Malala Yousafzai ( Mal? is Y? safzay : Urdu: ????????????? ? ?; Pashto: ????? ????? ? [m? 'la: l? jus? f' z? j] ; for female education and youngest Nobel Prize winner. He is known for human rights advocacy, especially the education of women and children in the Swat Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, northwest Pakistan, where local Taliban sometimes prohibit girls from going to school. His views have developed into an international movement, and according to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, he has become the "most prominent citizen" in the country.
Yousafzai was born in Mingora, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. His family came to run a chain of schools in the area. Considering Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Benazir Bhutto as his role models, he is primarily inspired by his father's thoughts and humanitarian work. In early 2009, when he was 11-12 years old, he wrote a blog under a pseudonym for BBC Urdu detailing his life during the Taliban occupation in Swat. The following summer, journalist Adam B. Ellick made a documentary about his life as the Pakistani military intervened in the region. He became famous, gave interviews in print and on television, and he was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize by activist Desmond Tutu.
On October 9, 2012, while on a bus in the Swat District, after taking the test, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban gunman in an assassination attempt in retaliation for his activism; the gunman escaped from the scene. Yousafzai was hit in the head with a bullet and remained unconscious and in critical condition at the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, but his condition later increased enough for him to be transferred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England. Efforts for his life sparked international support for Yousafzai. Deutsche Welle reported in January 2013 that Yousafzai may have become "the most famous teenager in the world". For weeks after the assassination attempt, a group of fifty prominent Muslim clerics in Pakistan issued the fatw? against those who tried to kill him. Taliban officials responded to criticism by further criticizing Yousafzai, who showed plans for a possible second homicide attempt justified as a religious obligation. Their statements resulted in further international condemnation.
After his recovery, Yousafzai became a prominent activist for the right to education. Based in Birmingham, he founded Malala Fund, a nonprofit organization, and in 2013 jointly wrote I am Malala, the best international salesman. In 2012, he is the recipient of Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and Sakharov Award 2013. In 2014, he is the recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi. Aged 17 at the time, this made him the youngest Nobel Prize winner. By 2015, Yousafzai is the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary He Named Me Malala. The magazine issue Time 2013, 2014, and 2015 shows it as one of the most influential people globally. In 2017, he was awarded Canadian citizenship and became the youngest person to handle the House of Commons of Canada. Yousafzai attended Edgbaston High School from 2013 to 2017, and is currently studying for a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.

Initial life
Little
Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997 in the Swat District in the northwestern province of Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, into a lower middle class family. She is the daughter of Ziauddin Yousafzai and Tor Pekai Yousafzai. His family is a Sunni Muslim Pashtun. The family did not have enough money to give birth at the hospital and as a result, Yousafzai was born home with the help of a neighbor. He was given his first name Malala (meaning "mourning") after Malalai from Maiwand, a poet and a famous Pashtun warrior woman from southern Afghanistan. His last name, Yousafzai, is the name of a major Pashtun tribal confederation dominant in Pakistan's Swat Valley, where he grew up. At his home in Mingora, he lives with his two younger brothers, Khushal and Atal, his parents, Ziauddin and Toor Pekai, and two pet chickens.
Current in Pashto, Urdu, and English, Yousafzai was educated mostly by his father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, who was a poet, a school owner, and an educational activist himself, running a private school chain known as Khushal Public School. In an interview, Yousafzai once stated that he wanted to be a doctor, though later his father encouraged him to become a politician. Ziauddin called her daughter a very special thing, allowing her to stay awake at night and talk about politics after her two brothers were sent to bed.
Inspired by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Yousafzai began talking about educational rights in early September 2008, when his father took him to Peshawar to speak at a local press club. "How dare the Taliban take my basic right to education?", Yousafzai asked his audience in a speech covered by newspapers and television channels across the region. In 2009, Yousafzai began as a trainee and then a peer educator in the Pakistan Open Minds Institute for War and Peace Reporting youth program, working in schools in the region to help young people engage in constructive discussions on social issues through tools of journalism, public debate and dialogue.
As a BBC blogger
At the end of 2008, Aamer Ahmed Khan from the BBC Urdu website and his colleagues came up with a new way to mask the growing influence of the Taliban in Swat. They decided to ask students to blog anonymously about his life there. Their correspondent in Peshawar, Abdul Hai Kakar, had been in contact with a local schoolteacher, Ziauddin Yousafzai, but could not find a student willing to do so, because it was considered too dangerous by their families. Finally, Yousafzai advised his own daughter, Malala, 11 years old. At that time, Taliban guerrillas led by Maulana Fazlullah took over the Swat Valley, banning television, music, girls' education, and women going shopping. The body of the decapitated policeman was displayed on the town square. At first, a girl named Aisha from her father's school agreed to write a diary, but then the girl's parents stopped her from doing so because they were afraid of Taliban retaliation. The only alternative is Yousafzai, four years younger than the original volunteer, and in seventh grade at the time. The editor of the BBC unanimously agreed.
"We have covered violence and politics in Swat in detail but we do not know much about how ordinary people live under the Taliban," said Mirza Waheed, a former editor of the BBC Urdu. Because they were concerned about Yousafzai's safety, the BBC editor insisted that he use a pseudonym. His blog was published under the "Gul Makai" ("cornflower" in Urdu), a name derived from a character in the Pashtun folklore.
On January 3rd, 2009, Yousafzai's first entry was posted to the BBC Urdu blog. He will write a letter and then pass it on to a reporter who will scan and e-mail them. The blog recorded Yousafzai's thoughts during the First Battle of Swat, when military operations took place, fewer girls showed up to school, and eventually, the school closed.
In Mingora, the Taliban have established a decree that no girls can attend school after January 15, 2009. The group has blown up more than a hundred girls schools. The night before the ban came into effect was filled with artillery fire, waking Yousafzai several times. The next day, Yousafzai also read for the first time a quote from his blog that has been published in a local newspaper.
Banned from school
Following the order, the Taliban destroyed several local schools again. On January 24, 2009, Yousafzai wrote: "Our annual test is because after the holidays but this will only be possible if the Taliban allow women to go to school." We were told to prepare certain chapters for the exam but I did not feel like studying.
In February 2009, women's schools were still closed. In solidarity, private schools for boys decide not to open until February 9, and notices appear by saying so. On February 7, Yousafzai and his brother returned to their hometown of Mingora, where the streets were lonely, and there was "a frightening silence". "We went to the supermarket to buy gifts for our mothers but it was closed, whereas before it was open until late, many other stores also closed", he wrote on his blog. Their home was robbed and their television was stolen.
After the children's schools are reopened, the Taliban revoke the restrictions on girls' basic education, where there is a companion education. Women's special schools are still closed. Yousafzai wrote that only 70 students were present, of the 700 enrolled students.
On February 15, gunfire was heard on the streets of Mingora, but Yousafzai's father assured him, saying "Do not be afraid - this is a shooting for peace." His father had read in the newspapers that the government and militants would sign a peace agreement the next day. That night, when the Taliban announced a peace deal in their FM Radio studio, another round of strong shots started outside. Yousafzai spoke out against the Taliban at the current national affairs event Capital Talk on February 18. Three days later, local Taliban leader Maulana Fazlulla announced on FM radio that he was lifting a ban on women's education, and girls would be allowed to go to school until the exam was held on March 17, but they had to wear a burqa.
Girl Girls school reopened
On February 25th, Yousafzai wrote on his blog that he and his classmates were "playing a lot in the class and enjoying themselves as they used to be". Attendance at Yousafzai's class reached 19 out of 27 pupils on March 1, but the Taliban are still active in the area. The shootings continued, and relief items intended for displaced people were looted. Just two days later, Yousafzai wrote that there was a battle between the military and the Taliban, and the sound of mortar fire could be heard: "People are again afraid that peace may not last long.Some people say that a peace treaty is not permanent, it just breaks in battle. "
On March 9, Yousafzai wrote about the science paper he did well, and added that the Taliban were no longer looking for vehicles as they used to. The blog ends on March 12, 2009.
As an abandoned
After the BBC diary ended, Yousafzai and his father were approached by Adam B. Ellick's New York Times reporter on documentary filmmaking. In May, the Pakistani Army moved into the region to regain control during the Second Battle of the Swat. Mingora was evacuated and Yousafzai's family fled and split. His father went to Peshawar to protest and lobby support, while he was sent to the countryside to live with his family. "I was really bored because I did not have a book to read", Yousafzai filmed said in the documentary.
That month, after criticizing militants at a press conference, Yousafzai's father received a radio-killing threat by a Taliban commander. Yousafzai was deeply inspired by his activities by his father. That summer, for the first time, he was committed to being a politician and not a doctor, as he had aspired to.
In early July, refugee camps were filled with capacity. The prime minister made the long-awaited announcement and said that it is safe to return to the Swat Valley. The Pakistani military has pushed the Taliban out of towns and into the countryside. The Yousafzai family reunited, and on July 24, 2009 they went home. They made a first stop - to meet with a group of other grassroots activists who had been invited to see US President Barack Obama's special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke. Yousafzai begged Holbrooke to intervene in the situation, saying, "Dear Ambassador, if you can help us in our education, so please help us." When his family finally returned home, they found it undamaged, and his school only suffered minor damage.
Initial activism
Following the documentary, Yousafzai was interviewed at the Pashto AVT Khyber national language, Urdu Aaj , and Canada Harian Bintang . He made his second appearance at Capital Talk on August 19, 2009. His BBC blogging identity was being revealed in an article in December 2009. He also began appearing on television to advise the public for women's education. From 2009 to 2010 he was chairman of the Khpal Kor District Children's Assembly until 2009 and 2010.
In October 2011, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a South African activist, nominated Yousafzai for the International Children's Peace Prize from the Dutch International Children's Group, the KidsRights Foundation. He was the first Pakistani girl to be nominated for the award. The announcement said, "Malala dares to defend himself and other girls and use national and international media to tell the world that girls should also have the right to go to school." The award was won by Michaela Mycroft of South Africa.
His public profile increased further when he was awarded Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize two months later in December. On December 19, 2011, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani gave him the National Peace Prize for Youth. In the process of respecting him, Yousafzai stated that he was not a member of a political party, but hoped to establish his own national party to promote education. The prime minister directed the authorities to set up an IT campus at Swat Degree College for Women at Yousafzai's request, and the high school was renamed in his honor. In 2012, Yousafzai plans to organize the Malala Education Foundation, which will help poor girls go to school.

Murder attempts
When Yousafzai became better known, the danger faced by him increased. The death threat against him was published in the newspaper and tucked under his door. On Facebook, where he was an active user, he started receiving threats. Finally, a Taliban spokesman said they were "forced" to act. At a meeting held in the summer of 2012, Taliban leaders unanimously agreed to kill him.
On October 9, 2012, a Taliban gunman shot Yousafzai as he boarded the bus home after taking an exam in Pakistan's Swat Valley. Yousafzai was 15 at the time. According to reports, a masked gunman shouted, "Who among you is Malala? Speak, otherwise I will shoot all of you," and, after being identified, Yousafzai was shot with a bullet, which pierced his head, neck, and ended. on his shoulder. Two other girls were also injured in the shootings: Kainat Riaz and Shazia Ramzan, both quite stable after the shootings, to talk to reporters and provide details about the attack.
Medical care
After the shooting, Yousafzai was flown to a military hospital in Peshawar, where doctors were forced to start operating after the swelling developed on the left side of his brain, which had been bullied by bullets as it passed through his head. After a five-hour operation, the doctor managed to remove a bullet, which had been lodged in the shoulder near the spinal cord. The day after the attack, the doctor performed a decompression craniectomy, in which the skull part was removed to allow room for swelling.
On October 11, 2012, a panel of doctors in Pakistan and Britain decided to transfer Yousafzai to the Armed Forces Cardiology Institute in Rawalpindi. Mumtaz Khan, a doctor, says that he has a 70% chance of survival. Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that Yousafzai would be transferred to Germany, where he could receive the best medical care, as soon as he is stable enough to travel. A team of doctors will travel with him, and the government will bear the cost of his treatment. The doctor reduced Yousafzai's sedation on October 13, and he transferred the four limbs.

His plane landed in Birmingham, England where he was treated at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, one of the specialties of this hospital was the care of military personnel wounded in the conflict. According to media reports at the time, the British Government stated that "[t] he Pakistani government pays all transportation, migration, medical, accommodation and subsistence costs for Malala and his party."
Yousafzai has been out of coma on October 17, 2012, responds well to treatment, and is said to have a good chance of recovering completely without brain damage. Later updates on October 20 and 21 stated that he was stable, but still struggling against infection. On November 8th, she was photographed sitting on the bed.
On January 3, 2013, Yousafzai was discharged from hospital to continue his rehabilitation at home while his family was in the West Midlands. He underwent surgery for five hours on Feb. 2 to reconstruct his skull and restore his hearing with a cochlear implant, after which his condition was reported to be in stable condition.
Reactions
Murder attempts to receive media coverage around the world and generates an outpouring of sympathy and anger. Protests against the shootings were held in several Pakistani cities a day after the attack, and more than 2 million people signed the Rights of Education campaign petition, which resulted in the ratification of the first RUU of Rights to Education in Pakistan. Pakistani officials offered a reward of 10 million rupees (US $ 105,000) for information leading to the arrest of the attackers. Responding to concerns about his safety, Yousafzai's father said, "We will not leave our country if my daughter survives or not We have an ideology that supports peace Taliban can not stop all independent voices through the power of bullets."
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari described the shooting as an attack on "civilized people". UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called it a "cruel and cowardly act". US President Barack Obama found the attack "reprehensible, disgusting and tragic", while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Yousafzai had been "very brave in defending the rights of girls" and that the attackers had been "threatened by that kind. Empowerment. "British Foreign Secretary William Hague called the shooting" barbaric "and it" shocked Pakistan and the world ".
American singer Madonna dedicated her song "Human Nature" to Yousafzai at a concert in Los Angeles on the day of the attack, as well as Malala's tattoo while on his back. American actress Angelina Jolie wrote an article about explaining the show to her children and answering questions such as, "Why do those people think they need to kill Malala?" Jolie then donated $ 200,000 to The Malala Fund for girls' education. Former First Lady of the United States Laura Bush wrote an open article on The Washington Post in which she compared Yousafzai with the author of the Holocaust diary, Anne Frank. Indian director Amjad Khan announced that he would make a biopic based on Yousafzai.
Ehsanullah Ehsan, a Pakistani Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that Yousafzai "is a symbol of infidelity and obscenity", adding that if he survived, the group would target it again. In the days after the attack, the Taliban reaffirmed its justification, saying Yousafzai had been brainwashed by his father: "We warned him several times to stop his daughter from using foul language against us, but he did not listen and forced us to take this extreme step." The Taliban also justified his assault as part of a religious holy book, stating that the Qur'an says that "those who spread Islam and the power of Islam will be killed", goes on to say that "Sharia says that even a child can be killed if he spreads against Islam ".
On October 12, 2012, a group of 50 Islamic scholars in Pakistan issued fatw? - a decision of Islamic law - against Taliban gunmen trying to kill Yousafzai. Islamic scholars from Ittehad Sunni Council openly condemned the Pakistani Taliban efforts to bring religious justification to the shooting of Yousafzai and his two classmates.
Although the attacks have been strongly criticized in Pakistan, "some of Pakistan's fringe political parties and extremist outfits" have been broadcasting conspiracy theories, such as shootings staged by the US Central Intelligence Agency to provide reasons for continuing drone strikes. Pakistani Taliban and some other pro-Taliban elements refer to Yousafzai as an "American spy".
UN petition
On October 15, 2012, the UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown, former British Prime Minister, visited Yousafzai when he was in hospital, and launched a petition in his name and "support what Malala is striving for". Using the slogan "Saya Malala", the main petition request is that no child is out of school by 2015, in the hope that "girls like Malala everywhere are going to school soon". Mr Brown said he would submit a petition to President Zardari in Islamabad in November.
The petition contained three demands:
- We call upon Pakistan to approve an education delivery plan for each child.
- We ask all countries to prohibit discrimination against girls.
- We call on international organizations to ensure 61 million dropout children in the world are in education by the end of 2015.
Criminal investigations, arrests and exemptions
A day after the shooting, Interior Minister Rehman Malik declared that Taliban gunmen who shot Yousafzai had been identified. Police named Atta Ullah Khan, 23, a chemistry graduate student, as a gunner in the attack. By 2015 he remains free, probably in Afghanistan.
Police also arrested six men for being involved in the attack, but they were later released for lack of evidence. In November 2012, US sources confirmed that Mullah Fazlullah, the cleric who ordered the attack on Yousafzai, was hiding in Eastern Afghanistan.
On September 12, 2014, ISPR Director Major General Asim Bajwa told the media in Islamabad that 10 attackers came from a militant group called "Shura". General Bajwa said that Israrur Rehman was a member of the first militant group identified and captured by troops. Acting upon information received during his interrogation, all members of other militant groups were arrested. This is a joint intelligence-based operation conducted by the ISI, the police, and the military.
In April 2015, ten arrested men were sentenced to life in prison by Judge Mohammad Amin Kundi, a counterterrorism judge, with possible eligibility for parole, and possible release, after 25 years. It is not known whether the would-be assassins will be among the ten men sentenced. In June 2015, it was revealed that eight of the ten people who tried to be cameras for the attack had actually been secretly released, an insider revealed that one of the liberated and liberated men was the mastermind of the murder. It is believed that everyone else who shot Yousafzai fled to Afghanistan afterwards and was never even arrested. Information about the release of the suspect was revealed after the London Daily Mirror sought to find people in prison. Senior police official Salim Khan stated that the eight were released because there was not enough evidence to link them to the attack.
Advanced activism
Yousafzai spoke before the United Nations in July 2013, and met with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. In September, he spoke at Harvard University, and in October, he met with US President Barack Obama and his family; during the meeting, he confronted him about the use of drone attacks in Pakistan.

He urged world leaders, especially in Myanmar, to "stop the inhuman persecution of the Muslim minority Rohingya Burmese." In September 2017, speaking in Oxford, Yousafzai said that "This should be a matter of human rights, the government must react to it, people are displaced, they face violence." Yousafzai also posted a statement on Twitter calling for Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to condemn the treatment of Rohingyas in Myanmar. Suu Kyi has avoided taking sides in the conflict, or condemning violence against Rohingyas, which has led to widespread criticism.
In 2014, Yousafzai stated that he wanted to return to Pakistan after his education in England, and inspired by Benazir Bhutto, he would consider running for prime minister: "If I can help my country by joining the government or becoming prime minister, I will definitely be ready for this task ". He repeated this goal in 2015 and 2016. However, Yousafzai noted in 2018 that his goal has changed, stating that "now I have met so many presidents and prime ministers around the world, it seems like things are not simple and there are other ways so I can bring the changes I want to see ". In an interview with David Letterman, for Netflix's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction , Yousafzai was asked "Do you ever want to hold a political position?" and replied "Me? No."

It was his first public address since the attack, leading the first Young Takeover of the UN, with an audience of over 500 young educational supporters from around the world.
The terrorists thought they would change my goals and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and despair die. Strength, strength, and courage are born... I am not against anyone, nor am I here to speak in the form of personal retaliation against the Taliban or other terrorist groups. I am here to talk about the right to education for every child. I want education for the son and daughter of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists.
Yousafzai received some applause. Ban Ki-moon, who also spoke at the session, described it as "our hero". Yousafzai also presented the room with "The Education We Want", a Youth Resolution educational demands written by Youth for Youth, in a process co-ordinated by the UN Global Youth First Advocacy Group, told its listeners:

He was the second Pakistani to receive the Nobel Prize after the recipient of the 1979 Physics Award, Abdus Salam.

A Norwegian legal expert, Fredrik Heffermehl, commented on being awarded the Nobel Prize: "This is not for good people who have done good things and are happy to receive it All irrelevant What the Nobel wants is a gift that promotes global disarmament."
AdÃÆ'¡n CortÃÆ'Â © s, a student from Mexico City and asylum seeker, interrupted the Yousafzai Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in protest at the massacre of Iguala in 2014 in Mexico, but was quickly taken by security guards.

David Letterman interview
In March 2018, Yousafzai became the subject of an interview with David Letterman for his Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction . Speaking of the Taliban, he argues that their misogyny comes from the complex of superiority, and is reinforced by finding "reason" in culture or literature, as with misinterpreting the teachings of Islam. Regarding the topic of his attacker, Yousafzai commented that "I forgive them for it is the best revenge I can have". Showing that the person who attacked him was a boy, he said that "He thinks he is doing the right thing".
Asked about Donald Trump's presidency, Yousafzai criticized that "Some things have really disappointed me, such as sexual harassment and the ban on Muslims and racism." He also criticized the budget cuts that the Trump government proposed for education, saying that education is the first step to "combat extremism and end poverty".

Yousafzai's acceptance in Pakistan is largely negative. Yousafzai's opposition to Taliban policy has made him unpopular among Taliban sympathizers. A columnist
In 2015, the All Pakistan Private School Federation (APPSF) banned I Am Malala in all private Pakistani schools, and president Mirza Kashif Ali released a book I Am Not Malala . The book accuses Yousafzai of attacking Pakistani soldiers under the pretext of women's education, describing his father as a "double agent" and "traitor" and denouncing the promotion of secular education by the Malala Fund. However, Ali claims that "we are not against it but the ideology imposed on us" and shows that APPSF went on a national strike when Yousafzai was attacked.
The conspiracy theories in newspapers and social media allege that Yousafzai committed his assassination attempt, or that he was an agent of the American Central Intelligence Agency. Many Pakistanis see him as a "Western agent", because of his Nobel Prize, Oxford education and residence in England. Another conspiracy theory alleges that Yousafzai was a Jewish agent. However, Yousafzai has support in Pakistani media; Farman Nawaz argues that Yousafzai will gain more fame in Pakistan if he comes from the Punjab province. His opinion was not given importance by the mainstream media of Pakistan but his views in this matter were published by Outlook Outlook Afghanistan . Yousafzai is seen as brave by some Pakistanis.
On March 29, 2018, Yousafzai returned to Pakistan for the first time since the shooting. Met with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, he gave a speech in which he said it was his dream to return "without fear". Yousafzai then visited his hometown in the Swat Valley. APPSF, a group representing 173,000 private schools in Pakistan, organized "I am not Malala Day" on March 30th. Yousafzai responded by saying "I am proud of my religion, and I am proud of my country."
