Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai wrote an anonymous diary about life under Taliban (north-west Pakistan). Then she has been shot in the head in October 2012 by a Taliban gunman. That one shocking act catapulted her to international fame.
She was discharged from hospital in January 2013 and her life now is unimaginably different to anything, she have envisaged when she was an anonymous voice chronicling the fears of shool girls under the shade of the Taliban.
A fund set up in her name helps in education around the world. Among other trips, she has travelled to Nigeria, meeting President Goodluck Jonathan to press for action to free the 200 girls held by Boko Haram Islamist Militants Finally, Malala is a perfect example of a Feminist who isn't too extreme, and really fights for women rights for the right reasons with pacifism. On of her sentence "if you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty. You must fight others, but through peace, dialogue and education." That statement was amazing, this precious girl was shot in the head by those with closed minds yet she still encourages peace. That is a good starting.
