It has only been about three to four years since Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban for standing up for education. Since then, she has told her story in her memoir I Am Malala, and starred in the documentary about her life He Named Me Malala. Malala also became the youngest person ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Once she was released from the hospital after she was shot, she began attending a school in Birmingham, “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.” (Profile: Malala Yousafzai – BBC News) Malala has told her story and she continues to fight for education.

Malala was a special girl. She lived in Mingora, Pakistan, where it eventually was controlled by Taliban. She attended a school that her father founded which was taken away by the laws against education for girls that the Taliban was creating to destroy. In the year of 2009, she became a blogger for BBC to talk about the horror of the control that the Taliban were achieving. But on the same year, she was threatened was eventually shot in the head by a Taliban. It was an ordinary day and “Malala was sitting in her school bus when a man climbed on board and demanded to know “Which one of you is Malala?” When she answered, “I am Malala”, the man opened fire” (Kennedy- Macfoy). However she survived the bullet and actually gave one of the biggest messages ever, education for all girls. No one knew should would live and will make a change on the gender roles towards education, especially the Tailban who thought they have gotten away of the assassination. She gave a lot of speeches towards this powerful disapproval of women education and to create a stand that women deserve the right to education themselves. As her ideas and message became to spread, “she became one of the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize” (Kettler).

Malala Yousafzai speaks out after she was shot by the Taliban on the left side of her head for attending school.

Her speech was intended to bring awareness to people that education should be available to males and females.
Malala was only 10 and as she already understood the major issue of her home country, Pakistan, as regards to their position on women’s rights. She realized in Pakistan women did not have as many rights as men such as the right of education. From that moment, she knew that she would fight for peace and democracy for the Pakistan women in her future.
After the accident, she didn’t suffer any major brain damage. In March 2013, she attended school in Birmingham. The shooting led to a lot of support for Malala. She used that as motivation to give a moving speech on her birthday, and release her first book, “I AM Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education And Was Shot By The Taliban.” Malala is still considered a target to the Taliban today.
Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani Women’s Right Activist, is known for her fight against Educational rights, especially for women. Malala is an example we should all follow. She has shown perseverance throughout her whole life. “Malala Yousafzai defied the Taliban in Pakistan and demanded that girls be allowed to receive an education.” Malala didn’t listen to them and kept quite like everyone else, instead she fought. “When the whole world is silent, even one voice become powerful.” Malala believed that education is important, and no one has right to steal that from her, or anyone else. “She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012” because she was working against the Taliban.

It began as an ordinary day in Mingora, Pakistan, for a young girl returning home from school on her school bus. Suddenly, a masked gunman rushed into the bus and shouted, “Who is Malala?” Her friends on the bus looked back at her, and in the blink of an eye she was shot on the left side of her face. This incident was the spark that ignited a call for change in education around the world. Malala Yousafzai was the face of this change. She made significant contributions to female education rights by being an education activist and urging children to speak out and fight for their rights. She forever changed the lives of Pakistani girls who today benefit from free education and resources with numerous schools around their country.
Malala is a young teenager who demands that girls should be allowed to receive an education, while she challenges the Taliban in Pakistan.

On October 9, 2012, she gained global attention when she survived an assassination attempt by a Taliban gunman, who shot her on the left side of her face. However, this did not stop her from insisting that girls deserve an education. As a matter of fact, this pushed her to go around and inform the girls of their rights. In October 2014, Yousafzai received the Nobel Peace Prize for her bravery; at age 17, she became the youngest person to acquire this award. Malala continues to speak out about her right, and the right of all women, to get an education.

Malala Yousafzai was a talented and brave young woman who had one goal in life: to get an education and encourage others to do the same. Born in Pakistan, Malala did not grow up with many resources, but she was lucky enough to have a father that shared the same goal as her. At the young age of fifteen, she was shot in the face by the Taliban for standing up for girls’ rights to an education. Although the recovery time was long and hard, the Taliban did not silence her as she continued her campaign. This eventually led her to opening her own school in Yemen and writing the novel I Am Malala. As someone who highly values education and bravery, her story made me interested in learning more about her culture, family, and experiences.
Throughout the span of the human race, many people and organization have stood up for the right of others. Some scientists raced against time to produce vaccines that saved millions if not billions of lives. On the other hand, many speakers traveled across the globe to promote individual’s freedom and rights. In wartime, more people regardless of their backgrounds worked tirelessly to save lives of many individuals who faced genocide. Undoubtedly, history has foretold that at any moment in time, people are working tremendously so that other people may have a better world to live. Regarding education, Malala Yousafzai, known as Malala, has put all her efforts in promoting education to every child living on earth. She was a target of an insurgent group, but now she is the savior of many children. Thanks to her works, many children now have an education which they have never once dreamed they would have. Her moral courage will be a legacy that she leaves for humans.
October ninth, two-thousand twelve, fifteen year old Malala Yousafzai boarded a school bus which would take her and other students home from school. The school bus was stopped by two members of the Pakistani Taliban. One went to the front of the bus to interrogate the bus driver. The second man entered the passenger part of the bus, called for Malala by name and fired three times. One of the bullets hit Malala at point blank near her left eye, traveled down into her shoulder and became lodged.
And because of this, on Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school by the Taliban. Barely grazing her skull, she survived and had a miraculous recovery. Luckily, she was transferred to a hospital in Birmingham with safer conditions to recover. It was then too dangerous for her family to return to Swat so they stayed in the UK. Now Malala goes all around the world raising her voice towards the importance of having an education. She is even the youngest person to ever receive a Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17. In the end of the novel, she wrote her reason of writing this book: to bring awareness to the many children being denied the right of an education and to bring empowerment to the many young women reading
What is Malala doing now ? One year later Malala spoke at the united nations. In her speech she thanks her doctors and nurses for saving her and to the whole world for praying for her. Malala says “Women and children are suffering in many parts of the world in many ways. In India, innocent and poor children are victims of child labour. Many schools have been destroyed in Nigeria. People in Afghanistan have been affected by the hurdles of extremism for decades. Young girls have to do domestic child labour and are forced to get married at early age. Poverty, ignorance, injustice, racism and the deprivation of basic rights are the main problems faced by both men and women. Dear fellows, today I am focusing on women’s rights and girls’ education because they are suffering the most. There was a time when women social activists asked men to stand up for their rights. But, this time, we will do it by ourselves. I am not telling men to step away from speaking for women’s rights rather I am focusing on women to be independent to fight for themselves.Dear sisters and brothers, now it's time to speak up.” She is encouraging girls to speak up for their rights she is giving these girls a goal and she's showing them that they're not alone . There are so many children out there that wanna go to school that don't want to live the way they do Malala is giving them a voice. She is taking a stand for everyone who cant.
