We call upon all communities to be tolerant, to reject prejudice based on caste, creed, sect, colour, religion or agenda to ensure freedom and equality for women so they can flourish. We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.

I thought that words and books and pens were more powerful than guns.

If a woman can go to the beach and wear nothing, then why can't she also wear everything?

Let us pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

Education is the power terrorists fear most.

Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.

Education is the only solution. Education first.
