Malala Yousafzai

After the work we've done in groups about the Nobel Prizes in the last years we had to choose a person who we like or has attracted our attention. The one that I have chosen is Malala Yousafzai.

For the ones who don't know, Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize recipient (she received it when she was 17 years old). She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native province of northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Yousafzai's advocacy has since grown into an international movement (Wikipedia).

I've chosen her because of the hard work she has done to gain the right of females to go to school in freedom. She started with this hard work when she was stopped and shot while going to school, the reason for this is because she wrote an article to the BBC about the situation in there, so the Taliban tried to kill her. But she never stopped trying. Before receiving the Nobel Prize she was also nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize.

I think she is an example to follow, because of the hard effort she has done for all of the female in her region, and that also led to all the females in the world.
