00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:03.460
Women have the same rights as men.

00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:07.247
If a man can go to school, if a boy
can go to school, why can't a girl?

00:00:07.381 --> 00:00:09.141
[Malala Yousafzai]

00:00:09.738 --> 00:00:11.998
[The Girls' hero
Woman of the year, 2013]

00:00:12.410 --> 00:00:13.780
If I don't go to school

00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:17.530
then I would be obeying 
my brother and my father,

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

00:00:19.340 --> 00:00:20.558
and then I would marry,

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

00:00:22.518 --> 00:00:24.030
and my life would finish.

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.499
Those people who stop us 
from getting education,

00:00:28.509 --> 00:00:31.740
they are afraid of educated 
and powerful women.

00:00:34.220 --> 00:00:36.340
There was a correspondent of BBC,

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.060
and he asked my father,

00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:40.689
"I want someone from Swat
who can speak to me,

00:00:40.689 --> 00:00:42.790
and who can tell me 
what's happening there".

00:00:43.180 --> 00:00:45.090
So I started blogging for BBC.

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:47.760
I used to talk to him 
on the phone every night.

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.840
We all wanted education, 
but so many people were silent

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.192
because they were afraid of Taliban -
they were afraid of death.

00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.691
But the courage defeated that fear.

00:01:02.101 --> 00:01:03.686
That is why I spoke.

00:01:03.816 --> 00:01:05.483
I was not waiting for someone else.

00:01:05.983 --> 00:01:07.290
I did it by myself.

00:01:07.810 --> 00:01:09.690
[October 9, 2012]

00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:12.055
At 12 o'clock, I think so,

00:01:12.055 --> 00:01:14.080
we were just sitting in our school bus,

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:17.400
and as I asked my driver, 
"Can you do the magic tricks?"

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.590
and he was just hiding 
a stone in his hand,

00:01:19.590 --> 00:01:21.230
and we had to find it.

00:01:21.580 --> 00:01:24.699
And I don't know I just opened my eyes 
and I was in the hospital.

00:01:28.021 --> 00:01:29.750
I knew that I was shot,

00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:33.867
and the first thing I did was 
I thanked God that I am alive.

00:01:36.537 --> 00:01:39.190
In my country Pakistan
and all over the world,

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:42.920
girls raised the slogan of "I am Malala."

00:01:43.806 --> 00:01:45.757
That is their voice for education,

00:01:46.337 --> 00:01:49.590
and they raised their voice 
against terrorism.

00:01:50.330 --> 00:01:51.778
It is an honor for me

00:01:51.778 --> 00:01:57.300
because I need more and more girls
and women, and more and more boys

00:01:57.990 --> 00:02:00.710
to support me in my
campaign for education.

00:02:02.609 --> 00:02:05.439
[In 2014, Malala won
the Nobel Peace prize.]

00:02:06.149 --> 00:02:08.600
The Taliban shot me, they thought

00:02:09.698 --> 00:02:13.570
that the other girls who are speaking
for their rights would also stop.

00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:18.910
They thought they would
spread fear, terror,

00:02:19.810 --> 00:02:20.850
but they failed.

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:25.730
I believe that if you are
sincere to your own heart

00:02:25.730 --> 00:02:27.170
then you can do anything.

00:02:27.170 --> 00:02:29.729
And I can do anything
