Let our girls enjoy their childhood without fear

Malala Yousafzai was shot for going to school in Pakistan.

Women fear the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and the loss of their freedom. A female student was horribly raped and murdered in India. Islamic fundamentalists are imposing Sharia law on women in northern Mali. I could go on. I won't except to say that, by comparison, Britain is a paradise for girls.
