Malala: The Face of Revolution

"So here I stand, one girl among many. I speak not for myself, but so those without a voice can be heard. Those who have fought for their rights. Their rights to live in peace. Their right to be treated with dignity. Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated." This is just some of Malala's inspiring words on her speech to the United Nations in 2013. Malala is an education activist. She is the definition of revolutionary because she is a global advocate for millions of girls around the world who are a denied a formal education because of social, economic, and political factors. There are currently 57 million children out of school. Because of Malala, several millions of dollars has been raised for the Malala Fund towards children's education around the world. She has spoken up for the children with no voice, bringing awareness and attention to poor education. She has proven that there are no age limits to stand up to injustice. Malala has had a blog about education rights since she was 11 years old and spoke at the UN at just 16 years old to fight for what she believes in. Education is an important role in society. No child should ever be denied the right to an education. Malala is revolutionary because after she delivered her speech, the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon stated that the UN is committed to providing education to all children through its Global Education First Initiative. Malala has changed the world with brave words and fearless actions. Malala has given all of us hope that one day, all children will have complete access to a proper education. As Malala stated, "When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful."
