Malala Yousafzai

We admired Malala because she is an icon of solidarity. She is 17 years old she is our peer she is a teenager like we but she is teaching around the world of solidarity she struggle for equality between men and women and peace. She is an example for everybody.

The story of Malala starts one day when she was going to the school in Pakistan, in this time she started write a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban occupation. She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native Swat Valley in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Malala's advocacy has since grown into an international movement.

On the afternoon of 9 October 2012, when she was going to the school a gunman asked for her by name, then pointed a pistol at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of Malala's forehead, travelled under her skin through the length of her face, and then went into her shoulder. In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition, but later her condition improved enough for her to be sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England, for intensive rehabilitation. Despite what happened she would not budge and continued to fight. The assassination attempt sparked a national and international outpouring of support for Malala.

On 10 October 2014, Malala was announced as the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. At age 17, Malala is the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate .Malala shared the prize with Kailash Satyarthi, a children's rights activist from India. She is the only Pakistani winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is proof that everyone can try to improve the world despite the obstacles, we can all be Malala.
