The 17-year-old girls' rights activist Malala Yousafzai has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2014. She was one of two Nobel laureates to be declared winners this year. The other is Kailash Satyarthi, who campaigns for children's rights. Malala was given the accolade exactly two years and a day after a Taliban gunman shot her in the head on her school bus. Following her recovery in a British hospital, Malala has toured the world speaking up for the rights for girls to receive an education. She once told reporters that going to school, "is like walking through a magic door to your dreams". Malala becomes the youngest ever recipient of the prize and the second Pakistani to scoop the award.
