Malala Yousafzai became one of the most iconic global activists for girls education after her inspiring recovery from a gunshot she received while boarding a school bus. She went on to win a Nobel Peace Prize and helps empower girls all over the world access education opportunities and life-changing skills through the Malala Fund.

Now, Malala is continuing her fight for girls education using Change.org. She is asking the Global Partnership for Education to fund a full 12 years of education for girls around the world.

This Thursday September 24th, while leaders at the United Nations meet to discuss a new set of global goals, we will be hosting a Twitter rally with Malala to achieve this goal. Participating is easy – all you have to do is tweet! You can RSVP on Facebook for more information.

Until then, please consider supporting her petition and sharing it on social media to help spread the word!
