Malala graduates from Oxford University at 22. Malala is the Pakistani teenage girl that was shot by the Taliban terrorist group.
Her offence was her effrontery at daring to pursue an education.
The happy young woman posted pictures of her graduation ceremony as she celebrates with family behind a massive graduation cake.
In another picture, the human rights campaigner is completely covered in pastry and ice cream confetti. The ritual is an age-old one with graduating students of the ivy league school. They are known to splash each other with the confetti to signify a successful academic stint.
The 2014 Nobel Price winner is now 22 and could not help but express her joy in the public domain. In one of her posts on Twitter:
@Malala said:
“Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at Oxford. I don’t know what’s ahead. For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep.”
Major world bodies and notable personalities continue to send the activist goodwill messages. Youtube as as well as Facebook and Twitter app groups have also congratulated her. Indeed, Youtube felicitated with her way ahead of her actual graduation.

“Congratulations on your graduation,
! We’re honored to share your words and celebrate you as a member of the unstoppable Class of 2020. #DearClassof2020 youtube.com/dearclassof2020″
Malala was targeted and gruesomely shot by the Taliban while she was returning from school in the Swat Valley of Pakistan in 2012. She was left for dead by the group who sought to silence her in their regressive campaign that limits girls rights to education.
Malala was immediately evacuated to Birmingham for treatment. Gladly, she could not be silenced as she immediately resumed school in England on recovery. She also continued her human rights campaigns through her entire school days.
