celebration in Pakistan, but my
father, Ziauddin 4 m a s k e d Yousafzai, was
determined to give d me every
opportunity a boy would have.
2008. My father was a teacher and ran a girls’ school in our village. I loved school, but everything
changed when the Taliban took control of our town.
The extremists banned many things like television and playing music. They said girls could no longer go
to school. In January 2008, when I was just 11 years old, I said goodbye to my classmates, not knowing
when, if ever, I would see them again.
2012. I spoke publicly on behalf of girls and our right to learn, and this made me a target. In October
2012, on my way home from school, a masked gunman boarded my school bus and asked, “Who is
Malala?” He shot me on the left side of my head. I woke up 10 days later in a hospital in England.
2018. Now I am studying at the University of Oxford. Every day I fight to ensure that all girls receive 12
years of free, safe, quality education.
I am determined to fight until every girl can go to school. With my father I established the Malala Fund,
a charity dedicated to giving every girl an opportunity to have the future she chooses.
Because of this, I received the Nobel Peace Prize in December 2014 and became the youngest ever
Nobel Prize winner.
