◼ You’ve undoubtedly heard of Malala Yousafzai, the 17-year-old Pakistani girl who spent the last five years advocating for human rights and specifically the rights of women in Pakistan. - uproxx
In 2012, Yousafzai survived an assassination attempt when she was shot three times at point blank range by the Taliban, who didn’t agree with the message she was sending to Muslim women around the world.
