Malala Yousafzai became a global symbol of courage after surviving an assassination attempt for her advocacy of girls' education. She teaches that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important. 'I raise up my voice — not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. ' She teaches that a single, brave individual can challenge the most oppressive systems.
