In
October 2012, the attempted murder of 15-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl Malala
Yousafzai shocked the world. This
chilling crime was a response to Malala’s tireless dedication to the campaign
for girls’ education: Malala had been blogging about the situation in Pakistan,
and had taken part in documentaries and interviews.

Despite receiving threats of violence, she
refused to stop campaigning, showing immense dedication and bravery. Since the attack, Malala has continued her
activism, and is now a global figure representing the rights of women and
girls. Recently, she spoke before the
United Nations, and she has even co-written her own memoir, “I Am Malala”,
about her life as an activist. Despite the
terrible violence she has experienced, Malala continues to fight for girls’
education, showing great dignity, maturity and courage.
