Is Malala's father a good parent?

You know, my father was a great encouragement for me because he spoke out for women's rights, he spoke out for girl's education. And at that time I said that why should I wait for someone else, why should I be looking to the government, to the army that they would help us? Why don't I raise my voice, why don't we speak up for our rights?

"Tell me how can one live without daughters."

My father didn’t care. He says he looked into my eyes after I was born and fell in love.
