Pakistani schoolgirl campaigner Malala Yousafzai has won the Nobel Peace Prize, one of the world’s most respected awards.
She has been recognised for her hard work promoting the right for girls to have an education.
The prize judges said about Malala: “Through her heroic struggle she has become a leading spokesperson for girls’ rights to education.”
The 17-year-old is the youngest person to ever get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Malala was attacked by the Taliban, an extremist group, in Pakistan two years ago for her campaign work.
She was seriously injured in the attack but was flown to the UK for treatment and has recovered well.
She now goes to school in Birmingham and continues her campaigning.
The Nobel Peace Prize is one of a number of Nobel prizes given to people or organisations who have made outstanding achievements in different areas.
Malala has won it jointly with Indian child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi.
