Let us pick up our books and pencils. They are our most powerful weapon.

I don't want revenge on the Taliban, I want education for sons and daughters of the Taliban.

So today, we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favor of peace and prosperity. We call upon the world leaders that all of these deals must protect women and children’s rights. A deal that goes against the rights of women is unacceptable.

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

The Taliban should keep it in mind that one of us has to die one day. And if I die early, it does not matter. I will continue my campaign and I'm going back to Pakistan as soon as possible. And I want to be a politician. And, through politics, I am going to serve my mission, and I'm going to work for education for every child.

You should believe in your talent and potential. Never lose hope.

When someone takes away your pens you realise quite how important education is.
