Malala moves the world

, September 26, 2013

Pakistani education crusader Malala Yousafzai (L) receives the "Leadership in Civil Society" award from Rania Al Abdullah, the Queen of Jordan at the Clinton Global Initiative 2013 (CGI) in New York, on September 25. Yousafzai, 16, was shot in the head by the Taliban last year for demanding education for girls.  She now lives in the UK because she cannot safely return to Pakistan.

Earlier, Yousafzai and other youth activists challenged world leaders to come up with $175 million to educate 400,000 Syrian children who fled to neighbouring Lebanon to escape a civil war in their homeland. Reuters/Carlo Allegri
