malala became known internationally for speaking out about girls education. this made her a target. on october 9, 2012, when malala was 15 years old, a taliban gunman boarded her school bus and shot her in the head. she nearly died but survived after emergency surgery in pakistan and extensive treatment in england.
after recovering, malala continued her activism. she addressed the united nations on her 16th birthday in 2013:
\they thought that the bullets would silence us, but they failed. the terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. strength, power and courage were born... let us pick up our books and our pens. they are our most powerful weapons. one child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.\
