Malala Yousafzai

Who is Malala Yousafzai? Nationality: Pakistani Age: 17 Job: Human Rights Activist & Blogger When she was young, Malala lived in Pakistan under Taliban rule.

Before When she was just 11 years old, Malala wrote a blog for BBC Internet under a pseudonym. In writing this blog, she risked her life. Her goals were to expose the acts of the Taliban and to promote education for women. Unfortunately, the blog made her a target for the Taliban.

The attack In 2012, when Malala was 15 years old, an armed man boarded her school bus. He asked, “Where is Malala Yousafzai?” When she responded, he shot her in the face with a pistol.

Malala survived the attack and recovered. She received a large amount of support from many nations. Today, she continues her work as an activist, speaking out for the importance of worldwide education.

This year,Malala is the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

In America, Malala became famous after an interview on a popular political TV show, called The Daily Show. The show is normally comical, but when Malala spoke, it became quite serious. The host was shocked with Malala’s maturity and compassion.

In the exchange, Malala says that if she saw her Taliban attacker again, she would not defend herself with violence. She says that violence would make her “no different from the Taliban.” She says we must fight violence with “peace, dialogue, and education.”

In my opinion, Malala is a hero for her work. In the face of tremendous obstacles, she represents intelligence, courage, and feminism. I also find her impressive because of her young age. She is only 17 years old.
