The Road to Gender Equality - Malala’s story | Nations United

Just after I was born,

my father got our family tree.

It went back 300 years.

But not a 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 the Taliban

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.

(gunshot noise)

They shot her in the head.

She's still in critical condition.

She was airlifted to a military hospital

in Peshawar where she had surgery

A surgeon's battle to safe her life.

In this foto released today,

Malala's eyes have opened.

We have some really good news to report.

Malala Yousafzai walked out

of the London hospital today.

Today,

it is an honour for me

to be speaking again

after a long time.

They thought that the bullet

would silent us.

But they failed.

My message right now is to young people.

We are living in a world where

things are not the way we want.

We're getting a system, a world which is

unequal, sexist, racist.

They are discriminating aganist 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,

start their activism right now.

Let your age not stop you.

Often times we are told that

you have to be 14, 15 to change the world.

I do not believe in that.

I think you can be a change maker,

right now.
