Malala Yousafzai Biography

Malala Yousafzai was born on 12 July, 1997 in Pakistan. She grew up with her two younger brothers in the city of Mingora.[pic 3]

Malala had a happy childhood. Her father, Ziauddin, was a teacher and ran a school for girls where Malala could attend.

Many girls in Pakistan did not go to school.[pic 4]

Malala was a bright girl and dreamt of one day becoming a teacher, a politician, or a doctor[pic 5]

At the young age of 11, Malala began advocating for girls' education. She spoke out against the Taliban stating, "how dare the Taliban take away my right to education?”

Her speech was covered by newspapers and TV channels.

The Taliban were strict Muslims that said that women should not be allowed to vote or have jobs. They demanded that all girls' schools be shut down. About this time, Malala’s father was approached by the BBC. They wanted a female student to write about her life under Taliban rule, so Malala began writing a blog called ‘Diary of a Pakistani Schoolgirl'.

The Taliban were not happy about this and Malala received many death threats.

On 9 October, 2012, Malala was taking the school bus home. A man boarded the bus and shot Malala, the bullet struck Malala in the head, but luckily she survived. After many surgeries, Malala went back to school six months later after the attack.

Malala gave a speech to the United Nations on her sixteenth birthday. She spoke about wanting all girls to go to school and get an education, stating "invest in books, not bullets." She also spoke about opportunity and peace for all.

Malala's memoir 'l am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban', was published in October, 2013.

On 10 October, 2014, Malala became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
