The Pakistani education rights icon last visited the country in 2018, nearly four years ago. She was returning home for the first time since being shot by the Taliban in Swat Valley.
She was shot and taken to the military hospital in Peshawar, but was later flown to London for further treatment. The shooting was widely condemned around the world.
She has become a symbol of international resistance to the Taliban’s efforts to deny women education and other rights.
At the age of 17, Yousafzai became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, in recognition of her efforts for children’s rights.
The Nobel laureate has returned to the country for the second time to assist those affected by the floods in Sindh.
