Pakistani activist for girls education Malala Yousufzai has publically urged global leaders "to invest in girls education" ahead of the 44th G7 Summit being held on (June 8 and 9) in Canada.
In a video message released on her Twitter account @Malala, the young Nobel laureate and founder of Malala Fund stressed on the importance of investing in girls 12 years of education can help us grow economies, reduce conflicts, improve public health and also tackle climate change.
“Throughout your discussions, I ask you to remember that this is not only a moment for you and country but also a significant moment for the 7.6 billion people around the world,” Malala said.
She further emphasized that the concern, "This isn't about the hundred and thirty million girls out of schools, but also about the thirty million opportunities being missed out for the future."
Quit dream of being PM, says Malala
“Each one of you has a choice to make. I hope that you will choose to be bold; I hope that you will choose to be smart; I hope that you will choose to invest and save quality and free excess to twelve years of education for every girl in every country of the world; inside and outside of the G7 countries. Thank you,” she concludes.
