If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?

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

Pakistan is a peace loving, democratic country. Pashtuns want education for their daughters and sons. Islam is a religion of peace, humanity and brotherhood.

Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.

And also I didn't want my future to be just sitting in a room and be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth to children. I didn't want to see my life in that way.

Once I had asked God for one or two extra inches in height, but instead he made me as tall as the sky, so high that I could not measure myself.

Extremists have shown what frightens them most. A girl with a book.
