Malala Yousafzai has been named an honorary Canadian citizen by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
On Parliament Hill, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau greets Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize recipient and advocate for girls' education, as she receives honorary Canadian citizenship.
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced that Malala Yousafzai will visit Canada on April 12, 2017, to address the Canadian Parliament and to officially receive the honorary Canadian citizenship bestowed upon her in 2014.
At 15 years old, Ms. Yousafzai was the target of Taliban assassins after she became an outspoken advocate for the right of girls to learn and to attend school. She has since become an international spokesperson for girls’ education and the rights of women and girls. In recognition of this work, she was named a co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.
Prime Minister Trudeau will take this opportunity to meet with Ms. Yousafzai to discuss girls’ empowerment through education and how they can actively contribute to the sustainable development of their communities and countries.
