(birds chirping)
-
(music)
-
I was named after a girl.
-
(music)
-
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 single girl
or 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 girls
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)

(music)
-
(gunshot sound)
-
They shot her in the head.
-
She is still in critical condition.
-
(music)
-
She was airlifted to a military hospital
-
in Peshawar, where she had surgery.
-
A surgeon's battle to safe her life.
-
(music)
-
Vigils took place throughout the world.
-
(music)
-
In this first foto released today,
-
Malala's eyes are open.
-
We have some really good news to report.
-
Malala Yousafzai walked out
of a London hospital today.
-
(music)
-
Today,
-
it is an honour for me
-
to be speaking again
-
after a long time.
-
(music)
-
They thought that the bullet
-
would silence us.
-
(music)
-
But they failed.
-
(music)
-
My message right now is to young people.
-
We are living in a world where
-
things are not the way we want.
-
We are getting a system,
we are getting a world
-
which is unequal, sexist, racist.
-
We have systems
that are discriminating against 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,
-
they start their activism right now.
-
Let your age not stop you.
-
Oftentimes we are told that
-
you have to be 40 and 50
to change the world.
-
I do not believe in that.
-
I think you can be a change maker right 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 every one.
-
(music)
-
And once again,
there are positive solutions
-
that can turn things around fast.
-
(music)
-
We need more women in positions of power.
-
At every level of government.
-
The time has come
for quotas that make sure
-
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.
-
(music)
-
Women must be able
to 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 girls' 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 digital education.
