| Malala and Kailash Satyarthi |
Advocate for women education, Malala Yousafzai has been
jointly awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. The 17 year old Pakistani who
was in Nigeria earlier in the year to visit President Jonathan in Abuja, was
almost killed by insurgents in her native country in 2012 while she was
travelling home from school.
This year’s award was presented to both Malala and Kailash
Satyarthi, an Indian Children’s Rights activist. Both were named winners of £690,000 by the Chairman of Nobel Committee, Thorbjoern
Jagland, the former Prime Minister of Norway.
