Stole from a sister agency.
March is Women’s History Month.
Let’s start with honoring this remarkable woman, Malala Yousafzai
As a young girl of 11, the Pakistani student wrote an anonymous diary about what life was like under the rule of an extreme group called the Taliban in north-west Pakistan.
In the diary, she talked about how she wanted to stay in education and about how girls should be able to go to school. The Taliban wanted to ban girls' education. People world wide read the diary and she became well-known for fighting for her right to an education.
Because of what she wrote in her diary, in October 2012, she was shot by Taliban soldiers - but she survived the attack.
The world was appalled by what happened to her and Malala quickly won the support of millions more people.
At 17, she became the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
She has gone on to write books, graduate from university and continues to campaign for girls' rights all over the world and inspire many generations
