A girl has the power to go forward in her life. And she's not only a mother, she's not only a sister, she's not only a wife. But a girl has the - she should have an identity. She should be recognized and she has equal rights as a boy.

I have a new dream I must be a politician to save this country. There are so many crises in our country. I want to remove these crises.

I am not here to speak against the Taliban. I'm here to speak up for the right of every child.

I believe in the power of the voice of women.

I think everyone makes a mistake at least once in their life. The important thing is what you learn from it. That's why I have problems with our Pashtunwali code.
