Thank you very much that I First Pakistani And the first Pakistani Me First Pakistani And the first Pakistani Him They look (there) Many Great partner Me I see Kim's sisters, but I'm still working further on his brothers. I am one of the two institutions, and when I know along with those values, I know along with Kailash Satyarthi. A city perfect for children's health is emerging. When I was granted permission, the first thing I reached was that I too have more authority. I feel that we have lost the sense of working together. We have lost the sense of working together, and when we show the world. That they have worked together, some from the military and some from Pakistan, and I keep asking in my own way. They can establish relationships, my child and the best one, I and Athar Malaliya became close after the tension cleared up.

If someone is aware of a person's data The behavior towards the other spiritual beings Who wants to see your health? Awareness Those who stole the girls' loot And it is the work of trust. This is with my permission. When I was 17 years old, I arrived. There I am I have always loved learning and discovering new things. I remember when my friends and I would decorate our hands with henna on special occasions. And instead of drawing flowers and patterns, we would paint our hands with mathematics. formulas and equations We had a strong desire for education. We had a thirst for education because our future was right there in that classroom. We would sit and learn and read together. We loved to wear neat and tidy school uniforms, and we would sit there with big dreams in our hearts. our eyes We wanted to make our parents proud and prove that we could also excel in our studies. and achieve those goals that some people believe only boys can accomplish. But things did not remain the same. When I was in Swat, which was a place of tourism and beauty, suddenly turned into a place of terrorism I was just ten years old when more than 400 schools were destroyed. Women were whipped, people were killed, and our beautiful dreams turned into nightmares. Education went from being a right to becoming a crime. Girls were prevented from attending school. We could not simply stand by and witness those injustices committed by the terrorists, denying us rights, ruthlessly killing people and misusing the name of Islam. We decided to raise our voice and tell them, have you not learned that in the Holy Quran? Allah says, if you kill one person, it is as if you have killed all of humanity. Do you not know that Muhammad, peace be upon him, the Prophet of Mercy, says, do not harm yourself or others. And do you not know that the very first word of the Holy Quran is the word Iqra, which means read. The terrorists tried to stop us and attacked me and my friends who are here today with us school bus in 2012 But neither their ideas nor their bullets could prevail. We survived. And since that day, our voices have grown louder and louder. I tell my story not because it is unique, but because it is not. It is the story of many girls. Today, I tell their stories as well. I have brought some of my sisters with me from Pakistan, from Nigeria, and from Syria. Who shares this story? My brave sisters, Shazia and Kainat, who were also shot that day on our school bus, But they have not stopped learning. And my brave sister, Kainat Somro, who endured severe abuse and extreme violence. Even her brother was killed, but she did not give in. Also my sisters here, whom I have met during my Malala Fund campaign. My 16-year-old courageous sister, Mauzoon, from Syria, who now lives in Jordan as a refugee And she goes from tent to tent, encouraging girls and boys to learn. And my sister Amina, from northern Nigeria, where Boko Haram threatens and obstructs girls, and even kidnaps girls just for wanting to go to school. Though I appear as one girl, one person, who is five feet two inches tall, if you My high heels make me five feet tall. I am not a solitary voice. I am many. I am Malala, but I am also Shazia, I am Kainat, I am Kainat Somro, I am Mauzoon, I am Amina. I am one of the 66 million girls who are deprived of education. And today, I am not raising my voice. It is the voice of those 66 million girls. Sometimes people like to ask me, why should girls go to school? Why is it important to them? But I think the more important question is, why shouldn't they? Why shouldn't they have the right to go to school? Dear brothers and sisters, today, in half of the world, we witness rapid progress and development. However, there are many countries where millions still suffer from the very old problems of war, poverty, and injustice. We still see conflicts in which innocent people lose their lives and children become victims. orphans We see many people becoming refugees in Syria, Gaza, and Iraq. In Afghanistan, we see families being killed in suicide attacks and bomb blasts. Many children in Africa do not have access to education due to poverty. And as I said, we still see girls who have no freedom to go to school in the north of Nigeria. Many children in countries like Pakistan and India, as Kailash Satyarthi mentioned, many Children, especially in India and Pakistan, are deprived of their right to education. due to social taboos, or they have been forced into child marriage or into child labor labor One of my very good school friends, the same age as me, who has always been bold and Confident girl, dreamed of becoming a doctor. But her dream remained a dream. At the age of 12, she was forced to get married. And soon after, she had a son. She had a child when she was still a child herself, only 14. I know she could have become a very good doctor. But she couldn't, because she was a girl. Her story is why I dedicate the Nobel Peace Prize money to the Malala Fund, to help give girls around the world the chance to go to school and fulfill their potential. girls' quality education everywhere, anytime around the world, and to raise their voices. The first place this funding will go is where my heart is—to build schools in Pakistan. especially in my hometown of Swat and Shangla. In my own village, there is still no secondary school for girls. And it is my wish, my commitment, and now my challenge, to build one, so that my My friends and my sisters can go there to school and receive a quality education, and they get this. an opportunity to fulfill their dreams. This is where I will begin, but it is not where I will stop. I will continue this fight until I see every child, every child in school. Dear brothers and sisters, great people who brought about change, such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and Aung San Suu Kyi once stood here on this stage. I hope the steps that Kailash Satyarthi and I have taken so far, and will take on this Journey, will also bring change, lasting change. My greatest hope is that this will be the last time, that this will be the last time we must Fight for education. Let's settle this once and for all. We have already taken many steps. Now it is time to take a leap. It is not yet time to tell world leaders to realize how important education is. They already know it. Their own children are in good schools. Now is the time to call them to take action for the world's children. We urge world leaders to unite and make education their top priority. Fifteen years ago, world leaders agreed upon a set of global goals. The Millennium Development Goals. In the years that have followed, we have seen some progress. The number of children out of school has been halved, as Kailash Satyarthi said. However, the world focused solely on primary education, and progress did not reach everyone. In the year 2015, representatives from all around the world will meet at the United Nations. to set the next set of goals, the Sustainable Development Goals. This will set the world's ambition for the next generations. The world can no longer accept that basic education is sufficient. Why do leaders accept that for children in developing countries, only basic literacy is sufficient when it comes to their own children Do homework in algebra, mathematics, science, and physics? Leaders must seize this opportunity to ensure a free, high-quality primary education. and secondary education for every child. Some will say this is impractical, or too expensive, or too difficult, or perhaps even impossible. But it is time the world thinks bigger. Dear sisters and brothers, the so-called adult world may understand it, but we children do not. Why is it that countries we refer to as strong are so powerful in instigating wars? but so weak in bringing peace? Why is it so easy to give guns, but so difficult to give books? Why is it that making tanks is so easy, but building schools is so hard? We are living in the modern age, and we believe that nothing is impossible. We reached the Moon 45 years ago, and perhaps we will soon land on Mars. Then, in this 21st century, we must be able to provide every child with a quality education. Dear sisters and brothers, dear fellow children, we must work, not wait. Not just the politicians and world leaders. We all need to contribute. Me, you, we. It is our duty. Let us become the first generation to choose to be the last. Let us become the first generation that chooses to be the last. that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods, and wasted potentials. Let this be the last time a girl or a boy spends their childhood in a factory. Let this be the last time a girl is forced into an early child marriage. Let this be the last time a child loses their life in war. Let this be the last time we see a child out of school. Let's end this together. Let's begin this ending together, today, right here, right now. Let's begin this ending now. Thank you so much.
