October 9, 2012: Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafazi is shot
in the head by a Taliban gunman.
October 10, 2014: Malala Yousafazi is announced co-recipient
of the Nobel Peace Prize for her work for the right of all children to
education.
Malala began her activism early, writing blogs for the BBC Urdu
anonymously about the injustice they experienced from the Taliban. As time
progressed and the posts received more and more attention and after her
identity was revealed, her safety was challenged. She started receiving death
threats and the Taliban decided she was too much of threat and attempted to
assassinate her.
After winning the fight for her life, she now works harder
to fight for the right of all children to education. Becoming the youngest
recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize shows how her dedication to activism has
impacted so many people to join in on the fight and stand up for something. She
will continue to inspire people everywhere she goes to speak out against
injustice and fight for their rights with her story and her success.
