Usando um chador que pertenceu a Benazir Bhutto, primeira-ministra paquistanesa assassinada em 2007, Malala falou de terrorismo, de pobreza e pediu educação universal para todas as crianças do mundo.
Recém-chegada de uma missão humanitária, Flight of Hope 2013, que distribuiu 2,3 toneladas de material escolar e desportivo por crianças africanas, foi com emoção e alegria que escutei as palavras de Malala. Registei estas frases de Malala, no meu livro de citações:
"'Malala Day' is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights."
"One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education first."
"We realized the importance of pens and books when we saw the guns. The extremists are afraid of books and pens."
"[Extremists] are afraid of women, change and equality."
"We realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced."
“We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back."
"There was a time when women social activists asked men to stand up for their rights, but this time we will do it by ourselves."
