Malala Yousafzai is a young Pakistani woman whose childhood and adolescence were heavily marked by the presence of the Taliban in her country. At the age of 11, she started a blog for the BBC in which she talked about her daily life under the control of religious extremists and criticised the situation in her country. Later on, she gave a number of speeches (in schools, at demonstrations, at public speaking contests, during politicians’ visits, etc.) with the aim of promoting education for girls. In 2012, she survived an attempt on her life and became famous across the world.

Malala gave a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in 2013, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, created a foundation to promote education, and published her autobiography I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban.
