The Taliban’s attempt to silence Malala Yousafzai a year ago today only ended up encouraging millions of other girls to speak up for their rights, the young Pakistani activist says. “They wanted to silence one Malala, but instead now thousands and millions of Malalas are speaking,” the 16-year-old told Anna Maria Tremonti, the host of CBC Radio's The Current, in a Canadian exclusive interview airing today. Malala, who was already an outspoken advocate for girls’ education, was critically injured on Oct. 9, 2012, when a gunman shot her while she was riding home on a school bus in the city of Mingora.
