Malala Yousafzai – Nobel Peace Prize winner
“If one girl with an education can change the world, what can 130 million do?” – Malala Yousafzai
This 23-year-old activist has a longstanding history of fighting for females’ educational rights. One of the most motivational success stories, Malala is an inspiration to many. She began writing an anonymous blog for BBC Urdu on living in Taliban-controlled territory. She was barely 11 years old then. The next year, she was part of the documentary “Class Dismissed”, which was about the Taliban’s closure of schools. Malala gained international headlines in 2012 when she was the target of a Taliban murder attempt in reprisal for her outspoken campaigning. She healed and resumed her work by spreading global awareness of the “need for education” for girls and children.

Malala won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her contributions, making her the youngest Nobel laureate ever. She is presently a philosophy, politics, and economics student at Oxford University and has also written the book “We Are Displaced,” on the lives of refugee girls throughout the world. Malala continuously uses her platform to tell the experiences of other young women.
