Abstract
This paper seeks to suggest that Malala Yousafzai, despite being born and brought up in Swat, a small valley which is part of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan), proved to be an emissary of education for women and hence of their empowerment with sheer grit and courage in the face of multiple threats. The paper also attempts to understand that in her autobiography, Malala’s voice gives a clear assurance of the promotion of gender equality. It has already been established that she strived to find a place of independence and liberation amidst a male-privileged society. Malala Yousafzai’s act of writing blogs and challenging the Taliban has promoted the slogan “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world”(UNESCO Speech) and it has become the slogan for millions of men and women worldwide who actively work to claim their rights.
