The Malala fund, an international non profit organization which invests in education programs to help girls go to school, has developed a new resource, “Raise your voice with Malala: A guide to taking action for girls’ education.”
The guide which features real stories about advocacy tactics girls have successfully used to fight for their education, provide teenage girls between 13-18 years in marginalized and impoverished communities with the information and tools they need to speak out, take action and create change.

According to a statement by the Malala Fund CEO Farah Mohamed, the resource was created to support the next generation of activists. “Girls know that education can change the trajectory of their lives. That’s why around the world they are challenging people in power and demanding their right to go to school and pursue the careers they want. To support the next generation of activists, Malala Fund developed the new resource.”
Mohamed butressed on the essence of developing the resource, “equipping girls with advocacy tools can help them structure their passion into a targeted strategies and give them a fighting chance for success in their local campaigns. If Malala’s voice could stand out and affect change, imagine what millions more could do.”
Malala Fund’s Gulmakai Champions in Afghanistan, Brazil, Nigeria, India, Pakistan and Turkey will circulate the guide through national campaign efforts and use the guide with girls in their programmes — training them on how to advocate for girls’ education.
Speaking on the relevance and importance of the guide, Gulmakai Champion, Habiba Mohammed from Nigeria said “this is an important advocacy toolkit that will help girls know how to use their voice to demand their right to education and to live the life they deserve”.
Malala Fund hopes to engage 25,000 girl activists with the guide and it will be disseminated to girls in collaboration with global education partners like Girl Rising and the Discovery Learning Alliance. The guide is available in 10 languages.
