Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai along with her father Ziauddin Yousafzai will celebrate her 20th birthday today (Wednesday) in Middle East with the refugee girls from conflict areas. She will assure them of her support and pledge to play a vital role for women rights.
Malala also plans to visit Africa and Latin America areas to empower the girls residing in those countries. Yousafzai had fought for years for the right of girls to education in her home region in Pakistan. She leapt to global fame after a Taliban gunman shot her in the head on a school bus in October 2012 for defending her right to attend school.
