*Winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize*
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, one girl fought for her right
to an education. On Tuesday, 9 October 2012, she almost paid the ultimate price
when she was shot in the head at point-blank range.
Malala Yousafzai's extraordinary journey has taken her from a remote valley in
northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations. She has become a global
symbol of peaceful protest and is the youngest ever winner of the Nobel Peace
