Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora. In 2007, when Malala was 10 years old, the Taliban began to control the Swat Valley and girls were banned from attending school and cultural activities. Determined to go to school, Malala started to blog anonymously, she wrote about her life under the Taliban rule. After three years, she and her father became known for their determination to give Pakistan girls access to a free quality education. But on the morning of October 9, 2012, she was shot by the Taliban and she was seriously wounded. After the shooting, her incredible recovery resulted in a global outpouring of support for Malala. Today there is ''Malala Fund'', an organization that through education empowers girls to achieve their potential and become confident and strong leaders.
