Last fall, the world celebrated when the teenage Pakistani women's right activist was chosen as the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2014, in a ceremony that saw her become the youngest person to gather this incredible honor - now, months later, Malala Yousafzai's letter to young victims of abduction shows how this activist's not stopping to defend the rights of women everywhere.
In early December, Food World News reported that the 17 year-old activist had gone to Oslo to receive this incredible honor, but now, through Malala Yousafzai's letter to the Boko Haram girls, she's showing the world once again what she's made of.
Famously, Yousafzai stood up against the Taliban regime in her country asking that her right to an education be respected, becoming famous from her early years as an anonymous BBC correspondent - which led to the Taliban ultimately shooting her, though she survived, turning into a symbol for the rights of young girls everywhere, a cause she continues to pursue in the recent Malala Yousafzai letter.
According to The Hindu, Malala Yousafzai's letter was released last Tuesday, as she accused leaders in Nigeria and all over the world for not securing the release of more than 200 girls who were abducted by militants of terrorist group Boko Haram one year ago.
CNN reports that Malala Yousafzai's letter was directed not so much to world leaders, but rather to the victims of Boko Haram, as she stated that she could relate to their situation, as she too was a victim of groups that didn't allow her to go to school.
Calling them "brave sisters" according to Time Magazine, Yousafzai talked about how she'd spent time with the girls' parents and those classmates who escaped the horrors of being kidnapped - those five girls who managed to run away are now receiving full scholarships for them continue their education through the Malala Fund.
"We hope to someday extend that same scholarship to all 219 of you, when you return home," went Malala Yousafzai's letter to the young girls.
