Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 2nd October, 2018) The portrait of Pakistani Nobel prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai’s has been displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The portrait was shared by her father Ziauddin Yousafzai on his Twitter account.
Yousafzai shared that the portrait of Malala by Shirin Nishat has a poem inscribed on it which is written by Pushto poet Rahmat Shah Sayel.
“Portrait of @Malala by Shirin Nishat unveiled at @NPGLondon. The poem inscribed on the portrait is written by the great Pushto poet Rahmat Shah Sayel.We are grateful to the artist for creating this wonderful piece of art depicting strength,resilience&courage,” he wrote.
Malala is currently studying at Oxford University and is an advocate for girls' education.
The heartless terrorists shot at the then 15-year-old Malala for the highly ‘sinful’ act of advocating girls’ education in Swat Valley.
But not only did she survive this attack, she retaliated with even more resilience and courage. This gave her global attention and she became an international figure – an activist advocating women and child rights on international forums.
Her efforts were not only recognized at home but she was applauded internationally as well. In 2013, she won the United Nations Human Rights Prize, awarded every five years. She appeared on the cover of Times magazine and was named in the magazine’s list of most influential people in 2013.
Not only this, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 in recognition of her efforts to advocate children’s rights, making her the youngest Nobel Laureate.
