Malala Yousafzai once said, “I want to stay focused on my mission. That is to see every girl get the right to education. And I think this is such an important thing that girls get their right to go to school, and we are losing the potential that all these young girls have in this region, like Iraq.”

  • “ I don’t mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I am afraid of no one.” - Malala Yousafzai

As a young girl, Malala Yousafzai defied the Taliban in Pakistan and demanded that girls be allowed to receive an education.
