  • Malala Yousafzai made her first public speech in 2008 entitled "How Dare the Taliban Take Away My Basic Right to an Education."

    In 2009, her blog "Diary of a Pakistani Schoolgirl" made headlines for depicting life under Taliban.

    Desmond Tutu nominated Malala for the International Children's Peace Prize in 2011. The same year she won Pakistan's National Youth Peace Prize.

    Her treatment began first in Pakistan but was then moved to Birmingham, England.

    The attack jolted the world into outrage, while support for her poured from all over the globe.
