Who Is Malala Yousafzai?

Malala Yousafzai is the girl who spoke out about the difficulties girls face gettingan education in Pakistan, the country where she was born and where she lived at thetime. She put her life in danger for this. Her efforts were so heroic that she isnow a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Taliban rules

Life was difficult for many women in the Swat District, where Malala Yousafzai wasborn. They had very little freedom, with rules about where they could go and withwhom, and even what they should wear. A Muslim (see pages 89) was powerful in the area and enforced these rules. In January 2009,it said that girls should not be allowed to go to school.

I speak not for myself, but so those without a voice can be heard. Those who havefought for their rights. Their right to live in peace. Their right to be treatedwith dignity. Their right to of opportunity. Their right to be educated.

THE PASHTUN PEOPLE

Malala Yousafzai and her family are Pashtuns. Pashtuns are a group of people wholive in northwest Pakistan and southeast Afghanistan. They speak their own language,called Pashto. More Pashtun people live in Pakistan than Afghanistan. It is thoughtthat Pashtuns moved to Pakistan between the 13th and 16th centuries.

Becoming a target

Malala Yousafzai wasnt afraid to speak out. As a result of the attention that shegained, she became a target for the Taliban. When her family received threats fromthe Taliban, Malala Yousafzai started traveling to school by bus instead of walking.On October 9, 2012, she was shot in the head by the Taliban on the way home fromschool. Amazingly, she survived.
