Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai said she was “overwhelmed” to be back in her native Pakistan, as she arrived for a global summit on girls’ education in the Islamic world.

The education activist was shot by the Pakistan Taliban in 2012 when she was a schoolgirl, and has returned to the country only a handful of times since.
