About the author
Malala Yousafzai, born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, has emerged as a leading voice in the global fight for education and women's rights. The youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, which she was awarded in 2014, Malala's advocacy has its roots in her own experiences with the Taliban's oppressive regime in the Swat Valley. Despite facing a near-fatal attack for her activism at just 15 years old, Malala's resolve only strengthened, pushing her onto the international stage.
Alongside her educational campaign, she pursued her own academic dreams, graduating from Oxford University with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. Malala's work extends beyond her written contributions; she is the co-founder of the Malala Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving every girl an opportunity to achieve a future she chooses. Through her fearless activism, poignant writing, and unwavering belief in the power of education, Malala continues to inspire individuals and leaders worldwide to stand up for equality and the right to education for all.
