Malala was born in Mingora, in the Swat district of the
northwestern border province, a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban. His father
is Ziauddin Youssef, an education, youth and women's rights activist, school
owner and poet. Malala's father named Malala Yousafzai because of her love for
the Pashtun poet and warrior. He runs a series of schools called Khushal Public
School. He was also the one who turned her into an education rights activist.
It was in September 2008 that Malala began speaking publicly about the right to
education. Her father took her to a press club in Peshawar to speak out against
the Taliban for denying girls the right to education.
Yesterday I had a dream. Such dreams have been common since
the Taliban militants and military helicopters began their military operation
in Swat. I'm afraid to go to school. The Taliban have banned girls from going
to school ... Only 11 of the 27 children in the class have arrived ... because
of the Taliban's fear.
On the way home from school, I was horrified to hear a man
shout, 'I will kill you.' I quickly gathered for the walk. When he looked back,
he was talking on his mobile. Of course he was threatening someone ....
