Born in Pakistan's Swat District in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, she was shot by Pakistani Taliban terrorists in 2012 for speaking in favour of the girls'right to learning. She was only 11-years-old then.
Yousafzai was taken to a hospital in Birmingham, where she recovered from the critical head injury and later continued her activism for education for the girl child.
She set up Malala Fund, a charity dedicated to giving every girl an opportunity to achieve her full potential through leaning and education.
