After being flown to the UK for treatment, she made a miraculous recovery from the attack, and has since continued her fight for the right of everyone to receive an education. Her bravery and dedication to her cause has seen her honored throughout the world, including as the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.

    Following the outpouring of support that Malala received throughout her ordeal, she set up an international fund – the Malala Fund – which is dedicated to help promote education for girls throughout the world. In addition to the Nobel Peace Prize, Malala was also named one of ‘The 100 Most Influential People in the World’ in 2013 by TIME magazine and honored with Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience award. She is the winner of Pakistan’s first National Youth Peace Prize, the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought and Conscience, the International Children’s Peace Prize, and the Simone de Beauvoir Prize.
