A role model for creating impactful change around the world, Malala Yousafzai first brought global attention to the issue of girls’ rights to education when she was 11 years old, blogging for the BBC from Pakistan. She was a teenager when she was shot by the Taliban, and she has remained an activist and a powerful voice for change ever since.

In 2013, she published a bestselling memoir, “I Am Malala,” and founded the Malala Fund, an international nonprofit advocating for girls’ education. A year later, she became the world’s youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner. Now she’s teaching you how to stand up to injustice in your own community, no matter where you live or how much—or little—experience you have.
