MALALA - by Letters From Delight ⁠♡♡

In case you've been living under the unknown, and you don't know who she is.Here is the story of Malala Yousaufzai. Malala was born in a small town called Mingora and grew up in Northern Pakistan in a town called Swat. In 2009 the Taliban (a militant Islamic group) took over and band girl's education. At just 11 years old, Malala began writing anonymously as Gul Makai for the BBC , detailing her life under Taliban rule and her fight for girls education. Malala grew up in a home that valued learning. Her father, despite living in a culture that often favored boys, treated her equally and encouraged her education. She attended the school her father ran - the Khushal Public School.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-233055.jpg"/>Malala believed she had the right to education, and freedom of speech as a girl. And just like that in 2009, nearly 400 schools (mostly girls) were destroyed by the Talibians.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-234331.jpg"/> Malala began to question everything — why should being a girl mean silence? Surprisingly this made Malala a target, and in 2012, she was just 15 years old when the Taliban attacked her school bus and Malala was shot on her way back from school.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-235050.jpg"/>The attempt on Malala's life made head news around the world, and the world rallied behind her chanting " WE WANT JUSTICE". "They only shot my body, but they cannot kill my dream" those were some of the words of Malala. Miraculously she survived. And in 2013, just one year after the attempt on her life, she founded the Malala Fund, a global movement dedicated to empowering girls education around the world, to 12 years of free , safe, quality education.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-225932.jpg"/> In 2014, Malala became the youngest noble peace prize Laurette at 17.Instead of letting fear stop her, Malala even became louder. One of her words goes thus " this is where I will begin, but it is not where I will stop. I will continue this fight, until I see every child in school ".<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-230116.jpg"/> In 2015 she Co-founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit that works in countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Syria, and Afghanistan to help girls access 12 years of quality education.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-233505.jpg"/>In 2020 she Graduated from Oxford University, studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). In 2021 she got Married to Asser Malik, a Pakistani cricket official. From a young girl in Pakistan, Malala continues to champion quality education, and a world where every girl has a right to education. <img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-233136.jpg"/><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-233201.jpg"/><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20251018-233243.jpg"/>Now Malala continues to speak around the world.
