In this day, after Malala rode home on a bus after an exam, two Talibans came inside the bus and asked "Who is Malala?" and was later shot 3 times in the head because she spoke out on girls education and the Taliban but still survived. This may be related to a current event because in Afghanistan, there is still a ban on girls education and is the only country in the world with these restrictions. The U.N says more than 1 million girls are affected by the ban. Education for girls is prohibited because the Taliban says "it doesn't comply with their interpretation of Islamic law" and for the past 2 years girls can't attend high school.
