Malala, Sharmeen to receive first-ever Asia Game Changer award
According to details, Malala, the teenage child education activist who was shot in the head by the Taliban, has been selected for the award, “for continuing to dream, and fight for girls the world over, after living a nightmare.”
Chinoy, Pakistan's sole Oscar winner, has been selected to receive the award for her “for eye-opening films that give voice to the voiceless.”

Malala had a bullet in her head. Anyone who think she was launched or fake should try iron bullet and then speak against her. Shame on those who undermine a true legend.
I have nothing against a child but I think Malala's is a case of too much too soon . Sharmeen seems to be a genuine case .
I pity on your thinking and theory.
It is said that Malala will be launched (by....) for a Pakistan PM candidate after a decade or so. So she needs to be in media in the meantime so people dont forget her. I do pity the little girl the way she is being used.
I believe that Malala has become a name to be marketed, despite it becoming Stale News.
Her marketing company should recognize the limits to which they can propagate this young woman, who while having gone through a horrific incident in her life, is being used to No end.
I wish Malala the best.
