Malala Yousafzai began her activism at age 11, when she anonymously blogged about life under the Taliban in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, particularly the ban on girls’ education. Over the next few years, she advocated publicly, giving speeches and interviews, and attracting media attention and awards. At age 15, she was shot in the head by the Taliban for speaking out. After months of surgery and rehabilitation in the United Kingdom, she continued her campaign to see all girls in school. In 2014, Yousafzai received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her work for education and equality. Yousafzai graduated from Oxford University in 2020. She is the best-selling author of three books and president of Extracurricular Productions.
