Malala Yousafzai hire inspirational speaker book at agent Great British Speakers
Malala Yousafzai became an international symbol for girls’ education after she was shot for opposing Taliban restrictions on female education in Pakistan.
In 2009, she began writing a blog under a pseudonym about the military action in her hometown, and her fears that the school would be attacked. Even after her identity was revealed, she continued to speak out for the right to education. But in 2012, on the return home from school, she was attacked by the Taliban and shot in the head. The attack received global condemnation, and in Pakistan over 2 million people signed a right to education petition, and the National Assembly ratified Pakistan’s first right to Free and Compulsory Education Bill.
After her attack, her and her family moved to the UK for her treatment, and since then she has become one of the world’s most inspirational speakers. So inspirational she is, she became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2014.
In 2013, Malala and her father co-founded the Malala Fund, bringing awareness to the social and economic impact of girls’ education and to empower girls to demand change.
