Malala Day is not my day. It is the day of every girl and every boy. It is a day when we come together to raise our voices, so that those without a voice can be heard.

Education is the best weapon through which we can fight poverty, ignorance and terrorism.

Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected.

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.

We cannot succeed when half of us are held back. We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave, to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential.

If we want to end terrorism we need to bring quality education so we defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred.

Books are a better investment in our future than bullets. Books, not bullets, will pave the path towards peace and prosperity.
