Malala Yousafzai stood up to the Taliban and was nearly killed for her courage and activism. The attempt against her life did not silence her. In fact, it only served to ground her more solidly in her cause – championing the right to quality education for all children around the world. Her story demonstrates that all of us have the strength to stand up, raise our voices, and win, even against the most violent of oppressors.
