SWAT VALLEY IS PAKISTAN’S MOST BEAUTIFUL VALLEY. IT IS ALSO CALLED SWITZERLAND OF PAKISTAN. THE CAPITAL OF SWAT IS SAIDU SHARIF, BUT THE MAIN TOWN IN THE SWAT VALLEY IS MINGORA. IT IS THE UPPER VALLEY OF THE SWAT RIVER, WHICH RISES IN THE HINDU KUSH RANGE.

Sadly, militants in Swat, Pakistan, have destroyed 191 schools including 122 schools for girls.

TALIBAN ATTACK On 9 October 2012, Malala was shot on her school bus

in north western Swat by Taliban gunmen for the "crime" of promoting girls' education

In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition, but later her condition improved enough for her to be sent to a hospital in England for intensive rehabilitation
