The valiant activist came to prominence when a Taliban gunman shot her in the head in 2012 as punishment for campaigning for girls to go to school, which defied the militant group’s ban on female education.
Malala has since continued campaigning on the world stage and in 2014 became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner.
