Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani teenager who in December 2014, at the age of 17, won the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for the education of girls and boys. At 14, Taliban extremists shot him,
At the age of 11, long after the Taliban regime closed the school where she studied in Swat Valley, Pakistan, and prohibited girls from receiving an education for a time, Malala began to write about the reality of girls in her village on a BBC blog, under the pseudonym Gul Makai. Three years later, on October 9, 2012, a Taliban terrorist shot him in the head and neck.
"They thought that the bullets would silence us but they were wrong, instead of silence thousands of new voices originated," said Malala Yousafzai once recovered. The young woman was transferred to a hospital in England in an ambulance plane made available to her by the United Arab Emirates and the Pakistani government. There she was operated and made a recovery of several months. The event impacted Pakistani society and the girl gained support there and around the world.
Despite the oppressive policy of women's freedoms imposed by the Taliban between 2007 and 2009, when they took de facto power in the Swat Valley, Malala's father, director of the school where she studied, conveyed to her the importance of Education. On July 12, 2013, when she turned 16, the girl was invited to the United Nations and it was declared Malala Day. In her speech she assured: "Islam is a religion of peace, humanity and brotherhood (...) It says that it is not only the right of each child to obtain an education but it is also their duty and responsibility."
"Today I am focusing on the rights to education of women and girls, because they are the ones who are suffering the most," Malala told the United Nations. According to the American media The Daily Beast, of the 700 thousand children who do not receive an education in Pakistan, 600 thousand are girls. Yousafzai continued to be publicly threatened by the fundamentalist group, however, she redoubled the bet and assured that she will continue her political career: "The power of education and the voice of women terrify the extremists."
