Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997 and is a Pakistani
activist. She was the youngest person to receive a Nobel Prize. She is known primarily for defending women's human rights and access to education in her home region of the Suate Valley in Pakistan's northeastern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where the local Taliban prevent young people from attending school. Since then, Malala's activism has become an international movement. Malala's family has managed several schools in the region. In early 2009, when she was 11-12 years old, Malala wrote a blog for the BBC under a pseudonym, in which she detailed her daily life during the Taliban occupation, their attempts to control the valley and her views on promoting education for young women in the Suate valley. The following summer, the New York Times published a documentary about Malala's daily life while the Pakistani army intervened in the region. Malala's popularity increased considerably, giving interviews in the press and on television and being nominated for the international Children's Award by South African activist Desmond Tutu. On the afternoon of October 9, 2012, Malala was on bus in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and armed man called her by name, pointed a pistol at her and fired three shots. One of the bullets hit the left side of the forehead and travelled inside the skin, along the face to the shoulder. In the days following the attack, Malala remained unconscious and in serious condition. When her clinical condition improved, she was transferred to a hospital in Birmingham, England. On October 12, a group of 50 Pakistani Islamic clerics issued a legal ruling based on Islamic law against the men who tried to kill her, but the Taliban tried again to kill Malala. The assassination attempt triggered a movement of national and international support. Deutsche Welle wrote in 2013 that Malala had become "the most famous teenager in the world". United Nations special envoy for global education Gordon Brown launched a UN petition in Malala's name with the slogan I am Malala, demanding that all the world's children be enrolled in school by the end of 2015, a petition that pushed for the rectification of the first right to education law in Pakistan. On April 29, 2013, Malala was on the cover of Time magazine and considered one of the 100 most influential people in the world. On July 12 of the same year, Malala spoke at the headquarters of the United Nations, calling for universal access to education. Malala was also honored with the 2013 Sakharov Prize. In February 2014, she was nominated for the World Children's Prize in Sweden. On October 10, the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Malala was announced for her fight against the repression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. At just 17 years old, Malala shared the Nobel Prize with Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian children's rights activist
