Although Malala Yousafzai is a mere 17 years old, she has captivated a global audience with her powerful message. Her journey began at the age of 11, with a blog post which was published on BBC Urdu. Using a pen name to protect herself and her family, the entry expressed her concerns for female education under the Taliban. Unfortunately she was still brutally targeted and attacked by the Taliban, but has made a miraculous recovery. A champion for youth education and empowerment, Malala was awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. She has taken advantage of this monumental accomplishment to start the Malala Fund, a children’s education fund.
