    Quotation: Could you read this, please?

    So, this is an attempt of telling her story.

    1997- Malala Yousafzai was born on the twelfth of July of 1997 in Mingora, Pakistan.

    Her father knew it was not easy to raise a bay girl but he wanted her to have the same
    opportunities as boy children did.

    Her father was a teacher and ran a girls’ school in their village. Malala was influenced by her
    father and loved knowledge from a very early age.

    2008

    Everything changed in 2008. The Taliban said girls could no longer go to school.

    In January when she was just 11 years old she said goodbye to her classmates.

    But she continued her secondary school elsewhere in Pakistan (and later in England).

    Her father took her to local press to protest against school closings and she gave her first
    speech “How dare the Taliban Take Away My Basic Right to Education”

    2009

    In February 2009 Malala appeared for the first time in television.

    Do you Know who Gul Makai?

    Malala used this penname to write for the BBC and spoke about her life under Taliban rule and
    how much she wanted to attend school. Her first entry was “I am afraid”.

    2012

    On the twenty-ninth of October, Yousafzai was on the bus returning home from school. Two
    members of the Taliban stopped the bus and asked “Who is Malala?” They shot her in the
    head. She was sent to a military hospital and then taken to England. After 10 days in an
    induced coma, she woke up in Birmingham, in England.

    She gained global attention when she survived this attack

    She recovered and returned to her studies and activism.

    2013

    Among many awards, she won the United Nations Human Rights Prize and she addressed an
    audience of five hundred people at the United Nations in New York City and she coauthored a
    memoir I Am Malala: the Girl who Stood UP for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

    2014
    Malala and her father created the Malala Fund to support women and girls. Because of this she
    met Syrian refugees, young women from Kenya and spoke out against the terrorist group Boko
    Haram (that abducted young girls to stop them from going to school)

    In December she received the Nobel Peace Prize and became the youngest-ever Nobel
    laureate.

    2018

    She started studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Oxford.

    She goes on fighting to ensure all girls receive 12 years of free, safe quality education.

    She travels to many countries to meet girls fighting war, child marriage and gender
    discrimination to go to school.

    2020

    She graduates from Oxford University
