According to a press release issued by the exhibition centre, the uniform was made part of Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition 2014 on Malala’s wish.
“My school uniform is very important to me because when I was going to school I would wear it. The day I was attacked, I was wearing this uniform. I was fighting for my right to go to school, I was fighting for my right to get education. Wearing a uniform made me feel that yes, I am a student, I am doing it, practically. It is an important part of my life, now I want to show it to children, to people all around the world. This is my right, it is the right of every child, to go to school. This should not be neglected,” the Nobel laureate said in an interview for the exhibition.
Executive Director of the Nobel Peace Center Bente Erichsen said Malala’s blood-stained uniform was a strong and heartbreaking symbol of the forces many girls are fighting for the right to go to school. “The uniform has been kept by the family since the attempted murder in October 2012, and we are grateful that Malala has chosen to show it to the public in our exhibition,” the director said.
Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition is an annual production that spans a mere eight weeks, from the announcement in October to the Nobel Days in December. This is the tenth consecutive Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition, filling the entire first level of the museum in Oslo, Norway.
Kailash Satyarthi and Malala were awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.
The two Nobel Peace Prize laureates will inaugurate the exhibition on December 11. It will open to the public the next day at noon.

@Dr Shabbir Ahmad: Kyon Dr. sahib?Feels like she listened to you,and donated her prizew money for building schools in Swat.Off course,you have meant to demean her,and was pretty sure she wasn't going to do it.Now let your highness let us know what are you contributing to the fund.If doctors like you exist in Pakistan,God save Pakistan!
@Dr Shabbir Ahmad: Off course ,if Malala doesn't,Dr. Ahmad will.Jealousy and hate wont leave even highly educated in Pakistan.Speak for yourself Doctor.Let others decide their liking for them.I am sure the good Doctor is one of those who have been saying it was all a farce,and she never got shot.
My comment is for the Editor. Please pass on this message to malala that if she puts in auction the uniform of her accompanying girl who was also shot in this incident, she can get almost equal money. And then she can earn very large local and international appreciation by donating those money for rebuild of schools in Swat. This I think, and may many others like this idea. So please.......
and the money keeps on pouring in her account.... :P
Does she even live in Pak now . When she gets time from globe trotting , I think she stays in England .When was the last time she did something constructive ?
am sure Malala detractors will manufacture something in the clothes to propage their theoy that she wasn't shot,and thqt it is all western conspiracy.So nice to give them a heart-burn(may be they have heart,however stony)
See now, how this 'business' of nobel prizes and winners go on.

Many I and My...
Wrong!
This is in very bad taste. Going to school should be an enjoyable experience and it should be promoted that way. Not by building up creating fear in the minds by display of blood-stained school uniform.
