Malala Yousafzai (Urdu: ملالہ یوسفزئی‬‎; Pashto: ملاله یوسفزۍ‎; born 12 July 1997) is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. She is known for human rights advocacy, especially the education of women and children in her native Swat Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Her advocacy has grown into an international movement. In 2014, she was the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malala_Yousafzai
