Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai is the author of the memoir I Am Malala. Her powerful story shares her fight for girls' education.
Moi, Malala, je lutte pour l'éducation et je résiste aux talibans
When the Taliban took control of Pakistan's Swat Valley, a young girl named Malala Yousafzai defied their fanatical decree against education, choosing to fight for her right to attend school. Her courage nearly cost her life when, at 15, she was shot in the head. This powerful memoir recounts her family's exile due to terrorism and her parents' brave decision to encourage their daughter's education in a society that favored sons. Malala's story became a global symbol against religious extremism, advocating for the education of girls in her country and millions of unschooled children worldwide.
