziauddin. I was one of the authors in a panel about Women in the UAE. And I commented how all of us suffer from oppression an inequality, echoed in this is a quote in Ziauddin's book, where he writes about being newly wedded and behaving differently than the men around him in the village, p94: "What I discovered was that in feeling Pekai's freedom with me, I, too, felt free. She enriched my life by being herself."This is a wonderful reading experience, my wish is that all men around the world gets to enjoy this book.
