TEXT 1

Six months ago, Malala Yousafzai was lying in a hospital bed, recovering from a Taliban attack in which she was shot in the head and neck. The shooting was intended to silence the Pakistani teenager who had defied the Taliban's ban against girls in school. But it had the opposite effect: Instead of silencing the 15-year-old, the attack only made her voice more powerful.

Malala's story has raised global awareness of girls' education. And now that she's out of the hospital and back in school, she is determined to keep fighting for equality. 

"God has given me this new life," she said in February, her first public statement since the shooting. "I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated."

Worldwide, there are 66 million girls out of school, according to UNESCO – many more than boys, who don't have to face the same discrimination and obstacles that girls do in some countries.

Malala was critically injured in the attack, but she suffered no permanent brain injuries. She underwent several successful surgeries in Pakistan and the United Kingdom, where she now lives after her father was given a job with the Pakistani Consulate.

In March, she went back to school for the first time since the attack, attending an all-girls high school in Birmingham, England. And while she recovers from her injuries, she is continuing to raise awareness and money for education. Last month, she announced a $45,000 grant to a fund that was set up in her name – and the first to benefit will be girls from the Swat Valley.
