ShortHand: Malala

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

Before her 13th birthday, Malala Yousafzai had already become a national symbol of hope against the Taliban in Pakistan. And even when shot for her dissent, she refused to be silenced – facing down terror and tyranny for what she believed in. 

Malala’s bravery, resilience and defiance transformed a tragedy into triumph, and made her a global icon in the process.
