Malala Yousafzai was a victim of a Taliban attack. She is a fifteen year old girl from Pakistan and an education activist. She is known for fighting for women's rights, especially for education. Malala became well known across the globe after an incident with the Taliban. After coming across the news and rumors of Malala's blog, where she talked about her life and limited education for girls under Taliban rule, they approached and tried to assassinate her. When she described the incident, she said that the Taliban came on her school bus asking for her, then shot her in the head and a couple of other girls. Luckily, she survived and is currently living in Britain, along with her parents and two brothers. The Pakistani government provided her and her family a home and car in the United Kingdom.
