Malala Yousafzai is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, after winning the award this year. The 17-year-old Pakistani fought for years for the right of girls to education in her strictly Muslim home region, and leapt to global fame after the Taliban tried to gun her down in October 2012.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee gave the award to Malala and Indian activist Kailash Satyarthi for their struggle against the repression of children and young people and "for the right of all children to education".
