It is the woman who controls the whole house...it's her job, that's what she's supposed to do...We have to change this idea that women are not only supposed to work in the house...but she also has the ability to go outside and do business, to be a doctor, to be a teacher, to be an engineer, she should be allowed to have any job she likes. She should be treated equally, as men are.

We have to change this idea that women are only supposed to work in the house... Women should go out and be what they want

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.

I don't want awards, I want my daughter. I wouldn't exchange a single eyelash of my daughter for the whole world.

For my brothers it was easy to think about the future. They can be anything they want. But for me it was hard and for that reason I wanted to become educated and empower myself with knowledge.

My dream is to empower myself with education, and then it is a weapon.

Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow." Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.
