I want every girl, every child, to be educated.

Our men think earning money and ordering around others is where power lies. They don't think power is in the hands of the woman who takes care of everyone all day long, and gives birth to their children.

My mother always told me,”hide your face- people are looking at you”. I would reply,”It does not matter; I am also looking at them.

We liked to be known as the clever girls. When we decorated our hands with henna for holidays and weddings, we drew calculus and chemical formulae instead of flowers and butterflies.

I believe in the power of the voice of women.

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

When I look at my goal, my goal is peace.
