“I also tried puff puff. It was amazing. Just before my speech at the UN. I was so hungry and I had like five minutes. And then like I thief one puff puff and that was amazing. It was the best thing I took before the speech.”
Yousafzai, 26, was shot in the head by Taliban militants enforcing a ban on girl-child education in 2012.
She is the world’s youngest Nobel Prize laureate, the second Pakistani and the first Pashtun to receive a Nobel Prize. Yousafzai is a human rights advocate for the education of women and children in her native homeland, Swat, where the Pakistani Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Her advocacy has grown into an international movement, and according to former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, she has become Pakistan’s “most prominent citizen.”
