Nobel Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai is being honoured by Harvard University for her work promoting girls' education.
Harvard's Kennedy School says Yousafzai will be awarded the 2018 Gleitsman Award at a December 6 ceremony.
Yousafzai became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 when she was recognized for her global work supporting schooling for all children.
As a teen in Pakistan, she survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban.
She later founded the nonprofit Malala Fund to support her work.
Harvard officials say her story has inspired a generation of boys and girls to follow in her footsteps.
