Malala Yousafzai awarded 2013 International Children's Peace Prize
Teenage activist MalalaYousafzai, shot in the head by a Taliban
militant last October after campaigning for girls' right to education, has won
the prestigious International Children's Peace Prize, KidsRights announced on
Tuesday. Malala "risked her life in the fight for access to education for
girls all over the world", KidsRights
said in a statement.
The passionate advocate for girls' education was
shot in the head by a Taliban gunman while on a school bus near her home in Pakistan's Swat valley last year. She was given life-saving
treatment in Britain where she now lives, but the attack galvanized her
campaign for greater educational opportunities for girls.
