The story

When girls in her valley in Pakistan were told they could not go to school, 11-year-old Malala Yousafzai started writing about it in 2009. Her words travelled far past her town, and she kept speaking for girls' education until the whole world was listening.

What you'll learn

  • Writing and speaking can spread an idea much further than one town.
  • Millions of girls around the world still cannot go to school.
  • Malala became the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.
  • Kid takeaway: your voice counts, even when you are the youngest in the room.
