In Barkana in the north-west of Pakistan, where he meets relatives
The Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafzai, visited today from the Taliban attack in 2012 his hometown in the tormented north-west of Pakistan and met his family. The local press reports, specifying that the activist flew by helicopter in Barkana, in the Shangla district, in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where he met his uncle, Ramazan, who recently underwent surgery to Islamabad after suffering from heart problems, and also visited the local cemetery, reported the newspaper The Dawn.
Malala was hit in the face by the Pachistani Taliban when she was a fifteen -year -old student, while she was engaged in her campaign for female education rights. Her activism earned her the Nobel Prize in 2014 and since then she has become a global supporter of the education rights of women and girls. His last visit to Pakistan dates back to January, when he intervened at a summit in Islamabad on the education of girls in Muslim countries and stressed that women who live under the Taliban system live in a sort of “gender apartheid”. Malala has lived in the United Kingdom since October 2012.
