i mean, the courage of malala, i think is just astonishing. totally unafraid to speak her mind.d to speak, not only for herself. she has this global vision of women's rights. and so she is speaking for women and girls around the world, which is an incredible thing. and to pick up on the point that anna was making, you know, when we see things, whether they're big injustices or small, or if they're sort of like underlying sexist principles like the robin thicke video, it really is important that we call them out. because sometimes ordinary people who are watching that video not thinking too much of it, but then if you pointed out -- if you mock it out or point it out and say this is really sexist, suddenly they go, oh, yeah, you're right. and then they have more awareness of what's going on. so those sorts of things are really, really important. no matter how big or small the issue. it's vital that you have the tools and the ability and the courage to call it out and i think we saw some incredible women doing that this year. >> yeah. and that deconstruction right doesn't have to
