Malala Yousafzai's mission of securing women the right to education has by no means been an easy one. At the age of 15, she nearly lost her life after being targeted by the Taliban, a Sunni Islamist organization operating primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

In December of that year, her charity organization, the Malala Fund, co-founded by her father Ziauddin, earned her a Nobel Peace Prize, making her the youngest-ever Nobel laureate.
Today, the Oxford graduate can be found leading international seminars and talks and traveling the world to give girls fighting poverty, wars, child marriages, and gender discrimination a voice and the chance to go to school.
