Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai, a 15 year old Pakistani girl  who was shot in the head and neck on October 9th by Taliban gunmen, has left a British hospital to begin the long road of recuperation and recovery with her family.
She has been a very outspoken leader for girl's and women's rights around the world (and especially in Pakistan) who are struggling for educational and social rights under repressive regimes.  Malala has been an inspiration to millions around the world...
"Our lives begin to end the day
we become silent about things that matter."
                                                                      -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
