[size=4]Thousands of people have called for a [url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/nobelpeaceprize"]Nobel peace prize[/url] for [url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/malala-yousafzai"]Malala Yousafzai[/url], the 15-year-old who was shot by the Taliban while campaigning for girls' education in [url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/pakistan"]Pakistan[/url].[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
Malala has the support of more than 60,000 people backing a petition to nominate her for the prestigious award.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
The call came ahead of Saturday's global day of action marking one month since Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
In the UK, Shahida Choudhary is campaigning for the prime minister and prominent politicians to write to the Nobel committee to recommend Malala.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
Choudhary said: "Malala doesn't just represent one young woman, she speaks out for all those who are denied an education purely on the basis of their [url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gender"]gender[/url].[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
"There are girls like Malala in the UK and across the world. I was one of them.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
[size=4]"I started this petition because a Nobel peace prize for Malala will send a clear message that the world is watching and will support those who stand up for the right of girls to get an education."[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
Choudhary was taken out of school in the UK aged 16 and forced into a marriage in Pakistan. She escaped back to the UK, returned to education aged 28, and runs a network in Birmingham to support women in similar situations.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial, sans-serif]
Malala, was attacked last month with two other girls while travelling home from school in the Swat valley.[/font][/color]
