The best way to fight terrorism is not through guns. It's through pens, books, teachers and schools.

I am stronger than fear.

We felt like the Taliban saw us as little dolls to control, telling us what to do and how to dress. I thought if God wanted us to be like that He wouldn't have made us all different.

I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. Even if there was a gun in my hand and he was standing in front of me, I would not shoot him.

Instead of sending guns, send books. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers.

Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potential

I have the right of education. I have the right to play. I have the right to sing. I have the right to talk. I have the right to go to market. I have the right to speak up.
