Malala Yousafzai, geboren 1997, wurde von klein auf von ihrem Vater Ziauddin gefördert und dazu ermutigt, sich für die Rechte von Mädchen einzusetzen. Ziauddin Yousafzai leitete selbst eine Schule im pakistanischen Swat-Tal und missachtete damit das Verbot der Taliban. Malala lebt heute mit ihrer Familie in England, wo sie sich von ihren schweren Verletzungen erholt. Seit März 2013 geht sie in Birmingham wieder zur Schule. 2013 wurde sie für ihren "furchtlosen Einsatz gegen Intoleranz und Unterdrückung" mit dem "Sacharow-Preis für Menschenrechte" des Europäischen Parlaments ausgezeichnet, 2014 erhielt sie zusammen mit Kailash Satyarthi den Friedensnobelpreis.
