00:00:12.036 --> 00:00:13.506
I was named after a god.

00:00:15.159 --> 00:00:16.699
An Afghani folk hero

00:00:17.171 --> 00:00:18.731
who was killed in a battle.

00:00:19.653 --> 00:00:21.121
Just after I was born,

00:00:21.121 --> 00:00:23.042
my father got our family tree.

00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:25.180
It went back 300 years.

00:00:26.319 --> 00:00:29.049
But not a woman's name appeared on it.

00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:32.230
He decided to make me the first.

00:00:33.227 --> 00:00:34.617
He wrote Malala.

00:00:35.934 --> 00:00:37.274
That's me.

00:00:38.742 --> 00:00:41.832
When her father's school was closed down the Taliban

00:00:45.122 --> 00:00:46.122


00:00:49.413 --> 00:00:50.153
I have rights.

00:00:50.164 --> 00:00:51.764
I have the right of education,

00:00:51.764 --> 00:00:53.034
I have the right to play,

00:00:53.319 --> 00:00:55.209
I have the right to sing, to talk,

00:00:55.217 --> 00:00:57.007
I have the right to go to the market

00:00:57.311 --> 00:00:58.791
I have the right to <i>speak up</i>.

00:00:58.791 --> 00:01:11.411
(music is playing)

00:01:11.411 --> 00:01:12.701
(gunshot noise)

00:01:16.426 --> 00:01:17.856
They shot her in the head.

00:01:17.856 --> 00:01:19.980
She's still in critical condition.

00:01:24.789 --> 00:01:26.869
She was airlifted to a military hospital

00:01:26.869 --> 00:01:29.244
in Peshawar where she had surgery

00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:31.305
A surgeon's battle to safe her life.

00:01:39.739 --> 00:01:41.730
In this foto released today,

00:01:41.730 --> 00:01:43.528
Malala's eyes have opened.

00:01:44.275 --> 00:01:46.245
We have some really good news to report.

00:01:46.245 --> 00:01:48.102
Malala Yousafzai walked out

00:01:48.102 --> 00:01:49.828
of the London hospital today.

00:01:53.114 --> 00:01:54.844
Today,

00:01:54.844 --> 00:01:58.016
it is an honour for me

00:01:58.016 --> 00:01:59.854
to be speaking again

00:01:59.854 --> 00:02:01.244
after a long time.

00:02:04.084 --> 00:02:06.244
They thought that the bullet

00:02:06.245 --> 00:02:07.585
would silent us.

00:02:10.391 --> 00:02:11.491
But they failed.

00:02:20.558 --> 00:02:24.128
My message right now is to young people.

00:02:25.246 --> 00:02:28.276
We are living in a world where

00:02:28.276 --> 00:02:30.070
things are not the way we want.

00:02:30.070 --> 00:02:34.502
We're getting a system, a world which is

00:02:34.502 --> 00:02:37.362
unequal, sexist, racist.

00:02:37.362 --> 00:02:41.532
They are discriminating aganist people.

00:02:41.548 --> 00:02:43.689
Our climate, our enviroment is at risk.

00:02:43.689 --> 00:02:45.729
And there's so much that needs to be done

00:02:45.729 --> 00:02:47.079
But, I hope that

00:02:47.079 --> 00:02:50.664
young people stand up, raise their voices,

00:02:50.664 --> 00:02:52.782
start their activism right now.

00:02:52.782 --> 00:02:54.082
Let your age not stop you.

00:02:54.082 --> 00:02:55.876
Often times we are told that

00:02:55.877 --> 00:02:57.907
you have to be 14, 15 to change the world.

00:02:57.907 --> 00:02:59.247
I do not believe in that.

00:02:59.247 --> 00:03:01.138
I think you can be a change maker now.

00:03:01.146 --> 00:03:05.146
If you are 11, 16; if you are 30, 40.

00:03:05.146 --> 00:03:07.326
Change is possible anytime.

00:03:07.326 --> 00:03:09.711
And I want you to believe in yourself and

00:03:09.711 --> 00:03:12.191
make this world fairer, more equal and

00:03:12.191 --> 00:03:14.040
a better place for each and everyone.

00:03:16.427 --> 00:03:17.517
And once again,

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:19.472
there are positive solutions

00:03:19.472 --> 00:03:21.412
that can turn around things fast.

00:03:24.299 --> 00:03:26.839
We need more women in positions of power.

00:03:27.603 --> 00:03:29.093
At every level of government.

00:03:30.151 --> 00:03:31.421
The time has come for

00:03:31.421 --> 00:03:33.721
quoters that make sure that women are

00:03:33.721 --> 00:03:35.391
equally represented

00:03:35.391 --> 00:03:36.761
in <i>every</i> country.

00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:40.088
It's time make our laws equal.

00:03:40.088 --> 00:03:42.941
So that every woman is entitled to a job,

00:03:42.941 --> 00:03:45.545
and a national identification card

00:03:45.547 --> 00:03:47.107
and to own property.

00:03:49.135 --> 00:03:52.285
Women must live free from violance

00:03:52.285 --> 00:03:54.463
and have the right to make decisions over

00:03:54.463 --> 00:03:56.153
their bodies and lives,

00:03:56.153 --> 00:03:58.183
especially in choosing if

00:03:58.183 --> 00:03:59.613
and when they marry.

00:04:00.476 --> 00:04:02.316
We must guarantee full access to

00:04:02.316 --> 00:04:04.526
sexual and reproductive health services

00:04:04.526 --> 00:04:05.556
and rights.

00:04:06.087 --> 00:04:07.897
We must provide the money

00:04:07.901 --> 00:04:09.921
to close the gap in girl's education.

00:04:10.524 --> 00:04:12.134
And there are important changes

00:04:12.134 --> 00:04:14.004
needed to achieve economic empowerment

00:04:14.004 --> 00:04:15.054
for women.

00:04:15.531 --> 00:04:17.471
From equal access to finance,

00:04:17.767 --> 00:04:19.617
to ending the gender pay gap.
