Angelina Jolie is a famous American actress who is also the United Nations Goodwill Amabassador who has recently taken pro-active engagement in the global campaign to empower and support human rights and peace activists, Malala Yousafzi from Pakistan. Malala is nw receiving treatment in the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham.

Jolie is supporting the activist by spreading increased awareness and educating youth about who Malala is and about her cause. Jolie reminds her audience that education is a powerful tool to fight against injustice, ignorance and discrimination. Knowledge can be key to tipping the balances of inequality to an equal equilibrium.

“Still trying to understand, my children asked, ‘Why did those men think they needed to kill Malala?’” Jolie writes. “I answered, ‘because an education is a powerful thing.’”

 “This terrible event marks the beginning of a necessary revolution in girls’ education,” Jolie writes. “Malala is proof that it only takes the voice of one brave person to inspire countless men, women, and children.”

Jolie stated that Malala should be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize.

 “Malala is proof that it only takes the voice of one brave person to inspire countless men, women, and children,” Jolie recounts.
