Malala Yousafzai

Why is Malala important

Malala advocates for young women everywhere And her organization, Malala Fund, is changing the world.

She's fighting for every child's right to go to school Last year, on July 12, when the United Nations declared the teenager’s birthday “Malala Day,” the youngster stood up to addr

She's also tremendously compassionate Malala one day left completely speechless a famous Interviewer when she said: “I would tell him how important education is and that I would even want education for your children as well. That’s what I want to tell you. Now do what you want.”

She is tremendously brave, as early as 2008, Malala had already begun her fight for education rights. Even when she has received a murder attempt, she has kept her fight defending women rights. She totally defends that the women should and almost must have same education as men do.

Personal opinion

I found Malala very inspiring, what she has done being only 21 years old its outstanding for me, even when she has received such as a terrible murder attempt, she keeps fighting for her and all women rights. I was listening to her when she read her speech at UN on July 12, 2013, and listening to each word coming out of her mouth was really breath taking. Specially when she said "I am here to speak up for the right of education of every child. I want education for the sons and the daughters of all the extremists especially the Taliban." That is the kind of people who can make a change in our world. She is very passionate when defending women and she strongly does that. She won't give up even if a Terrorist wants to end with her life, she won’t let haters stand in her way. Thats really admirable.

Murder attempt

The attempt of murder initiated an international outpouring of support for Yousafzai. Deutsche Welle reported in January 2013 that Yousafzai may have become "the most famous teenager in the world".

Yousafzai was hit in the head with a bullet and remained unconscious and in critical condition at the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, but her condition later improved enough for her to be transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, UK.

On 9 October 2012, while on a bus in the Swat District, after taking an exam, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban gunman in an assassination attempt in retaliation for her activism; the gunman fled the scene.

Personal Charateristics

At just 21 years old, Malala Yousafzai has lived more than an old man of 70: at 14 she survived an murder attempt; at 16 she published a best-seller and this week she became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. With such a history, anyone would think that the Pakistani girl had to give up the dolls to mature by force, but the truth is that for her the struggle for the education of women is standing still, almost as an obligation with which she was born. I can say from the next quote that Malala is a person who fights for her rights with her entire life, she is persistent and she is even capable of stop leaving her own life, to fully involve in the fight of human rights. "I am dedicated to that cause and I think I can dedicate my whole life to it. I do not care how long it takes me". She doesn't give much importance to the part of being famous, even when she has won a Nobel price, being the youngest person who has ever received this recognition.

Important Life Events

Yousafzai attended Edgbaston High School from 2013 to 2017,[17] and is currently studying for a bachelor's degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.

In 2014, she was the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi. Aged 17 at the time, this made her the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate.

In 2012, she was the recipient of Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and the 2013 Sakharov Prize.

Based out of Birmingham, she founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organisation,[10] and in 2013 co-authored I am Malala, an international best seller.

Following her recovery, Yousafzai became a prominent activist for the right to education.

The attempt of murder iniciated an international outpouring of support for Yousafzai. Deutsche Welle reported in January 2013 that Yousafzai may have become "the most famous teenager in the world".

On 9 October 2012, she was shot by a Taliban gunman in an attempt of murder because of her activism.

In 2009, when she was 11 years old, she wrote a blog with another name for the BBC Urdu detailing her life during the Taliban occupation of Swat Valley, which was the region where she lived.

Considering Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Benazir Bhutto as her role models, she was particularly inspired by her father's thoughts and humanitarian work.

Malala was born in her house in Mingora, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, with the help of neighbours.
