Malala was shot in head by Taliban militants

Malala was evacuated to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham on October 15 after Taliban militants  shot her in the head as she travelled on a school bus in Swat, Pakistan.

Malala first rose to prominence aged just 11 with a blog for the BBC Urdu service in 2009 in which she described life in Swat during the bloody rule of the Taliban. Her calls for improved education for girls attracted the attention of the Taliban, ultimately leading to the attempt on her life.
