Malala Yousufzai will visit the UAE in February to thank her supporters, said Pakistani Ambassador to UAE Jamil Khan on Wednesday night, as reported by Gulf News. She will then travel to Makkah to perform Umra. Jamil Khan gave a speech at the Pakistan Embassy in Abu Dhabi expressing his support for Malala and stressed the importance of women empowerment in Pakistan.
Malala, a 15-year-old child rights activist, was shot in the head by the Taliban on her way back home from school for speaking against them. She survived the attack and is currently recuperating at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
