Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for advocating girls’ education, told President Barack Obama to stop sending guns to other countries.
“My message was very simple. I said instead of sending guns, send books. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers,” Malala, who is now 17, said Tuesday at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Philadelphia, speaking of her recent meeting with the president, nbc news reported.
Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by the Taliban terrorist group in 2012, won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.
With the prize, Yousafzai, 17, becomes the youngest Nobel Prize winner, eclipsing Australian-born British scientist Lawrence Bragg, who was 25 when he shared the Physics Prize with his father in 1915.
