Malala Day; Malala Yousafzai’s Appearance at UN Youth Assembly
Malala Yousafzai marks her 16th birthday today at the United Nations headquarters at the UN Youth Assembly in support of the UN Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative. This is her first high-level public appearance since she was shot by the Taliban while travelling to school last year in Pakistan for her devoted campaign for the right of all girls to an education.
July 12 has been declared as Malala Day, observed internationally for the first time today.
