I told myself, Malala, you have already faced death. This is your second life. Don't be afraid — if you are afraid, you can't move forward.

I want to serve. I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated.

Malala Day is not my day. It is the day of every girl and every boy. It is a day when we come together to raise our voices, so that those without a voice can be heard.

I had 2 choices, be silent and get killed, or speak up and be killed, I chose the second option.

In the future, women, rather than men, will be the ones to change the world.

I have the right of education. I have the right to play. I have the right to sing. I have the right to talk. I have the right to go to market. I have the right to speak up.

There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color or religion.
