She had many surgeries over the next year. It took Malala a long time to heal. But she still showed kindness to the men who shot her. “Islam teaches us humanity, equality, forgiveness,” she said. “It doesn’t matter for me if the left side of my face isn’t working or if I can’t blink this eye properly.” Malala and her family continue to fight for girls’ education.
