Malala Yousafzai was born 12th July 1997. She is now 17 years old. Malala was born in Mingora Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. Mingora is the largest commercial in Swat district. Her Mum’s name is Tor Pekai Yousafzai, her two brothers are Atal Yousafzai and Khul Yousafzai. Malala’s father is  Pakistani diplomat. Malala’s dream is to be a doctor. Malala could not walk to school with her father because he would draw the Taliban's attention. Her Religion has strict rules for women. For example in Saudi Arabia women are not allowed to drive.

Malala has won  3 awards which are the Nobel Peace Prize, Sakharov Prize and the Simone de Beauvoir Prize. Malala Yousafzai was the youngest teen to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In her country, girls did not have the basic right to education, she had to go undercover to school. When Malala got shot by a gunman on October 9th 2012, everything changed her life and she stood up for girls education. She (Malala) is a teen activist. Malala became the best known as an advocate for girls school in 2009. Malala never wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She just wanted to have an education.

Malala’s Quote:
“Even if I'm a Girl, even if people think I can’t do it, I should not lose hope”.
