Education and changing the world with Malala Yousafzai
Activist Malala Yousafzai talks about girls' education, what it’s like living back at home after uni, why she loves British sitcoms and how to make lasting change in the world.
Education is a true passion for Malala Yousafzai, the activist who became a global household name after being shot in the face aged 15 by the Taliban on a school bus in Pakistan - simply because she wanted to have an education as a young woman.
She was brought to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham to begin a long process of recovery and rehabilitation
Malala come a long way since then, winning the Nobel peace prize, graduating from Oxford this summer and working with her charity, the Malala Fund, campaigning about girls education.
The Malala Fund has warned that some 20 million girls may not return to education in the wake of the coronavirus.
Malala spoke to Emma Barnett about what politicians could do to help girls return to school, what it’s like living back at home after university, why she loves British sitcoms and whether politics is the best way to make lasting change in the world.
