The ceasefire between Islamabad and the Taliban in Pakistan's Swat Valley proves that the Islamist extremist threat is getting stronger. And thats being felt hardest by Swat valley's young girls - who have lost their right to an education.
Fourteen-year-old Hina khan says all she wants for herself and her siblings is to go to school. "When I grow up I want to be a doctor" she said.
However, In a ruthless campaign Islamist extremists torched and destroyed more than 180 schools.
What Hina's family did was run away from Pakistan's Swat Valley, a picturesque region that used to be so popular, tourists called it Pakistan's Switzerland.
