Malala Yousafzai's story
It was in 2009,aged 12, that Malala the daughter of a school owner and champion of girl's education first began blogging for BBC Urdu about life under Taliban rule in the Swat Valley in Pakistan, where they had banned girls from attending school.
With her father's encouragement, Malala resisted the Taliban mandate.At that time using a pseudonym,she wrote about being afraid to attend school and turning up in pink dress rather than a uniform,so as not to draw attention.
Later her identity became known and she began making television and documentary appearances. Aware of the risk she was taking,but defiant,she said on a Pakistani talk show, "Even if they come to kill me,I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong, that education is our basic right.....If a Talib is coming, I will pull off my sandal and slap him on the face".
On October 12 last year, Malala was travelling home from school exam on a bus. A Taiban gunman boarded the bus and asked,"Which one of you is Malala?" before shooting her in the head because the Taliban said "she would not stop" The bullet went through her head then neck and ended in her shoulder.
After being airlifted to Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham for treatment, she made a remarkable recovery and was quickly walking and talking again.
10Million Rupees(£100,000) has being offered as reward by Pakistani officials for information about Malala's attackers.
Tomorrow, Malala day, is her 16th birthday and still she has not stopped.
Committed Malala supporters include Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Sarah Brown and Jude Kelly.
Mothers and teachers around the world are telling their children and students about Malala.
