Malala attacked in 2012:

On October 9, 2012, Malala along with her friends were travelling home from school and a masked gunman entered the bus, asked her name and shot her right in the head. Two of her friends were also injured in the attack. She survived but remained in a critical condition. Then she was moved to Birmingham in the United Kingdom for treatment and was discharged in January 2013. After this, over 2 million people signed a right to education petition, and the National Assembly swiftly ratified Pakistan’s first Right To Free and Compulsory Education Bill.
