EB Presents: The Story of Malala Yousafzai

The video tells the story of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist for female education. Born in 1997, Malala was influenced by her father, an activist and educator. In 2007, the Taliban invaded her hometown, banning girls from school. At 11, Malala began speaking out, gaining attention through a BBC blog under the pseudonym Gul Makai. Despite Taliban threats, she continued her activism, leading to international recognition. In 2012, she survived a Taliban assassination attempt, which sparked global protests and led to Pakistan's first right to education bill. Malala won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 and continues to advocate for girls' education worldwide.
