On February 6, 2026, a portrait of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai was unveiled at Oxford University’s Lady Margaret Hall, a significant recognition of her contributions to education and human rights. The portrait, painted by Isabella Watling, was commissioned by the Oxford Pakistan Programme with support from donor Hamid Ismail. As reported by Daily Times, this event marks a proud milestone for Pakistan, as Malala becomes the second female Pakistani, after Benazir Bhutto, to have her portrait displayed at Oxford. Malala expressed her gratitude, stating, 'More than anything, I hope this portrait serves as a reminder that a girl from Swat Valley belongs here.' (Daily Times)
