Malala Yousufzai has also been nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize 2011 for raising her voice for girls’ education in troubled Swat, where girls were not only banned from attaining education but their schools were also destroyed by the militants.
While congratulating Yousufzai’s family, the prime minister also instructed the Cabinet division to distribute the National Peace Award every year to children less than 18 years of age.
