Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize this year with Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi, said the United Nations’ goals from next year should focus on education.

“We must be determined that our dream of quality education for all will also come true,” Yousafzai said today in the text of a speech delivered in Norway as she accepted the prize. Leaders gathering in 2015 to decide on the next set of sustainable development goals “must seize this opportunity to guarantee a free, quality primary and secondary education for every child.”

Yousafzai, 17, was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012 in retaliation for her campaign for girls to be given equal rights to schooling, defying threats from militants in her hometown of Mingora. She became the first teenager to win the prize, announced in Oslo in October.

Malala Yousafzai (born 12 July 1997)is a Pakistani female education activist, who became the youngest ever Nobel Prize recipient in any category. She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native Swat Valley in northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Yousafzai’s advocacy has since grown into an international movement.

On the afternoon of 9 October 2012, Yousafzai boarded her school bus in the northwest Pakistani district of Swat. A gunman asked for her by name, then pointed a pistol at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of Yousafzai’s forehead, traveled under her skin through the length of her face, and then went into her shoulder. In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition, but later her condition improved enough for her to be sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England, for intensive rehabilitation.

On 12 October, a group of 50 Islamic clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwā against those who tried to kill her, but the Taliban reiterated its intent to kill Yousafzai and her father. Some Pakistanis believe the shooting was a CIA setup and many conspiracy theories exist.

The assassination attempt sparked a national and international outpouring of support for Yousafzai. Deutsche Welle wrote in January 2013 that Yousafzai may have become “the most famous teenager in the world.”
