As a young child, Malala was exposed to the importance of education. Her father was in charge of running a local learning institution and instilled in Malala the value of attending school. Everything changed for Malala and her family when the Taliban began to have more authority in the Swat Valley region around 2007. The Taliban, a violent fundamental Islamist group, prohibited females from participating in many activities, including attending school. The Taliban were so committed to banning female access to education that they destroyed around 400 schools within two years of their control. But Malala would not be deterred from her passion for learning. Not only did she continue to attend school, but she also spoke publicly about her dissent. On a Pakistani televised ReadWorks.org · © 2017 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved. Malala Yousafzai program, Malala was brave enough to express her disbelief; "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?" Malala boldly proclaimed. Under the pseudonym 'Gul Makai,' she also began to blog about what it was like as a female under the Taliban's oppressive rule. Life became so dangerous for Malala and her family that they had to flee their home as a temporary safety measure. When they returned, Malala and her father started to become more vocal in opposition to the Taliban's sexist rules.
