-
I was named after a girl.
-
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 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 girl's 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 is playing)
-
(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.
-
Vigils took place throughout the world.
-
In this first foto released today,
-
Malala's eyes are open.
-
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 silence 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 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 everyone.
-
And once again,
-
there are positive solutions
-
that can turn things around fast.
-
We need more women in positions of power.
-
At every level of government.
-
The time has come for
-
quoters that make sure that 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.
-
Women must 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 girl's 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 education.
