– “Malala named Glamour’s Woman of the Year 2013”
“Teenage activist Malala Yousufzai was named a 2013 Glamour Woman of the Year, the magazine’s website reported.

Malala was shot by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) gunmen last year for promoting girls’ education. She now lives in the UK after she was flown there for medical treatment.

With this announcement, the magazine will kick off a yearlong campaign to raise support for the Malala Fund, which helps programs that directly impact the quality and accessibility of education for girls.

This is not the first time Glamour has honoured a Pakistani woman. Rape survivor and international icon Mukhtara Mai was named Woman of the Year in 2005, while Academy Award-winning film-maker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and acid burn survivor Zakia jointly received the award in 2012,” quoting The Express Tribune with the International New York Times.

“I am in the body of a woman because women are the most prejudiced species there is. Forget the Equal Rights movement. Let’s talk about women of all virtues and all ethnic groups around the world that to this day some are burned to death by their husbandmen because their dowry has run out. “
