(birds chirping)
(music)
I was named after a girl.
(music)
An Afghani folk hero
who was killed in a battle.
Just after I was born, my father got our family tree.
It went back 300 years.
But not a single girl or woman's name appeared on it.
He decided to make me the first.
He wrote Malala.
That's me.
When her father's school was closed down
by the Taliban,
Malala Yousafzai began to campaign
for the right of girls across the country to go to school.
I have rights, I have the right of education,
I have the right to play,
I have the right to sing, to talk,
I have the right to go to the market
I have the right to speak up.
(music)
(gunshot sound)
They shot her in the head.
She is still in critical condition.
(music)
She was airlifted to a military hospital
in Peshawar, where she had surgery.
A surgeon's battle to safe her life.
(music)
Vigils took place throughout the world.
(music)
In this first foto released today,
Malala's eyes are open.
We have some really good news to report.
Malala Yousafzai walked out of a London hospital today.
(music)
Today,
it is an honour for me
to be speaking again
after a long time.
(music)
They thought that the bullet
would silence us.
(music)
But they failed.
(music)
My message right now is to young people.
We are living in a world where
things are not the way we want.
We are getting a system, we are getting a world
which is unequal, sexist, racist.
We have systems that are discriminating against people.
Our climate, our enviroment is at risk.
And there's so much that needs to be done
But, I hope that
young people stand up, raise their voices,
they start their activism right now.
Let your age not stop you.
Oftentimes we are told that
you have to be 40 and 50 to change the world.
I do not believe in that.
I think you can be a change maker right now.
If you are 11, 16; if you are 30, 40.
Change is possible anytime.
And I want you to believe in yourself
and make this world fairer, more equal,
and a better place for each and every one.
(music)
And once again, there are positive solutions
that can turn things around fast.
(music)
We need more women in positions of power.
At every level of government.
The time has come for quotas that make sure
women are equally represented
in every country.
It's time make our laws equal,
so that every woman is entitled to a job
and a national identification card,
and to own property.
(music)
Women must be able to live free from violance
and have the right to make decisions over their bodies and lives,
especially in choosing if and when they marry.
We must guarantee full access
to sexual and reproductive health services and rights.
We must provide the money to close the gap in girls' education.
And there are important changes needed
to achieve economic empowerment for women.
From equal access to finance,
to ending the gender pay gap,
to equal access to the digital world.
From mobile bank accounts,
to digital payment systems and digital education.
