Pakistani girl who was shot at point blank range by terrorists meets President Barack Obama.

Malala Yousafzai, the 16 year old girl who sparked international praise for women's rights in her country is one of the world's most influential figures. The remnants of Taliban has taken over tribal regions in Northwest Pakistan. They've put a hit on her because she stood up to them. She wanted to learn and excel in society.

Islamic conservatives aren't hip to that one. So they decided that a bullet is the only way to shut her up!

They would ambush a school bus. They would shot her at point blank range in the head. They would shot two of her friends before fleeing. The young girl was injured around her left side. The injury partially grazed her skull and bounced off her head. While barely breathing, the young girl fought through surgery to make a full recovery.

British doctors and millions of supporters contributed to her recovery. And now as a victim of gun violence, she been a leading advocate for women's rights and gun control.

Malala Yousafzai (Pashto: ملاله یوسفزۍ‎ [mə ˈlaː lə . ju səf ˈzəj]; Urdu: ملالہ یوسف زئی‎ Malālah Yūsafzay, born 12 July 1997) is a Pakistani school pupil and education activist from the town of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

She is known for her activism for rights to education and for women, especially in the Swat Valley, where the Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. In early 2009, at the age of 11–12, Yousafzai wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban rule, their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for girls.

The following summer, a New York Times documentary was filmed about her life as the Pakistani military intervened in the region, culminating in the Second Battle of Swat. Yousafzai rose in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television, and she was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize by South African activist Desmond Tutu.

Many observers believed that she would be a participant for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The prize went to The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

That didn't disappoint the viberent young girl.

Yousafzai spoke at the UN to call for worldwide access to education, and in September 2013 she officially opened the Library of Birmingham. Yousafzai is the recipient of the Sakharov Prize for 2013.

She kind of endorsed Hillary Clinton, if she should run for president in 2016.
