AB The present paper examines ideological persuasion in discourses and reflects the importance of linguistics for society. By following a Critical Discourse Analysis, the aim of this study is to analyze a persuasive discourse whose linguistic mechanisms lead to the transmission of an ecofeminist ideology. This movement is indeed grounded in the existing relation between domination over women and nature (Gaard 1), conceiving the fight against patriarchy as a suitable solution (Warren, Ecofeminist Philosophy 64). In order to achieve this socio-linguistic connection, the discourse under study is delivered by a victim of patriarchy, Malala Yousafzai, who overtly claims educational equity before the United Nations Youth Takeover in 2013. The analysis is based on Fairclough’s approach to CDA (57), where he states that meaning in discourses arises from the combination of the text, its discourse practice and socio-cultural practice.
