NOBEL FOR MALALA

In 2013, I started a campaign to help win Malala Yousafzai the Nobel Peace Prize. I’ve always been impressed by Malala’s humility and felt she really deserved to to be recognised in this way. I liaised with Downing Street to deliver a petition signed by Sun readers and mobilised support through social media platforms. The prize was eventually awarded to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons but the coverage continued with an article highlighting the plight of other young women defying the Taliban to attend school.
