"When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.” ~Malala Yousafzai

 

 

Malala's story crushed the world's perception of the gender  inequality of education in many countries around the world.  After the Taliban tried to kill her as a 15 year old and because of her activism for education rights in Pakistan, after her family's forced exile to England to protect her from continued murder attempts, after she was named the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and after establishing the Malala Fund to ensure that all girls have the right to have 12 years of safe, free, and quality education, Malala is still fighting for a world where all girls can learn and lead.

 

"Why are more than 130 million girls out of school?  Threats to girls’ education — like poverty, war and gender discrimination — differ between countries and communities."  Child labor, early marriage, conflict, cost, gender bias, health, natural disasters, and poor quality of education programs are among the various threats that over 130 million girls face in numerous countries globally.

“I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.”  ~Malala Yousafzai
