Malala came from a tourist village, in the Swat Valley District. This valley was taken over by the Taliban when she was very young, and this recent tourist town became a stronghold for an iron fist. The Taliban denied women the right of education, and this made Malala an anti-Taliban activist, just like her father. Already Malala defied the Taliban when she was just 12, blogging for the BBC under the identity of Gul Makai.  She used a fake name to go under cover, but in December in the same year she was revealed. By now the Taliban have issued a death threat against her, and in 2012, while she was in a bus, she got shot in the head by a Taliban assailant. After this, she was rushed to a military hospital, where she fought for a year. Then in 2013, she was able to return to school. Malala's life has been a hard fought battle for education rights, and alot of history happened along the way.]]> 2017-03-21 00:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/161356925 lrey1 https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/161357110 2017-03-21 00:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/161357110 lrey1 https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/164501201 They defied the Taliban by protesting to give women and girls the right of education. She challenged this because she thought that women were more than capable than men, and when the Taliban took that education away from her, she was enraged. I can see where she is coming from, because if school was taken away from me, I would get nowhere in life. Now Malala used secret undercover blogging to expose the Taliban to the BBC, and after this she acted openly, giving speeches in many places.]]> 2017-04-04 00:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/164501201 lrey1 https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/164501230 Malala was born in Swat Valley, Pakistan. It took only a couple of years for the Taliban to take over, and the once lovely tourist town was effectively made into a prison. Malala decided to follow in her fathers footsteps, and become an anti-Taliban activist. Malala began blogging to the BBC about the situation in her town, and just under a year after, she was revealed. Now the Taliban could find out who she was and what she was doing, the issued a death threat against her, which led her to be shot in the left side of her skull. She recovered after a year, after being sent to the military hospital, then the Birmingham hospital in England. She continued to go against the Taliban to this day. Her fight for women's education is still an extraordinary story of perseverance and strength.]]> 2017-04-04 00:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/164501230 lrey1 https://padlet.com/lrey1/v5i9bi6qa4sw/wish/164501259 Kettler, Sara.
