Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist, United Nations

Messenger of Peace, and the youngest person to receive the


Nobel Peace Prize. In 2011, the Taliban regime banned
education for women. Malala, in disagreement, gave several
interviews about what happened. Due to her activism for
women's education, she suffered an attack on October 9, 2012,
when she was 15 years old. After this event, the world learned
about Malala's story and courage, positioning her as one of the
most influential women in the world. In 2013, she went to the
UN to call for access to education around the world. She won
the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for the rights of young
people, children and women. One of her most famous phrases
is “A child, a teacher, a book and a pen can change the world.
Education is the only solution”
