Before watching:
You are going to watch a CNN report focusing on Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani schoolgirl, who is also an activist and campaigner for girls' education and against the Taliban putting harsh restrictions on women's and girls' rights.
The following words and notes could be useful:
prayer vigils: nights spent in prayers veillées de prières
to stand up for (one's rights): defend défendre / faire valoir (ses droits)
the UAE = United Arab Emirates
On 10 October 2013, she became the laureate of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought 2013, an award she will be invited to receive at a ceremony in Strasbourg on 20 November.
For more details about the Sakharov Prize: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakharov_Prize
Malala was also a favourite for the Nobel Peace Prize and she would have become the youngest recipient of the Prize, had she been awarded it on 11 October 2013.
Instead, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded it to the international chemical weapons watchdog that is destroying poison gas stockpiles in Syria - the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
