She lived with her always-supporting father, her mother and two brothers. Everything was fine until the Taliban attacked the Swat-valley. They ordered women to wear full veils, go to public places only with men. They burnt TVs, CDs as they said that they were crimes. They burnt most of the girls’ schools as they were against girls’ education.
Malala secretly continued to go to school and wrote a diary with a false name, Gul Makai, about life under Taliban for BBC. She gave interviews, speeches about the right to education for girls. One day, on the way home from school, she was shot in the head by two Taliban men. No one expected her to survive, but she did.
