A generally spreading household name most especially for those who live in the western world. Malala Yousafzai born July 12th 1997 a Pakistani activist for female education and also the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native swat Valley in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school.
Malala Yousafzai’s advocacy has since grown into an international movement. Today her life story has been made into a film for the benefit of those who don’t know her and what she has done in the pursuit of world peace.
On the afternoon of 9 October 2012 on her way back from school, an unidentified gunman shot at her three times. He was later found to be a member of the Taliban group which dominated their region in the Northwest of Pakistan. In 2014 she came on a 3 day trip to Nigeria to plead with the notorious terrorist group ” Boko Haram” in a bid to move the support for the release of the abducted Chibok school girls.
A honorary doctorate degree was awarded to her from the University Of Kings College, Halifax Nova Scotia. Today she is celebrated all around the world for a girl turned lady who dared to be different even amidst the trials and tribulations.
On the 16th of July by 10am at the Wheatbaker Hotel a documentary will be played to show interested viewers about her commitment to the struggle for world peace.
