Malala: Should I Get Married? How to Fall in Love as a Feminist

Video Description

Malala Yousafzai was shot by Taliban gunmen when she was 15. She then became the youngest ever recipient of the Novel Peace Prize, but since then she’s been desperate to discover who she really is underneath the weight of the world’s expectations. In this chat with Fearne, Malala explains why skipping classes, smoking weed, chasing bad boys, navigating love as a feminist, and learning that being “brave” doesn’t mean never feeling scared. Together, Fearne and Malala explore the power of vulnerability, identity, and hope and how every woman deserves the right to make her own choices, whether in marriage, education, or freedom. Malala talks through how she dealt with her own PTSD, and reframes what it means to be brave. She also discusses the heartbreaking situation for girls in Afghanistan; what she calls a “gender apartheid” and how we can channel anger into action through the Malala Fund to support girls’ education worldwide. 📘 Malala’s memoir Finding My Way is out now. 🌍 Support women and girls: malala.org ABOUT HAPPY PLACE Fearne's HAPPY PLACE is a place to celebrate honesty, authenticity and community.
