Nobel Prize and Role Model
Megan: Malala is our role model.
Saffron: When she was shot it was not the first time that she had been seen in the public eye as she has been advocating for girls’ education since she was 11. In 2009, Malala started blogging about living under Taliban rule for the BBC. She later became a national figure in her country, appearing on television as a spokesperson for girls’ education.
Saatchi: But then, when she was only 15 years old, she was shot by the Taliban. Malala was aboard a bus in 2012, campaigning for education of girls in Pakistan, when the Taliban reportedly hijacked the bus and singled her out, shooting her in the head.
Layla: On 12 July 2013, she spoke at the UN to call for worldwide access to education. The UN dubbed the event "Malala Day" .It was her first public speech since the attack, leading the first ever Youth
Takeover of the UN, with an audience of over 500 young education advocates from around the world.
Megan: Malala said this: ‘The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born ... I am not against anyone, neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I'm here to speak up for the right of education for every child. I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all terrorists and extremists.’
Saatchi: We think that the way she shows fairness and compassion for everyone around her is one of the reasons why we and so many people see her as a role model.
Saffron: At 17 years old, Malala is is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize since it first became an award, in 1901.
Layla: We think that she is a role model for several other reasons as well . Malala stood up for what she believed in. She was raised to believe in education and her father encouraged her to go to school.
After everything that has happened she has held on
