Answer 3

Malala Yousafzai was a Pakistani schoolgirl and, since the age of just 11, a political activist. She also won the Nobel Peace Prize and is the youngest person to ever win the award in history.

Her home town in Pakistan was constantly under attack by the Taliban as they tried to take control of the valley area the town occupies. The Taliban strongly disagree with women going to school, so it was not uncommon for them to attack schools in Pakistan, specifically targeting girls to try and scare them away.

In 2011 and 2012, she secretly wrote articles for the British Broadcasting Corporation detailing life in an area which was constantly a daily battle between the Taliban and the Pakistani army, specifically how difficult life was for women just to get education because of the Taliban. The New York Times saw the stories and were given permission by the British Broadcasting Corporation to film a documentary with Malala, to further raise awareness of the situation to the world.

On the 9th October 2012, after the documentary, she was ambushed on her way back from school and shot in the head and neck by Taliban assassins. She was just 15 years old at the time. She lost consciousness and was in extremely critical condition, but miraculously she did not die.

By this time, the British government decided to intervene. The British Prime Minister offered and ordered a military medical evacuation of Malala from Pakistan to the United Kingdom, so she can receive proper medical treatment for her injuries. The United Arab Emirates also helped by clearing their runway at Dubai Airport and invited the British convoy to a priority landing there, so they could refuel fully for a quicker home journey.

When she fully recovered, the Taliban said that they would still target her until they were successful. So, the British government offered her asylum in the United Kingdom, where she remained under protection of the British government to complete her education. Completing her education was her strongest wish.

She has now founded an organisation called District Child Assembly Swat - (Swat being the name of her district), which is recognised by the United Nations department, UNICEF. Malala also plans to open a charity foundation called Malala Education Foundation, which helps poor children get to school.

Today, she is a rising political influence in Pakistan and campaigns for free education and women's rights to have education.

She was voted the most inspirational woman on Earth in 2012.

On the 12th July 2013, her 16th birthday, she stood in front of world leaders at a televised conference in the United Nations to demand free and safe education for all children on the planet.

In October 2013, the anniversary of the events, she was awarded the Pride of Britain award.
