Malala Yousafzai is a widely respected Pakistani rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner who has fought to promote education for girls - a struggle that resulted in the Taliban attempting to take her life in 2012.
Raised in the town of Mingora, in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, Yousafzai came to prominence as a teenager in 2009, when the valley was under the control of the local chapter of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The TTP-Swat, under then-chief Mullah Fazlullah, enforced a strict interpretation of Islam in the valley, ruling with an iron fist. One of its many edicts enforced a complete ban on women’s education.
Between 2007 and 2011, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Swat, led by Maulana Fazlullah, destroyed more than 400 schools in the valley, many of them providing education for girls.
In January 2009, Yousafzai began to keep a diary for the BBC’s Urdu service, in which she detailed how she had been affected by the Taliban’s rule, and what life was like for her and her peers under them. She wrote then under the pen name "Gul Makai", the name of the heroine from a local Pashtun folk tale.
