Malala Yousafzai, 17, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. She won jointly with the children's rights campaigner Kailash Satyarthi. Malala won two years after a gunman shot her in the head on a school bus. She recovered and toured the world speaking for the rights of girls to go to school. She said school, "is like walking through a magic door to your dreams". Malala is the youngest ever winner of the prize and the second Pakistani.
