The International Malala Day is celebrated on 12 July on the occasion of young activist Malala Yousafzai’s birthday.
The United Nations designated this date to be marked as Malala Day to honour the young woman who has been advocating for female education.
The day is used as an opportunity to appeal to the world leaders to ensure compulsory and free education for every child.
Malala Yousufzai was born in Mingora, Pakistan in 1997. She began advocating for women's education in 2008.
In 2012, she was attacked by the Talibani terrorist.
At the age of 17, Malala Yousafzai is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize since it came into existence in 1901.
