'I tell my story, not because it is unique, but because it is not,' Malala said as she received the award in Oslo's ornate city hall on the anniversary of Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel's death. Addressing being the youngest ever recipient of the tender age of 17, Malala said: 'I am pretty certain that I am also the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who still fights with her younger brothers. 'I want there to be peace everywhere, but my brothers and I are still working on that.' Arriving in Norway with friends and young activists from Pakistan, Syria and Nigeria, Malala met thousands of children, walked the streets to greet supporters and will open an exhibit where her blood stained dress, worn when her school bus was attacked, was put on display. Miss Yousafzai was barely 11 years old when she began championing girls' education, speaking out in TV interviews. The Taliban had overrun her home town of Mingora, terrorizing residents, threatening to blow up girls' schools, ordering teachers and students into the all-encompassing burqas. She was critically injured in October 2012, when a Taliban gunman boarded her school bus and shot her in the head. A bullet narrowly missed her brain and she was later airlifted to Britain for specialist treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where she underwent numerous surgeries and made a strong recovery. Malala currently lives with her father, mother and two brothers in Birmingham, attending a local school. She has since written a book, I Am Malala, spoken to international audiences and on television and has been been showered with human rights prizes, including the European Parliament's Sakharov Award. In September the Pakistani military arrested ten men, all part of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), for the attempted murder of Malala. Her fellow recipient, Satyarthi, who is credited with saving around 80,000 children from slave labour sometimes in violent confrontations, kept a modest profile in Oslo and even conceded to being overshadowed by Malala surrounded by admirers. 'I've lost two of my colleagues,' Satyarthi said about his work. 'Carrying the dead body of a colleague who is fighting for the protection of children is something I'll never forget, even as I sit here to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.' Nobel Prize winners in literature, chemistry, physics, medicin eand economics are currently gathering in Stockholm, due to receive their prizes from the King of Sweden later in the day.
