Malala Yousafzai on the Power of Education | Glamour

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    Women have the same rights as men.
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    If a man can go to school, if a boy can
    go to school, why can't a girl?
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    If I don't go to school
  • 0:14 - 0:18
    then I would be obeying
    my brother and my father,
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    I would be washing clothes every day,
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    and then I would marry,
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    then and I would be taking care
    of children, and my life would finish.
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    Those people who stop us
    from getting education,
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    they are afraid of educated
    and powerful women.
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    There was a correspondent of BBC,
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    and he asked my father,
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    "I want someone from Swat
    who can speak to me,
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    and who can tell me
    what's happening there".
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    So I started blogging for BBC.
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    I used to talk to him
    on the phone every night.
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    We all wanted education,
    but so many people were silent
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    because they were afraid of Taliban,
    they were afraid of death.
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    But the courage defeated that fear.
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    That is why I spoke.
  • 1:04 - 1:05
    I was not waiting for someone else.
  • 1:06 - 1:07
    I did it by myself.
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    At 12 o'clock I think so we just set
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    indoor school bus and has asked my
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    driver can you do the magic tricks and
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    he was hiding a stone in his hand and we
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    had to find it and I don't know I just
  • 1:23 - 1:24
    opened my eyes and I was in the hospital
  • 1:24 - 1:31
    I needed I was short and first thing I
  • 1:31 - 1:36
    did was I thank God that I am Alive in
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    my country Pakistan and all over the
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    world girls raised a slogan of I am
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    Malala there is their voice for
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    education and they raised their voice
  • 1:48 - 1:52
    against terrorism it is an honor for me
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    because I need more and more girls and
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    women and more and more boys to support
  • 1:58 - 2:03
    me in my campaign for education
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    the Taliban shot me they thought that
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    the other girls are speaking for the
  • 2:12 - 2:17
    rights law so stop they thought they
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    will spread fear terror but they failed
  • 2:21 - 2:25
    I believe that if you are sincere to
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    your own heart then you can do anything
  • 2:27 - 2:31
    and I can do anything
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    you
