43. Malala Yousefzai

In this episode, we discuss the Nobel Peace Prize winning Pakistani education activist, Malala Yousafzai. We consider how she was perceived and treated by Taliban terrorists in her own country and how she ended up in the UK. Then we look at the reasons she fought for education and how she continues to do so today. Finally, we explore where she is now with her life, controversial opinions on choices she has made, and the impact she has had on education and culture in Pakistan and beyond.
