The public reaction to the attack on Malala has at least been a cause for hope. Protests against the attack have been held in several Pakistani cities. Baacha Khan Trust Educational Foundation, (BKTEF) participated in the International Day for Girl Child in all 14 Baacha Khan Schools across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Four thousand students were involved and participated in organized walks and prayers for Malala. Along with their support for Malala, these students sought to highlight the importance of girls’ education and the need to secure a better future for the young girls of Pakistan. Baacha Khan Trust Educational Foundation works for peace, democracy, human rights, and development with an emphasis on education, particularly for women and girls. Most of the students and teachers in the 14 Baacha Khan Schools are girls and women. The Baacha Khan Trust Educational Foundation works with women and girls in some of the most challenging areas in Pakistan through its Community Education Committees. Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) has also been active in its condemnation of Malala’s attack.
