The bravery of girls’ education activist Malala Yousafzai has inspired children around the world to fight for a better education, key figures in a UN campaign said on Friday.
Hosting a discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, UN Special Education Envoy and former British prime minister Gordon Brown paid tribute to the 15-year-old girl, who was shot in the head by the Taliban in Swat in October.
Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, who is also involved in UN education efforts, said Malala’s example showed the need for the international community to help “vulnerable states”.

Without a doubt Malala is not just a Pakistani but world hero. Only yesterday there was a survey where Pakistanis voted over 87% for IK and only under 2% for Malala. Her name would be remembered in history while the others who do not appreciate her achievement for women's education would disappear in history.
