New Home, New Feel!After Malala was shot, she was sent to Birmingham, England for treatment. After that, she ended up living there. While at her new home, she also had to adjust to her new school. In an article "Malala Yousafzai on life in Britian: 'We have never seen any women so free'", she explained how "It was difficult to adjust to this new culture and this new society... because we have never seen that women would be that much free, that they would go to any market, they will be going alone with no men and with no brothers and fathers, because, in our country, if you want to go outside, you must go with a man – if even your five-year-old brother goes with you it's fine, but you must have someone else, a girl cannot go outside all alone."

Missing Home |
Although Malala enjoys her new home and school in England, that doesn't mean she misses home. In her book "I Am Malala", she stated how she knows that she "... will go back to Pakistian, but whenever I tell my father I want to go home, he finds excuses. 'No, Jani, your treatment is not complete,... These schools are good. You should stay here and gather knowledge so you can use your words powerfully" (Yousafzai 311). Malala has been through a lot. From getting shot in the head, to moving to entire new home. Being moved from a place where that was the only home she ever knew to a new home that you've only heard of is not easy. But she knows that she'll go back home, and she will fight.
