Every Day is Malala Day
Malala was shot by the Taliban for her audacity to go to school. Her inspirational story has served as an example of overcoming barriers and fighting for justice against the odds. Told in the form of a letter to Malala, featuring images of girls from around the world, Every Day is Malala Day demonstrates the importance of fighting for the right to education.
