Malala Yousafzai’s life is the story of courage against terror.

Born in Mingora, Pakistan, in 1997, Malala was raised in a household that valued education. When the Taliban banned girls from attending school, Malala began writing under a pseudonym for the BBC, documenting life under extremism.

Shot but Not Silenced
In 2012, the Taliban attempted to assassinate Malala for her activism. Shot in the head, she survived, becoming a global symbol of resistance. Her recovery in the UK turned her story into a movement for education rights.

Global Impact
Malala became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2014. Her foundation now champions girls’ education worldwide, ensuring millions have access to learning.

Why She Matters
Malala proves that even the youngest voices can transform the world. She embodies the belief that education is the most powerful weapon against inequality and extremism.
