More About Malala Yousafzai

 On 9 October 2012, after taking an exam on a bus in Swat District, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban gunman in retaliation for her activism; the gunman fled the scene. Yousafzai was shot in the head and remained unconscious and in critical condition at the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, but her condition improved enough for her to be transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, UK. Her assassination attempt sparked an international outpouring of sympathy for her. According to Deutsche Welle, she may have become "the world's most famous teenager" in January 2013.



A fatw was issued against those who attempted to murder her by a group of 50 leading Muslim clerics in Pakistan weeks after the attempted murder. Governments, human rights organisations, and feminist organisations all condemned the Pakistani Taliban on a global scale. In response to the condemnation, Pakistani Taliban officials denounced Yousafzai even more, indicating plans for a possible second assassination attempt, which they justified as a religious obligation. Their statements drew even more international condemnation.

Following her recovery, Yousafzai rose to prominence as an advocate for the right to education. She co-founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organisation, with Shiza Shahid in Birmingham. In 2013, she co-authored I Am Malala, an international best seller. She received Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize in 2012 and the 2013 Sakharov Prize. She was co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize with India's Kailash Satyarthi. She was the youngest Nobel Prize laureate ever at the age of 17. She was the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary He Named Me Malala in 2015. Time magazine named her one of the world's most influential people in 2013, 2014, and 2015.In 2017, she was granted honorary Canadian citizenship and became Canada's youngest speaker in the House of Commons.

Yousafzai attended Edgbaston High School in Birmingham, England, from 2013 to 2017, where she earned a place at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, where she studied for three years for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). She will receive her diploma in 2020.
