I want poverty to end in tomorrow's Pakistan. I want every girl in Pakistan to go to school.

There was a time when women activists asked men to stand up for their rights. But this time we will do it by ourselves. I am not telling men to step away from speaking for women’s rights, but I am focusing on women to be independent and fight for themselves.

We are stronger than those who oppress us, who seek to silence us. We are stronger than the enemies of education. We are stronger than fear, hatred, violence and poverty.

It is not time to tell the leaders to realize how important education is - they already know it - their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action.

Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality.

So today, we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favor of peace and prosperity. We call upon the world leaders that all of these deals must protect women and children’s rights. A deal that goes against the rights of women is unacceptable.

I speak not for myself, but so those without a voice can be heard. Those who have fought for their rights. Their right to live in peace. Their right to be treated with dignity. Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated.

Why is it, that giving guns is so easy, but giving books is so hard?

Once I had asked God for one or two extra inches in height, but instead he made me as tall as the sky, so high that I could not measure myself.

If you hit a Talib, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty. You must fight others through peace and through dialogue and through education.
Malala Yousafzai

I don't want awards, I want my daughter. I wouldn't exchange a single eyelash of my daughter for the whole world.
Malala Yousafzai
Image
I tell my story, not because it is unique, but because it is not. It is the story of many girls.
Malala Yousafzai
Image
When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.
Malala Yousafzai
Image
We are human beings, and this is the part of our human nature, that we don't learn the importance of anything until it's snatched from our hands.

There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color or religion.
Malala Yousafzai
Image
I am not against anyone. Neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I am here to speak for the right of education for every child. I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists.

It gives a message to people of love... it does not matter what's the colour of your skin, what language do you speak, what religion do you believe in. It is that we should all consider each other as human beings and we should respect each other.
