Today, I received the World Press Photo award, an achievement I once wished to attain in a time of peace. But it pains me to accept it while documenting the suffering of my people under these horrific conditions. I want you to know that these scenes are not from the past; they

It's 2025 — and 122 million girls are still out of school. Every girl has the potential to lead, innovate, govern and transform the world. But governments continuously underfund education and refuse to protect girls' rights. Malala Fund's new strategy responds to this reality
