Introduction to Teen Activists
Now you have heard what a teen activist is and a few teens who stood up in front of the stage of the world and have done amazing things. I will give you a brief introduction before we dive into these equally amazing people who I will tell the life stories of. Well, first off is Malala Yousafzai. She is a Pakistani girl who stood up for girl's rights. She was shot by the Taliban, but survived. She is giving children the education they deserve. Second is Iqbal Masih. He was another Pakistani boy. He fought for children education and child labor. He himself was a victim of child labor but escaped. Finally, Craig Kielburger. He is a man who started small. He started as a kid when he heard about Iqbal Masih. He has now created a company called Free the Children. So there they are. The three teen activists I will be talking about.
