"Pride of Pakistan," according to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Malala is devoted to the day after a dismal birthday. On 9 October 2012, the Pakistani Taliban had intercepted his school bus and he had shot himself in the head, accusing him of undermining Islam.
The girl, who has campaigned for the age of 11 years, refused to be intimidated and continued to fight for education and tolerance.
"Let us lead the fight against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism, our books and pencils are our best weapons," she said of her firm voice last year in a highly applauded the speech UN.

"With courage and determination, Malala reveals what terrorists fear most: a girl holding a book," said the secretary general of the UN, Ban Ki-moon. "The real winners of the day, it is the children of the world."
The choice of the Nobel committee is especially significant in light of the April 14 kidnapping in Nigeria of 276 high school students by the Islamist movement Boko Haram (meaning "Western education is a sin"). The incident shocked the world and sparked the vast mobilization movement "Bring back our girls" ("Bring our daughters").
Kailash Satyarthi, who will share the 8 million Swedish kronor (about 873,000 euros) Nobel with Malala, participated in the creation of several defensive moves from childhood and schooling.
Bachpan Bachao Andolan organization ("Movement to Save the Children") claims to have released nearly 80,000 child workers. But according to estimates cited by the Nobel committee, the planet still has some 168 million of them.
French President Francois Hollande praised the "outstanding commitment" of the two winners and German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke of "a good day for the world's children."
