My goal is to get peace and my goal is to see education of every child.

In countries other than Pakistan - I won't necessarily call them 'Western' - people support me. This is because people there respect others. They don't do this because I am a Pashtun or a Punjabi, a Pakistani, or an Iranian, they do it because of one's words and character. This is why I am being respected and supported there.

So today, we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favor of peace and prosperity. We call upon the world leaders that all of these deals must protect women and children’s rights. A deal that goes against the rights of women is unacceptable.

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 truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.

read thousands of books and I will power myself with knowledge. Pens and books are the weapons that defeat terrorism.

Why is it, that giving guns is so easy, but giving books is so hard?
