Malala’s life at home:
Malala attended a school that her father had founded, Khushal Girls High School and College in the city of Mingora.
However, in 2007, the Swat valley was invaded by the TTP. Led by Maulana Fazlullah, the TTP began imposing strict Islamic law, destroying or shutting down girls’ schools, banning women from any active role in society, and carrying out suicide bombings.
Malala and her family were forced to flee the region for their safety, but they returned when tensions and violence eased.
