Unic Press UK: Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai has been designated as United Nations Messenger of Peace by the UN Secretary-General António Guterres
At a ceremony in the Trusteeship Council chamber at UN Headquarters, on Monday, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres said:
“You have been to the most difficult places… visited several refugee camps. Your foundation has schools in Lebanon, in the Beka’a Valley… “[You are a] symbol of perhaps the most important thing in the world, education for all.”
In a speech after she had been designated UN Messenger of Peace, Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in 2012 by the Taliban for going to school, said:
“If you want to see your future bright, you have to start working now [and] not wait for anyone else.”
Malala won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.
