The girl shot for wanting education in Afghanistan was Malala Yousafzai.
Malala was a young Pakistani activist who became known for her advocacy for female education in the Swat Valley, a region in northwestern Pakistan that was under Taliban control. She was targeted in 2012 by the Taliban for her outspokenness, and was shot in the head while riding a school bus. She survived the attack and went on to become a global symbol of peace and the right to education for all children.
Malala’s story has resonated around the world, inspiring many to support her cause. She has received numerous awards and honors for her work, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. Malala continues to advocate for education and human rights, and she remains a powerful voice for girls and women around the world.
