Malala Yousafzai

October 10, 2012 § 4 Comments

Malala Yousafzai started her blog about being a girl trying to get an education in the Swat Valley when she was 11 years old. On Tuesday (yesterday) at the age of 14 she was shot in the head by the Taliban because she ‘promoted secularism’.

She is currently in hospital, alive and recovering after surgery. This girl is the bravest girl I know because she stood up for education for girls. And do you know what makes this story even more disgusting? That she has to do this at all in 2012.
