Act MALALA!

On the fourth day of our visit, spanish students presented  a little play called : Malala. Malala is  a Pakistani education advocate who, at the age of 17 in 2014, became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize after surviving an assassination attempt by the Taliban

Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, located in the country's Swat Valley. Yousafzai attended a school that her father, educator Ziauddin Yousafzai, had founded. In early 2009, when she was just 11 years old, Yousafzai began blogging for the BBC about living under the Taliban's threats to deny her an education. Her activism resulted in a nomination for the International Children's Peace Prize in 2011.

On October 9, 2012, when 15-year-old Yousafzai was riding a bus with friends on their way home from school, a masked gunman boarded the bus and demanded to know which girl was Yousafzai. When her friends looked toward Yousafzai, her location was given away. The gunman fired at her, hitting Malala in the left side of her head; the bullet then traveled down her neck. Two other girls were also injured in the attack.ine months after being shot by the Taliban, Yousafza gave  a speech at the United Nations on her 16th birthday in 2013. Yousafzai highlighted her focus on education and women's rights, urging world leaders to change their policies.

At Yousafzai’s 2013 speech at the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pronounced July 12th – Yousafzai's birthday – 'Malala Day' in honor of the young leader’s activism to ensure education for all children.

Yousafzai was first nominated for the Nobel in 2013 but did not win. She was renominated in March 2014.
