Malala To Kill A Mockingbird

“There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin colour, or religion,” a quote from Malala Yousafzai, the youngest person, woman, to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Although, her achievements weren’t constructed overnight, or without hardships or complications. Malala’s journey incipiently began when she anonymously wrote a journal about her experiences living under Taliban control, that was circulated by various media outlets. Another essential point, when she was shot in the forehead by Taliban gunmen, further insinuating her experiences while subservient to terroristic control.
