This is the emotional moment Malala Yousafzai breaks down in tears during a speech in Pakistan.

The 20-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner was back in Pakistan for the first time since 2012, when she was shot by Taliban militants who were angered by her campaigning for girls' education.

Malala said in a brief speech at a ceremony at prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's office that she will continue to campaign for the education of girls and asked Pakistanis to be united on issues like providing better healthcare and education.
