Malala makes it to the British Vogue

Activist, author, tireless campaigner for girls’ education, student and survivor — that’s what British Vogue described Malala Yousafzai as when she posed for the cover of its July issue.

Malala is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate in history who know is on the cover of the July issue of British Vogue.

“I know the power of a young woman with a vision and mission in her heart. I hope every girl who sees this cover knows that it can change the world,” Malala wrote on Twitter.

Malala’s cover story was beautifully filmed by photographer Nick Knight and written by journalist Sirin Kale. According to Vogue, the interview video will be available on the online platform from Thursday. This is not the first time Malala has appeared in the international media, She starred in David Letterman’s Netflix Special, has an Academy Award-nominated documentary, appeared in Friends Reunion as a guest, and was a guest at Apple Inc.

But despite the fact that humble young activists pushed for women’s rights and left her homeland after the attack, Pakistan still has a faction that attacks her with hatred every time she gets something. Everything Malala has achieved, for some reason, is due to her status as a “Western puppet”, not a skilled young woman who is making us proud internationally. It seems difficult for people to accept the courage to stand up for what she believes in and for the Western awards and insights she has earned.

The amount of exploitation Malala faces from local accounts on social media is directly proportional to the love she receives abroad. She has always been praised for her bravery and international celebrities have been vocal in their support. Shahrukh Khan saying it would be a privilege to meet her, Twinkle Khanna inviting her to the Tweak India Summit for encouragement and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle invited her to celebrate International Day of the Girl are evidence of that.

Amidst all the hate she has been getting for her astonishing achievements, I would like to leave you with something she said in an interview with David Letterman: “I would hope that many people would have stood up and stood up against extremists, against not just the extremists, not just the people, but against the ideology.”.
