The 20-year-old Pakistani activist for female education said in a statement that she hoped to show "the humanity behind the statistics."
Yousafzai also is known for her best-selling memoir I Am Malala.
What an honour to be able to listen to @Malala talk about her new book at #Showcase2018 today - audible gasp around the theatre when she was brought onto the stage, and a standing ovation closed her interview. One of those 'pinch me' moments. Wow. https://t.co/rGeauIASCx

Career highlight today as I got to see @Malala speak at an event I was on the organising team for, the @HachetteUK #Showcase18. I’ve never been prouder to work in publishing and to help put out great books that change the world. Yay books! Yay education!
