He Named Me Malala

This is a portrait of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, who was targeted by the Taliban at the age of 15 with her father for advocating for girls' education. She was severely wounded, and two of her friends were injured, when a masked gunman boarded her school bus in Pakistan's Swat Valley and pulled the trigger. The attack on her sparked an outcry from supporters around the world and after recovering, she has become a global advocate for the education of girls, raising money to support this cause through the Malala Fund.
