In Islam, it is not just your right, but your responsibility to get education.

The important thing to note is that it is not important whether Malala was shot or not - Malala is not asking for personal favors or support. She is asking for support with girls' education and women's rights. So don't support Malala, support her campaign for girls' education and women's rights.

I don't want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up.

We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced

I don't want to be thought of as the 'girl who was shot by the Taliban' but the 'girl who fought for education. This is the cause to which I want to devote my life.

We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.

There are many problems, but I think there is a solution to all these problems, it's just one and it's education. You educate all the girls and boys. You give them the opportunity to learn.
