Young Education Activist - Mera Passion Pakistan

They say ‘children should be seen and not heard’, but 13-year-old Malala Yousufzai did not hold her peace when the crisis in Swat prevented her from receiving an education. Writing a diary to BBC Urdu with the pen name ‘Gul Makai’, Malala related her experience living during the siege in Swat. Unlike Anne Frank who wrote about her life during the holocaust, Malala, a famed children’s rights activist, lived to see the fruit of her struggle.The purpose of her diary entries was to mark a clear divide between the peaceful people of Swat and the miscreants who unjustly oppressed and defamed them.For defending her motherland’s reputation and fighting for children’s rights and education, Malala was awarded the National Peace Prize by the state of Pakistan.
