Juan Manuel Santos
Henry Dunant
Kailash Satyarthi
Malala Yousafzai

The correct answer is: Malala Yousafzai.

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. She is known for human rights advocacy, especially the education of women and children in her native Swat Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Yousafzai’s advocacy has since grown into an international movement.

In 2012, the Taliban shot Yousafzai in the head on her way home from school, in an attempt to silence her activism. She survived the attack and went on to receive worldwide recognition for her advocacy. In 2014, Yousafzai became the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which she shared with Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian activist for child labor rights.

Yousafzai is the founder of the Malala Fund, which advocates for girls’ education and provides scholarships to girls in Pakistan and around the world. She is also a UN Messenger of Peace and a co-founder of the Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

Henry Dunant was a Swiss businessman and social activist who founded the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Red Cross Movement. He is considered the founder of modern humanitarian law.
