The GW Global Women’s Institute (GWI) is the educational partner of the Malala Fund, a nonprofit, named for Malala Yousafzai, working to ensure that girls around the world have access to education. GWI-affiliated faculty will work with the publisher Little, Brown and Company to develop curriculum tools to accompany Malala’s recently released memoir, “I Am Malala.” The book chronicles Malala’s efforts to promote girls’ education, even after an assassination attempt by the Taliban that almost killed her a year ago.
