At the age of 15, Malala was famous only in her home region of Swat Valley in Pakistan, where she was an outspoken advocate of education for girls. This all changed when she was attacked by Taliban gunmen, who shot the teenager in the head. Miraculously she survived, and her story reverberated around the world in shock, outrage, and awed wonder at her bravery. Since the attack, Malala has emerged as one of the leading campaigners for the rights of children worldwide, all the while supported by her family, including her father who was always insistent on his daughter’s right to an education.
