Malala Yousafzai receives incredible support after her Vogue cover interview is unveiled

Malala Yousafzai has received widespread support after her cover interview with Vogue was unveiled.

Posting on Twitter, people expressed their support for the human rights activist and Nobel Prize laureate after she unveiled the magazine on Twitter:

Malala is a campaigner for female education rights. In October 2012, when she was 15, a Taliban gunman shot her and two classmates as they travelled home from school in a bus, breaking a rule in the city of Mingora. It was an event that caused her up the ante with her activism. She launched Malala Fund to further campaign for female rights and wrote an autobiography about her experiences.

People loved the warm and down to earth interview with the famous figure:
