Since gaining international fame, Malala has consistently used different political and diplomatic forums to further causes including education. While under treatment in UK, she launched the "I am Malala" petition through the UN demanding that all girls worldwide be sent to schools by 2015. She even confronted President Obama about drone strikes in Pakistan, at a meeting at the White House in 2013.
