Every year on April 23, the World Book Day is observed to encourage reading, publishing, and copyright. Malala Yousafzai, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize from Pakistan, was quoted extensively by Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit to commemorate the occasion.
She stressed the influence these straightforward words had on forming young people’s thoughts. She also paid homage to Malala Yousafzai, a fierce supporter of women’s rights and education who has inspired millions with her bravery and tenacity.
Madhuri Dixit became UNICEF Celebrity Advocate for children’s rights in India. Her essay on World Book Day serves as a reminder of the value of education and the part that teachers and books play in forming the brains of young people. She has drawn attention to the significance of encouraging education for all people, particularly girls who experience the greatest obstacles, by publicising Malala Yousafzai’s statements.
Malala Yousafzai, who was born in 1997, spent her formative years in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, where she observed the Taliban’s repressive control over girls’ access to education. Despite the risk, she spoke out against their behaviour and fought for girls’ rights to an education.
She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012 when she was 15 years old and en her to school. She overcame the assault and persisted in speaking out, emerging as a universal representation of defiance against injustice.
Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her work advancing girls’ education, making her the youngest recipient of the award. She later went on to form the Malala Fund, which seeks to educate and empower girls all around the world, and she has now become a leading advocate for women’s rights and education.
