From a young age, Malala was determined to get an education. Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, was an outspoken educator and activist, and he encouraged her to speak out about the importance of education, especially for girls. When Malala was just 11 years old, she began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu under a pseudonym, detailing her life under Taliban rule and her dreams of going to school.

On October 9, 2012, when she was just 15 years old, a Taliban gunman boarded her school bus, shot her in the head, and left her for dead.

but continued her mission. She was flown to the UK for treatment and rehabilitation, and the attack only made her more determined to fight for girls' education worldwide.

She continued her advocacy on the world stage, speaking at the United Nations and becoming the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 at the age of 17. Through her work with the Malala Fund, Malala has been advocating for girls’ education and empowerment around the world, particularly in areas affected by conflict.
