Malala Yousafzai on What She’s Learned About Changing the World
Malala Yousafzai, Nobel laureate and global champion for girls’ education, delivered a candid TED2026 talk reflecting on the setbacks after the Taliban seized Afghanistan in 2021. She explained how that crisis forced her to abandon naïve optimism and adopt a more pragmatic, honest approach to driving change. The speech outlines strategies for sustaining advocacy when hope wanes, urging audiences to keep fighting for the future they envision. The talk is now available via the TED2026 All of Us conference platform.
