Malala Yousafzai Graduates from Oxford University

Pakistani human rights campaigner Malala Yousafzai has expressed her "joy and gratitude" at graduating from Oxford University.

The 22-year-old, who survived a shot to the head by Taliban soldiers, studied politics, philosophy, and economics at Lady Margaret Hall.

Tweeting earlier, she said: "I don't know what's ahead. For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep."

Yousafzai was attacked for saying girls should be allowed to stay in education.

She was shot in the head, neck, and shoulder as she traveled home from school after writing an anonymous diary about life under the extremists.

After healing from her near-fatal injury, she and her family moved to Birmingham.

In 2014, at the age of 17, she became the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She accepted a place to study at Oxford three years later.

Ms Yousafzai tweeted two pictures as she announced the news that she completed her degree.

In one, she is celebrating with her family in front of a graduation cake.

The other was taken after a "trash," a tradition at the university where students are coated in food and confetti upon passing their exams.
