UNITED NATIONS: The UN has declared education activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai as “the most famous teenager in the world” in its ‘Decade in Review’ report.
In part one of its review series, which takes into account events that happened between 2010 and the end of 2013, the UN highlighted the devastating Haiti earthquake in 2010, the beginning of the ongoing Syrian conflict.
The UN took Malala’s work in favor of girls’ education for the year 2012 into account.
In 2014, Malala became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The 22-year-old was also recently chosen by Teen Vogue as its cover person for its last issue of the decade.
