On Sept. 25, for the second time in her young life, Pakistani activist and Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai addressed the United Nations assembly.

From the balcony of the UN General Assembly room, the 18-year-old told the world leaders seated before her to “look up, because the future generation is raising its voice.”

There are a lot of rapes in the area and education is the only way for women—and men—to stop them.

Flanked by 193 young people from around the world—one for each current seat in the United Nations—Malala demanded safety and education for all children. Then she introduced a few of her “sisters”—other young women who are working with the Malala Fund, a non-profit promoting education for girls inspired and led by the young Pakistani activist.
