Malala Yousafzai was born in Mingora, a city in the Swat Valley in the northwestern Pakistan. She went to Khushal Public School which was ran by her father Ziauddin. When Malala was ten years old a religious group of people who believe in Strict Scripture in a religion known as the Taliban. The Taliban started to take over some parts of pakistan and they stopped the people watching television and music and women could not leave their houses simply means that those things were outlawed. In 2008 the Taliban banned girls from going to school in Swat Valley and Banned teachers from teaching girls. But Malala’s father Ziauddin and many other school principal refused. Then the Taliban started to blow up girls school. When Malala was eleven the British Broadcasting corporation (BBC) journalists contacted Malala’s father and asked him if he knew any schoolgirl who would be able to write about life under the Taliban. Malala’s father suggested Malala. Malala started her own online diary for the BBC in January 2009 to avoid getting targeted Malala used a fake name for the blog. Malala’s parents were very proud of her bravery and confidence but they were also worried. Malala’s father was a very well known campaigner for human rights and female education. And sure enough he did receive death threats. Later that year the Pakistan army had driven the Triban out of mingora. Malala was interviewed on television she spoke openly about the thing and deficaties the girls still faced when they went to school because of the Taliban group outside the city. Malala countied to appear on television even after her BBc blog got public on December 2009. On 2011 Malala receive the international children peace prize and she even won the Pakistan’s Youth Peace prize. Sure enough she was also receiving death threats too. On 9 October 2012 and Taliban gunman shot Malala in the forehead two other girls were wonned in the attack. Malala survived but was in coma for nearly a fortnight she received hours of surgery during this period she even got flawn to the UK for Specialist treatment. People all around the world now follows malala's story. When Malala turned 11 she demanded the headquarters of the New York city USA that children have all rights. She founded the Malala Fund to raise money and help the girls who missed out on education. On 2014 she became the youngest person to receive the nobel prize.

Today i wrote a story based on Malala she is one of my favourite people from the book of brave women. I really enjoyed writing about her i also found out some extra details. Writing about Malala was really interesting.
