I want to just stay focused on my mission. That is to see every girl get the right to education. And I think this is such an important thing that girls get their right to go to school, and we are losing the potential that these young girls have in this region, like Iraq.

I dreamt of a country where education would prevail.

This is what my soul is telling me: be peaceful and love everyone.

I don't cover my face because I want to show my identity.

My dream is to see every girl educated, in every country.

In In Pakistan, when we were stopped from going to school, at that time I realized that education ... Is the power for women, and that's why the terrorists are afraid of education.

I raise up my voice-not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.
