Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate in history. She won the prize in 2014 for her "struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education." She has been an active supporter of education for women in her native region in northwest Pakistan. In 2012, a Taliban militant shot her for campaigning for human rights, severely wounding her in the head. Having survived the attack, Yousafzai continues to fight for human rights.
A few years ago, Malala was shot for fighting for women's right to education. Today she got accepted into Oxford University. So much respect
