Few bloggers have to think about the real-world consequences of their writing. Malala Yousafzai — the 16-year-old blogger from Pakistan who was shot in the head by the Taliban on her way home from school last October — knows those consequences far too well.
The Taliban targeted Malala because she was outspoken about girls' rights. Ten months after being shot, she continues to advocate for girls attending school. She believes, now more than ever, that every child has the right to an education.

"My dream is to see every girl get an education in every country," she said on stage at the Social Good Summit on Monday.
In a previous speech at the United Nations, Malala articulated that she has only been strengthened by the incident last year with the Taliban.
"The only thing that changed when I was shot, is that weakness, fear and hopelessness died," she said.
While it may sound like Malala is reaching for an impossible goal, especially for the victim of a targeted attack by the Taliban, Malala is more empowered than ever before.
"When I think about the support and the love of people, I don't think about the incident that I faced 10 months ago," she said. "When I look at the smiles, when I look at the happiness of people, when I look at their support and their love, I think that I'm the luckiest one, I am the luckiest girl."
Part of that luck comes from the support of her family. Malala's father, Ziauddin, joined her on stage on Monday, and voiced his support for everything his daughter has accomplished.
"I only did one thing as her father, and that is, I accepted her as a free individual," Ziauddin said. "In most parts of the world, when a girl is born, her wings are clipped, she is not able to fly."
To help continue her role as a free individual, Malala began tweeting and hosted a Twitter chat from @MalalaFund on Monday afternoon.
She is also releasing her first book, I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, on Oct. 8.
