When we imagine the power of all our sisters standing together on the shoulders of a quality education - our joy knows no bounds.

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

Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potential

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

I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill, but a pen can give life.

Peace in every home, every street, every village, every country - this is my dream. Education for every boy and every girl in the world. To sit down on a chair and read my books with all my friends at school is my right. To see each and every human being with a smile of happiness is my wish.

It is not time to tell the leaders to realize how important education is - they already know it - their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action.
