Ziauddin Yousafzai Keynote Speech at Pegasus Conference - May 3, 2014
I had the honour to introduce Ziauddin Yousafzai at Pegasus Conference - an international on Peace, Global Health and Sustainability in Toronto, Canada to the audience. The conference was aimed at to find the way forward on issues such as: peace through health, eco-health, advocacy and turning marginalized communities into healthy ones. The conference was attended by physicians, doctors, medical students, academics, policy makers and peace- builders.
Ziauddin was keynote speaker at the conference. He spoke on wide ranging issues such as: militancy, geo-political interventions, systemic atrocities, social issues, poverty, and our peoples resilience, contributions to peace, longing for education, society reform and building healthy society along side vulnerabilities.
Ziauddin received a standing ovation and prolonged applause. Zaiuddin finished his speech with Faiz's poem " ...Raj Karay Gee KhalQ -e - Khuda" and people will be the owner of their destiny.
Many people commented that Ziauddin educated them about AfPak and Pashtuns in a simple and clear way
Video will be shared in few days.
