Teenager Shot By Taliban For Education Rights Has Now Graduated From Oxford University

When children insist on buying new video games, new cell phones, or a new iPad from their parents, a teenager from Pakistan started fighting for other female education rights. Resultant, the Taliban militants responded with bullets. We are talking about Malala Yousafzai who was honored with the Nobel Peace at the age of 17.

Who is Malala Yousafzai?
Born on 12 July 1997 in Swat, Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the story of Malala's struggle begins when she was studying in VIII. From 2007 to 2009, the Taliban occupied the Swat Valley. Fearing the Taliban people in the valley parents stopped sending girls to school and more than 400 schools were closed. There, one of the schools was also of Malala.

Malala, reading the first speech given at the age of 11, requested her father Ziauddin Yousafzai to get admission elsewhere. After this Malala took her father to Peshawar. It was here that Malala gave a famous speech in front of the national media at the age of just 11, titled How Dare the Taliban Take Away My Basic Right to Education? This incident changed Malala's life.

Malala was so shocked that she wrote a diary for the BBC from 2009 under another name 'Gul Corn'. In this, she opened the Taliban's illiteracy layer by layer in the Swat Valley. She mentioned that she could not watch her favorite Indian serial Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat due to the ban on watching TV. This led to Taliban sorrow. A few days later, in December 2009, Malala's father revealed that Malala is 'Gul Corn'.

She is fond of writing the Mazmoon diary, Malala wrote 'Today was the last day of school, so we decided to play a little longer on the field. I believe that one day the school will open, but on the way to leaving, I saw the school building as if I will never come here again. '

When the terrorists asked, Who is Malala?
Terrorists captured Malala's school bus on the day of 9 October 2012 by angry Taliban. Onboarding the bus, the terrorists started asking who is Malala? All the children kept looking silently towards Malala. All the terrorists shot a shot at Malala's head. She was seriously injured and was taken to the UK for treatment. There she was admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Malala was prayed all over the world and finally, she returned to her country after recovering from there.

The whole world gave the honor Malala when she came home after getting healthy, as the whole world had come to know her. She was honored with awards in many ways. On 19 December 2011, Malala Yusufzai received 'Pakistan's first National Peace Prize for Youth by the Pakistani Government. The Children's Rights Organization of the Netherlands was also awarded the International Children's Peace Prize. She was also awarded the Woman of the Year Award in 2013. Apart from this, many other countries honored Malala.

The UN made Malala's birthday, Malala Day 
The United Nations declared Malala Day on July 12, her 16th birthday, in the name of Malala fighting for the right to education of girls. Malala also wrote a book 'I Am Malala' in the year 2013.

World's greatest honor in 2014
Malala was awarded the world's largest prize, the Nobel Prize for Peace, on 10 December 2014. The Noble Prize was conferred jointly with Kailash Satyarthi of India at this event held in Norway. In this way, Malala became the youngest Nobel winner.

Recently she has graduated from Oxford University and if one wonders what comes next for one of the world’s most famous girls’ education advocates, Ms. Yousafzai, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, says she doesn’t know. But sleep, books, and Netflix are on the list.

“Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at Oxford,” Ms. Yousafzai wrote on Twitter, as she shared a picture with her family and one taken after a “trashing,” a ceremony in which students are covered with confetti, foam, and food after completing their exams.
