The Story of Malala Yousafzai

I have rights. I have the right of education, I have the right to play, I have the right to sing, I have the
right to talk, I have the right to go to (the) market, I have the right to speak up.
She’s become the voice for girls around the world. In 2011, CNN interviewed Malala Yousafzai, a
Pakistani girl who gained international headlines two years earlier for speaking out for girls’ education.
Through a blog, she wrote under a pseudonym.
When I see my name in the newspaper, I feel that… Yeah, God had given this honor to me and I should
accept it.
Malala’s life changed forever on October 9th, 2012. While on her way home from school in Pakistan Swat
Valley, a group of armed Taliban boarded her school bus, asked for her by name and shot her in the head.
Two of her classmates were also wounded in the attack.
But Malala’s injuries were so severe (that) doctors didn’t think she’d survive. She was airlifted to a
military hospital in Peshawar where she had surgery to remove the bullet lodged in her shoulder.
From the UAE to Germany to the U.S, doctors from around the world offered to treat the young girl.
But ultimately Malala flew to the U.K where she continued treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in
Birmingham.
When hearing about the attack, people around the world were inspired by her courage. Many attended
prayer vigils and lit candles.
We want justice!
Others stood in support of her efforts through rallies, holding up her picture and demanding change.
Malala was discharged from the hospital in January and underwent reconstructive surgery a month later.
In 2011, when asked why it was important for her to take up this cause, she told Arasis Saya:
I looked at my people and my school fellows and in the ban on girls’ education and the Taliban; so I
thought that I must stand up for my rights. The right of education, the right for peace.
Malala is attending school in the U.K but she continues her fight for education and worldwide support for
her continues, despite threats from the Taliban.
