STEWART/MALALA YOUSAFZAI
Born
in Pakistan, Malala is a women's education advocate in her country. Last year,
the Taliban issued a death threat against her for her willingness to speak out
and advocate her position. That same group acted upon that threat and shot her
in the face. Malala survived the attacked and authored a book titled I Am Malala. Recently she was
recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize becoming the youngest person ever to
receive that nomination.
I
highly suggest watching this interview.
