Today, on #MalalaDay, we asked young women from the @GirlsOpportunityAlliance to tell us how @Malala inspires them. You can read what they shared below—and I hope everyone will follow Malala’s extraordinary example and keep fighting for girls everywhere to get the education they deserve. “In my community, many girls don’t finish school. My parents encouraged my education, but there were times when I felt my own dreams slipping away. Malala gave me an example of strength and determination to take inspiration from. I’m proud to say I graduated.” -Clare (Kampala, Uganda) “Whenever I’m needing confidence, I look at role models like Malala. She taught me about the importance of education for girls all over the world and how we all have to stand up for each other. I’m committed to doing that.” -Allena (Hawai’i, USA) “Malala is a great woman! She fought for education and for this reason I want to be like her. I admire her, and my class section is even named after her at my school." Claudia (Sololá, Guatemala) “Malala proved that one girl’s voice can change the world. Since she did it, it makes me believe that I can too.” -Dreshta (New York, USA)
