Malala Yousafzai - Little People Big Dreams

Malala's father was a teacher and made sure that his daughter could go to school, just like her brother. When Malala was ten years old, the Taliban took power in her home region. They destroyed all girls' schools. The eleven-year-old denounces the Taliban on Pakistani television. It is a crime to prevent girls from going to school. She is then shot and seriously wounded. At the age of 17 she received the Nobel Peace Prize. In her speech she said: "I stand here for 66 million girls around the world who are denied an education."
