Education is the most powerful tool in the world. Being denied education should be considered an inhumane crime. “...I called on the world’s leaders to provide free education to every child in the world. ‘Let us pick up our books and our pens,’ I said. ‘They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.”” (Yousafzai 310).

This basic right is under attack nowadays, schools are targeted and in many parts of the world students are prevented from going to school. We must fight with all we have to protect schools and make them safe havens of development and tolerance,” the Director-General declared (Nobel Lecture). The Nobel Peace prize honors and recognizes one’s work throughout their life and provides funding to further their mission (Nobel Prize History). Earning the prize at such a young age of 17 was a great accomplishment for Malala, and made her the youngest Nobel laureate. Winning the prize also provided Malala more publicity and air time, which she used to speak out and provide knowledge about the issue of unequal
