October 11 Is International Day of the Girl | Honoring Malala Yousafzai's Nobel Peace Prize & Angelina Jolie As A British Dame
/
On Friday Malala Yousafzai became the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, sharing the honor with India’s Kailash Satyarthi, who has dedicated himself to fighting child slavery in India for decades.
Malala has amazed millions of Westerners as an articulate survivor of the attempts of Pakistan’s Taliban to kill her. A vocal advocate for girls education who already had a blog on the BBC website, Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban, who commandeered her school bus. Not only did Malala Yousafzai defy all odds of surviving with her brain intact, she has achieved global rock star status as a change advocate for children.
