Since then she has been shot in the head by
the militants, and has become the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace
Prize and accepting the award
in Oslo on 10 December, she said she was "humbled" and proud to be
the first Pashtun and the first Pakistani to win the prize.
When she was shot in the head in October
2012 by a Taliban gunman, she was already well known in Pakistan, but that one
shocking act catapulted her to international fame. She was discharged from hospital in
January 2013 and her life now is unimaginably different to anything she may
have envisaged when she was an anonymous voice chronicling the fears of
schoolgirls under the shadow of the Taliban.
She was named one of time magazine's most
influential people in 2013, put forward for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2013, won
the European Parliament's Sakharov price for Freedom of Thought and her
autobiography "I Am Malala" was released last year, and reversion for
younger audiences.
Militants destroyed scores of girls schools in the time the Taliban
wielded power over the valley. And her identity as the girl blogger from Swat eventually became
known as she became more vocal on the subject of the right of girls to
education
When she finally returned to Swat, Malala
took advantage of the improved security and went back to school. Malala and her
family were the subject of threats and it was on 9 October 2012 that these were
borne out.
The Taliban said that they targeted her for
"promoting secular education" and threatened to attack her again.
Shs began attending Edgbaston High School in
March and her father has been given a job with the Pakistani consulate in
Birmingham for three years.
But she has continued her campaign and
taken it around the world.
A fund set up in her name helps children in
education around the world. Among other trips, she has travelled to Nigeria,
meeting President Goodluck Jonathan to press for action to free the 200 girls
held by Boko Haram Islamist militants.
It is all a far cry from the girl who wrote
in her diary only four years ago: "Today, I also read my diary written for
the BBC in Urdu. My mother liked my pen name Gul Makai. I also like the name
because my real name means 'grief stricken'."

I think Malala is a brave girl. She can do many things that most people dare not. When she was young, she knew the importance of education and tried hard to let everyone studying. While an accident because of her ideal happened, she still insisted on what she thought. Now, she is working hard on education no matter girls or boys.
回覆刪除It was so cruel to shoot a little girl. And the reason was so ridiculous!!! Malala just wants everyone can go to school for education. She is almost the same age as us, but her brave is stronger than us. I admire her ambition and her actions. She won the Nobel prize is of course.
回覆刪除I thing Malala is a really brave girl. Think about that what were we doing when we are 14? She is fighting with her rights to education. It is not a general people who can do it . I thing she won the Nobel Peace Prize is deserved
