She rallied the crowd by shouting at them to support education and those who help women.

But then Madonna decided that this performance clearly was not a strong enough statement, and chose to “dedicate” a strip tease to the girl, who is currently in a critical condition.

She turned her back to reveal “Malala” written across it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“This song is for Malala,” Madonna said, before singing her song.

But her attempt to make a stand in the name of Malala Yousafzai backfired after furious Pakistanis discovered her act.

There was a chorus of disapproval from Twitter users, who branded Madonna’s performance a shameless attempt to garner attention, Entertainment Today reported.

The brave teenager was targeted by the Taliban after speaking out against atrocities committed under the regime.
