Biography

He was born on 20 April 1969.[1] Ziauddin's father was the orator Rohul Amin Yousafzai, who was also a teacher of theology at a government high school and Imam of the local mosque.[1][2]

He an educational activist himself. He was a teacher and used to run a chain of schools known as the Khushal Public School,[3] named after a famous Pashtun poet, Khushal Khan Khattak,[4] as well as being a member of the Rotary Club of Swat.[5]

Yousafzai wrote an autobiography titled Let Her Fly which was published in November 2018.[6]

Early childhood

Growing up, Ziauddin had a stutter. Since his father was an educational activist, Ziauddin was inspired. Even though he had a stutter, he wanted to prove to his parents that he would be able to learn and speak correctly.[1]

Education

Ziauddin Yousafzai attended Jahanzeb College located in Swat, Pakistan. During his time in college, he was made general secretary of the Pakhtoon Students Federation (PSF), a student group that wanted equal rights for Pashtuns. Yousafzai graduated from Jehanzeb College with a Master's in English.[1]

When his daughter, Malala, was old enough to start understanding that at a certain age girls were prohibited to attend school, he inspired her to stand up and speak up. Instead of attending school, girls would have to stay home and learn how to cook for their brothers and fathers. When he created his schools after college with his friend Naeem Khan, they would of course be open to teaching girls who would strive to keep learning and going to school. He supported every woman who wanted to become successful in life and not stay illiterate like many women in Pakistan.[1]

On June 11, 2015, Yousafzai received an Honorary doctorate of law from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada for his commitment to peace, as well as his ongoing efforts for the educational rights of girls in Pakistan and beyond.[7]

Personal life

Yousafzai has an older brother, Saeed Ramzan, and five sisters. He has a wife, named Toor Pekai, a daughter, Malala, and two sons, Khushal and Atal. His first daughter (circa 1995) was stillborn.[1] Ziauddin has been seen on interviews with his daughter, being able to speak fluent English, Urdu, and Pashto.

Other activities

Ziauddin did a sit down interview with the current affairs program The Agenda.[8] He also gave a speech for TED Talk where he describes the reasons he encourages his daughter to speak up for women's rights. In his speech, he recalls never seeing his sisters' names written on paper growing up, and going to school while they all had to stay home. He attributes his activism to these facts.

Honours

In 2017, Yousafzai was awarded, along with his daughter, an honorary doctorate from the University of Ottawa.[9]
