Wide of the UNESCO conference hall STORYLINE Special tribute was paid to Malala Yousafzai at an event jointly held by Pakistan and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) in Paris on Monday. The 15-year-old schoolgirl was badly injured when a Taliban gunman opened fire on her and her friends as they were heading for school in Mingora in Pakistan's Swat Valley on 9 October. She was shot in the head. The Taliban targeted Malala for criticising the militant group and promoting secular girls' education, which is opposed by the Islamic extremists. Malala was flown to Britain for further medical treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham days after the attack and continues to make a steady recovery. Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, speaking a day after visiting Malala in hospital in Britain, said dark and anti-education forces had attacked Malala Yousafzai who is the symbol of resilience and represents the progressive vision of Pakistan. He said Pakistan's government stands "committed to the women of the world and Pakistan, for gender equality, for schools, for colleges, for equal opportunity in jobs." UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova announced a fund was being set up, with the help of the Pakistan government, in Malala's name. She added Pakistan is contributing to the fund with 10 (m) million US dollars. A message from Malala Yousafzai was read out at the event by a girl from Yemen. "My dream is to see all children, especially girls going to school to be educated. I dream of the peaceful world where all human beings are accommodating and tolerant. I wish to see equality and justice for all men and women," the girl quoted Malala as saying. According to UNESCO, girls make up the majority of the world's 61 (m) million out-of-school children.
