Whenever you see Malala Yousafzai at high-profile global events, more often than not, she's with her Dad, not her Mum. But her mother, Toor Pekai Yousafzai, speaks exclusively to Woman's Hour about settling in the UK, being Malala's Mum and the importance of getting her own education.

They are joined by Maya Foa, Director of Reprieve.
