‘’One child, one teacher, one book and one
pen can change the world‘’
This is what Malala Yousafzai said. She is an important Pakistani activist.
HER LIFE
In 2004 the Taliban began to control the Swat Valley, where Malala lives, and
quickly became the dominant socio-political force throughout much of
northwestern Pakistan. Girls were banned from some activities, like attending
school. So Malala gave a speech in Peshawar in September 2008. Malala became
an internally displaced person. However she used the media and continued her
public campaign for her right to go to school. Her activism resulted in a
nomination for the International Children's Peace Prize in 2011. That same year,
she was awarded Pakistan's National Youth Peace Prize.
