About our Shero: Malala Yousafzai is an activist, education advocate, scholar, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. At the age of 10 she began speaking out against the Taliban, after the group began to control the Swat Valley and banned girls from attending school. For years she advocated for education and was even shot by the Taliban, when she was 15, due to her relentless activism. She miraculously survived, preserved, told her story, and created the Malala Foundation to empower girls to achieve their potential, and become confident leaders in their own countries.
