The United Nations (UN) has declared Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai as “the most famous teenager in the world” in its Decade in Review.

In part one of its review series, which takes into account events that happened between 2010 and the end of 2013, the UN highlighted the devastating Haiti earthquake in 2010, the beginning of the ongoing Syrian conflict for 2011 and Malala's work in favour of girls’ education for the year 2012.

In 2014, Malala became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her efforts for children’s rights.

On October 2012, Malala was shot in the head at point-blank range by the Taliban as she was returning home from her school in Swat valley.

Recently, Nobel Peace Prize winner has been featured on Teen Vogue’s final cover of the decade.
