Yousafzai recently commenced her studies at the prestigious Oxford University - five years from the day that she was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for girls’ education.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate tweeted last week, saying, “5 years ago, I was shot in an attempt to stop me from speaking out for girls’ education. Today, I attend my first lectures at Oxford.”

While some went as low as calling her a foreign conspiracy once again, merely on her dressing, others came out in her support.
What #Malala wore in UK, is pretty common in Pakistan as well. Stop creating a fuss about it. Let others live their life, at least fir once.

If you are going to bash #Malala , might as well stay quiet. Nobody wants to hear your verbal diarrhoea.

What makes us scratch our heads is the fact that a woman is still judged on her wardrobe in this time and age.
