MALALA YOUSAFZAI
Malala Yousafzai was born in a small town of Mingora in Pakistan. Malala loved going to school and her early childhood was one of happiness and peace. She dreamt of becoming a teacher. The Taliban began to take over the region where she lived. The Taliban decided that women were to stay at home and they believed that girls should only do household chores. The Taliban decided that the girl schools had to be shut down. This is when Malala started to write a blog for the BBC, under a pseudonym, describing her life under the oppressive rule of the Taliban. She soon became famous and started speaking in public about the treatment of the Taliban. One day after school, on October 9, 2012, Malala was shot by a Taliban while she was on a bus back home. She was hit in the head and neck. Her conditions were so critical, so she was transferred to a hospital in Birmingham, England. She miraculously survived the injuries and after a long time of recovery, she was able to begin attending a school in England. This terrible act, endeared this brave little girl to everyone around the world and further strengthened the girl education campaign. When Malala was only 16 years old, she toured the entire world to promote the cause of education for the girl child. Many famous people have invited her, including the Queen of England.
In 2018, she returned to Pakistan for the first time since her brutal 2012 attack. She met the Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, and made an emotional speech at his office.
"In the last five years, I have always dreamed of coming back to my country" she said, adding, "I never wanted to leave."
