New hope in wounded Pakistani teen activist's struggle to
survive.
Militants deliberately shot a
14-year-old girl who had won its nation’s peace prize a year earlier, in an
attempt to take her life on a bus carrying students from school to their homes
in Pakistan. The girl is a famous blogger who has been encouraging young people
to take a stand against the Taliban, that demand veils for women, beards for
men and a ban on music and television. They allowed boys' schools to operate
but closed those for girls.
Instead of their attempt to shut
this brave girl’s mouth, their would-be-assassination sparked not only national
but also international attention and debate to stand up against the crucial
militants.
