This is the philosophy of nonviolence that I have learned from Gandhi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa.

I don't mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I'm afraid of no one.

Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected.

My dream is to empower myself with education, and then it is a weapon.

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.

We have to change this idea that women are only supposed to work in the house... Women should go out and be what they want

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