Women have the same rights as men.

If a man can go to school, if a boy[br]can go to school, why can't a girl?

0:00:12.410,0:00:13.780
If I don't go to school

0:00:13.780,0:00:17.530
then I would be obeying [br]my brother and my father,

0:00:17.530,0:00:19.340
I would be washing clothes every day,

0:00:19.340,0:00:20.558
and then I would marry,

0:00:20.558,0:00:22.518
then I would be taking care of children,

0:00:22.518,0:00:24.030
and my life would finish.

0:00:24.640,0:00:27.499
Those people who stop us [br]from getting education,

0:00:28.509,0:00:31.740
they are afraid of educated [br]and powerful women.

0:00:34.220,0:00:36.340
There was a correspondent of BBC,

0:00:36.520,0:00:38.060
and he asked my father,

0:00:38.060,0:00:40.689
"I want someone from Swat[br]who can speak to me,

0:00:40.689,0:00:42.790
and who can tell me [br]what's happening there".

0:00:43.180,0:00:45.090
So I started blogging for BBC.

0:00:45.090,0:00:47.760
I used to talk to him [br]on the phone every night.

0:00:48.880,0:00:52.840
We all wanted education, [br]but so many people were silent

0:00:52.840,0:00:56.192
because they were afraid of Taliban -[br]they were afraid of death.

0:00:58.080,0:01:00.691
But the courage defeated that fear.

0:01:02.101,0:01:03.686
That is why I spoke.

0:01:03.816,0:01:05.483
I was not waiting for someone else.

0:01:05.983,0:01:07.290
I did it by myself.

0:01:10.310,0:01:12.055
At 12 o'clock, I think so,

0:01:12.055,0:01:14.080
we were just sitting in our school bus,

0:01:14.080,0:01:17.400
and as I asked my driver, [br]"Can you do the magic tricks?"

0:01:17.400,0:01:19.590
and he was just hiding [br]a stone in his hand,

0:01:19.590,0:01:21.230
and we had to find it.

0:01:21.580,0:01:24.699
And I don't know I just opened my eyes [br]and I was in the hospital.

0:01:28.021,0:01:29.750
I knew that I was shot,

0:01:29.750,0:01:33.867
and the first thing I did was [br]I thanked God that I am alive.

0:01:36.537,0:01:39.190
In my country Pakistan[br]and all over the world,

0:01:39.960,0:01:42.920
girls raised the slogan of "I am Malala."

0:01:43.806,0:01:45.757
That is their voice for education,

0:01:46.337,0:01:49.590
and they raised their voice [br]against terrorism.

0:01:50.330,0:01:51.778
It is an honor for me

0:01:51.778,0:01:57.300
because I need more and more girls[br]and women, and more and more boys

0:01:57.990,0:02:00.710
to support me in my[br]campaign for education.

0:02:02.609,0:02:05.439
[In 2014, Malala won[br]the Nobel Peace prize.]

0:02:06.149,0:02:08.600
The Taliban shot me, they thought

0:02:09.698,0:02:13.570
that the other girls who are speaking[br]for their rights would also stop.

0:02:15.050,0:02:18.910
They thought they would[br]spread fear, terror,

0:02:19.810,0:02:20.850
but they failed.

0:02:22.300,0:02:25.730
I believe that if you are[br]sincere to your own heart

0:02:25.730,0:02:27.170
then you can do anything.

0:02:27.170,0:02:29.729
And I can do anything
