The best way to fight terrorism is to invest in education. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers.
I don't cover my face because I want to show my identity.
I think that the best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue. For me the best way to fight against terrorism and extremism... just a simple thing: educate the next generation.
They will not stop me, I will get my education, if it is in home, school or any place
Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality.
Let us pick up our books and our pens,” I said. “They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.
They are afraid of educated women. They are afraid of the power of knowledge.
The extremists are afraid of books and pens, the power of education frightens them. they are afraid of women.
Education is the only solution. Education first.
You must fight others, but through peace, and through dialogue, and through education.
Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.
I raise up my voice-not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.
And if we want to achieve our goal, then let us empower ourselves with the weapon of knowledge and let us shield ourselves with unity and togetherness.
I speak not for myself but for those without voice... those who have fought for their rights... their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated.
