I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban .

# data[].attributes.body
Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, the largest city in the Swat Valley in what is now the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. She is the daughter of Ziauddin and Tor Pekai Yousafzai and has two younger brothers.

At a very young age, Malala developed a thirst for knowledge. For years her father, a passionate education advocate himself, ran a learning institution in the city, and school was a big part of Malala’s family. She later wrote that her father told her stories about how she would toddle into classes even before she could talk and acted as if she were the teacher.

In 2007, when Malala was ten years old, the situation in the Swat Valley rapidly changed for her family and community. The Taliban began to control the Swat Valley and quickly became the dominant socio-political force throughout much of northwestern Pakistan. Girls were banned from attending school, and cultural activities like dancing and watching television were prohibited. Suicide attacks were widespread, and the group made its opposition to a proper education for girls a cornerstone of its terror campaign. By the end of 2008, the Taliban had destroyed some 400 schools.

Malala Yousafzai, a teenage girl from Pakistan, was victimised by a Taliban terrorist attack  on 9th October 2012. Despite her horrific injuries, Malala’s response may seem strange, as she did not seek revenge for those who attacked her. Not only did the incident strengthen her courage and her fight for every child’s legal right to an education, Malala shed light upon one of the world’s most powerful weapons, education.
If we lack the support from a teacher and the essential materials, our education would not be enabled. Around five million children around the world are out of education, but this can be changed. Every child has the right to provision. Every child should have an equality of opportunity to receive an education. And every child has the right to learn of current and past world affairs, just like Malala’s story. With knowledge, society can be changed. Therefore, one child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

If I wasn’t given these essential materials, I would not be the person I am today. I would not be here today. This is Malala’s inspirational vision .

Malala is inspiring because she is speaking up for the rights of those who have no voice. She bravely holds a lamp for girls to be educated. Her unwavering commitment to her values even before she was recognised as a global sensation. ... Malala's shown it just takes one voice to make change.

Conclusion

In conclusion Malala Yousafzai is a women of courage and ambition. She started at a very young age giving speeches locally telling everyone how the Taliban wasn't going to stop her from receiving an education. She was recognized quickly for her ambition and goals.  She managed to do this all under a death threat from the Taliban. Eventually a man went onto Malala's school bus and shot her in the head, leaving her in critical condition. About a year later she was able to start school in Birmingham, England. Ms. Yousafzai received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.  She was then later to create the Malala Fund which helps provide girls' education around the world.

THE INSPIRATION

DID YOU KNOW?

Yousafzai has no memory of the shooting that made her so well known.

Yousafzai not only loves cricket but also plays it, which is unusual for a Pakistani girl.

Some in Pakistan disapprove of Yousafzai because of her association with the West or her ideas about how women should act .
