The 16th birthday of Malala Yousufzai, who was shot by the Taliban for advocating girls' right to education, was observed as 'Malala Day' today in Pakistan and across the world as the young activist gears up to address the UN General Assembly.
Seminars, conferences and other ceremonies were held across Pakistan wherein scholars, educationists and analysts participated and pay tribute to Malala who fought for girl's education in Swat valley against the Taliban.
However, the day went unnoticed in her home district Swat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where more girls than ever are in school since she was attacked by the Taliban.
