Malala’s brave campaign for education and women’s rights began when she was 15 years old and was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman on her way to school. Despite the threat to her life, she continued to speak out and campaign for education.
Yousafzai made an emotional speech at the United Nations in 2013 pushing for global access to education. Her message struck a chord with people all across the world, and her remark has become a rallying cry for those who believe in the transformational power of education.
