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

read thousands of books and I will power myself with knowledge. Pens and books are the weapons that defeat terrorism.

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.

My goal is to get peace and my goal is to see education of every child.

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

Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights.

I don't want to be thought of as the 'girl who was shot by the Taliban' but the 'girl who fought for education. This is the cause to which I want to devote my life.
