Two weeks ago 14-year old Malala Yusufzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in response to her campaign against the destruction of girls' schools in Pakistan.
In the face of terror, Malala risked her life to speak out for the rights of girls everywhere.
Her bravery has sparked a global movement and we believe she deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for her courageous work.
The first step in this process is to get Malala nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Only certain people, like a Member of Parliament, are allowed put forward nominations. To make a major statement and to show that Canadians believe in Malala's work, we need all Canadian political party leaders and members to unanimously nominate Malala for the Nobel Peace Prize for her incredible work and bravery.
A Nobel Peace Prize for Malala will send a clear message that the world is watching and will support those who stand up for gender equality and universal human rights that includes the right of education for girls.
