She fought against religious authorities in her country to claim her rights and the rights of millions of other young girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the BBC was searching for a young Pakistani girl to blog about the difficulties of living under the Taliban, everyone they asked declined because it was too dangerous. However, Ziauddin Yousufzai, a teacher, wrote a letter to the BBC stating that he had the perfect candidate at home his daughter, Malala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-beginning\">The Beginning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The BBC published her handwritten notes about life in the Swat Valley in 2009. Her notes talked about how she was afraid of not being able to go to school that year because the Taliban banned all girls from going to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though she used a fake name, the Taliban knew it was her. One day, as she and some other girls were coming back from school, gunmen stopped Malala\u2019s car. She was 17 years old at this time. Malala was shot in the head and neck with bullets, and others were injured. She was taken to London as support for her grew around the world. People were blaming the country for letting her down. Her fight for girls\u2019 right to go to school was now a worldwide movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malala&#8217;s campaign continued for two more years following the attack. This time, the news came from London. While attending her Chemistry class, a teacher informed Malala that she had become the youngest person in history to win a Nobel Prize. The Nobel organization announced that they were awarding the prize to Malala, along with Indian child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi, &#8220;for their fight against the oppression of children and young people, and the right of all children to education.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some facts about the Nobel Prize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some interesting and important facts about the Nobel Prize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;Established by Alfred Nobel:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Nobel Prizes were established by the will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish inventor, engineer, and industrialist, best known for inventing dynamite.
