When the whole world is silent even one voice is powerfull
Malala Yousafzai was born on 12 July 1997 in the Swat District of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber province, into a Muslim family .. she grew up in the swat valley In her house in Mingora, she lived with her two younger brothers, and her parents.
Malala shared her father’s passion for learning and loved going to school. In 2009, as the Taliban’s military hold on Swat intensified, Malala began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service under a pseudonym, about fears that her school would be attacked and the increasing military activity in Swat. Television and music were banned, women were prevented from going shopping and then Ziauddin was told that his school had to close.Malala and her father received death threats but continued to speak out for the right to education. Around this time, Malala was featured in a documentary made for The New York Times and was reconized as the bbc blogger.
On 9 October 2012, a Taliban gunman shot Yousafzai as she rode home on a bus after taking an exam in Pakistan's Swat Valley. The masked gunman shouted "Which one of you is Malala? Speak up, otherwise I will shoot you all"and, on her being identified, shot at her. She was hit with one bullet, which went through her head, neck, and ended in her shoulder.After the shooting, Yousafzai was airlifted to a military hospital in Peshawar, where doctors were forced to begin operating after swelling developed in the left portion of her brain, which had been damaged by the bullet when it passed through her head.After a five-hour operation, doctors successfully removed the bullet, which had lodged in her shoulder near her spinal cord. The day following the attack, doctors performed a decompressive craniectomy, in which part of the skull is removed to allow room for the brain to swell.
On 15 October 2012, UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown, a former British Prime Minister, visited Yousafzai while she was in the hospital,and launched a petition in her name and "in support of what Malala fought for".Using the slogan "I am Malala", the petition's main demand was that there be no child left out of school by 2015, with the hope that "girls like Malala everywhere will soon be going to school"Brown said he would hand the petition to President Zardari in Islamabad in November.The petition contains three demands:We call on Pakistan to agree to a plan to deliver education for every child.We call on all countries to outlaw discrimination against girls.We call on international organisations to ensure the world's 61 million out-of-school children are in education by the end of 2015.The young women won 42 prizes including the national youth peace prize , national children's peace prize and was nominated women of the year in 2013 including the nobel peace prize witch made her the youngest women to recieve this award.
An exemple for every person! malala a fighter for human rights...
Personally i think that malala is a big example for bravness for courage and most importantly shes an idol for every young girl who would dream to fight for her country for her rights and the rights of others malala never gave up and always had hope for a better future and she believed that GOD would be with her in everything she would do and all of this made her survive up till now and have the power to make a change when hope seemed lost... althought she can't go back to her country due to the many threantens that taliban sent againset her she stood up better than before each time and prooved her worthy and the importance of education for girls. I honestly think that a girl as wise as her and as brave should be an exemple for evryone in acheiving their dreams.
