So,
we all settled? We all good?

Pull it up one more time.

Yeah, sure.

Okay, so...
Tell me that story.

Okay.

Before l was born...

when l was in the tummy
of my mother...

my father would always
say a tappa, a Pashtun story.

If you look
at the world map...

on the east side, you can find
a country called Afghanistan.

Long ago, it had a fight
with another country

called England.

The Afghan people,
they were losing hope.

And a teenager
saw the fighters running away.

She goes up to the mountain.

She raised her voice.

Which simply means...

it is better to live
like a lion for one day...

than to live like a slave
for a hundred years.

She encouraged the people
of Afghanistan.

She led the army
to a great victory.

But she was shot...

and she died
on that battlefield.

Her name was Malalai.

When l was in coma,
l had these terrible dreams.

And l was thinking
that l was dead.

Lying near death...

A 15-year-old was shot

for standing up
to the Taliban.

Tonight, Malala
remains in intensive care.

She was shot
in the head by the Taliban...

for daring to suggest
girls should go to school.

Now millions
around the world

are watching to see...

if she will die for her cause.

When l opened
my eyes...

l did not know where l was.

I realized
that this is not my country.

And l thought, "No one knows
what's my name."

l saw nurses and doctors.

When she first woke up,

her first question was...

"Where's my father?"

We were thinking,

"What Malala
will be thinking?"

"l was a child.
You should have stopped me."

"What has happened to me
is because of you."

lt is an honor for me
to be speaking again...

Come, Malala, come!
What is the problem?

I Iost my shoes.

It's okay.

Don't make tea Iike this, Dad.

How?

I don't Iike it Iike this.

It's okay, try it.

AtaI Khan Yousafzai,

I'm waiting for you
to take breakfast.

This is
my youngest brother.

He's a reaIIy good boy.
He has a Iot of energy.

He wouId demand us that,

"Oh, I want to pIay goIf,
and I want to"...

This is the Iaziest one.

You see?
Look at the first impression!

One, two, three. Start.

His name is
KhushaI Khan Yousafzai, and...

and he's a okay boy.

Wait, wait, wait!

You don't get to
use two hands.

This is MaIaIa Yousafzai.

She's the naughtiest girI
on the earth.

One, two, three, go.

It's not fair.

Come on, then.

No!

KhushaI!

You are somebody's son!

PeopIe think
that she is reaIIy kind

and she speaks
for peopIe's rights...

but that's not true.

In home, she is so vioIent.

I'm not vioIent!

I wouId request my brother...

not to say any bad thing
about me.

He shouId onIy praise me.

I pIay with them,
I fight with them.

I get a IittIe bit naughty,
but that's fine.

That's my right.

She's a IittIe bit naughty.
That much.

What does she do?

She just sIaps me every time
when I meet her.

When I come from schooI.

When my brother's fighting
with me,

you come and rescue me.

When I go to your room,
you sIap me there as weII!

That's
kind of confusing.

Save me from one
and hit me in the other one.

He's saying I beat KhushaI
and then I protect AtaI...

but when I take him
to my room,

then I myseIf give him a sIap.

- She sIap on my...
- It's out of Iove.

It's just for Iove.

It is not a Iove!

It is a sign of Iove.
It's a sign of...

- how much I Iove you and...
- Compassion.

How sweet and cute
you are for me.

That's why I give you a sIap
on your face.

When you Iaugh,
do you get any pain down here?

- No.
- Okay.

This pIace is tight. This one.

These ones.

- Say "speciaI".
- SpeciaI.

- Now say "feeI."
- FeeI.

- "Freddy."
- Freddy.

No pain when
you stretch it Iike that?

Mmm-hmm.

There it feeIs
a IittIe bit tight.

The nerve doesn't seem to
stimuIate this muscIe?

That's unIikeIy to come back.
The damage was too severe.

I don't know where the
voice is coming from.

It's okay. Look there.

When l was in Pakistan,

it was a different world
for me.

Here, l have just spent
one year only.

I don't really understand
this new society

and these new rules.

Oh, dear! It's a dog!

Sorry, MaIaIa.

- You aII right?
- It's fine.

I want people to learn
from the experience l had...

and the story of my life.

They want you aIone,
so Iook there, and then there.

So, the name of the show
is The Daily Show?

- Very nice to see you.
- Nice to see you.

Okay, straight.

The Queen of England
has invited you to the Palace.

With
all these public appearances,

do you have any semblance
of a normal life?

Take a deep breath.
Just reIax your hands.

Look to this side.

No, you're good. Thank you.
You're very good.

- Which camera now?
- WeII...

I'm done.

We couldn't go to market,

we were not allowed
to go to school.

And that's why l spoke,

because l believe
in equality...

and l believe
that there is no difference

between a man and a woman.

I even believe that a woman
is more powerful than men.

What? Wait.

You shouId teach me
how to use the Twitter. Hmm?

It's your next tweet.

No, you didn't find it.

Yeah, I have it.

Do you want
to write something with it?

Mmm...

No, it's okay.
It's seIf-expIanatory.

Just send a Iink to aII,
to everybody.

Let me see your Facebook.

Why don't I know
how to tweet yet?

This is very bad.

Tweeted.

- It's tweeted?
- Mmm-hmm.

Papa, Iook down.

When she was very small,

many friends used to come
to our home.

We used to talk
about politics,

we used to talk
about the basic rights...

and she used to sit with us.

When l was young,
l used to listen to him.

Like, what is he saying,
how he talks.

We became dependent
on each other.

Like one soul
in two different bodies.

Who wouId you have been if
you were just an ordinary girI

from the Swat VaIIey?

If I was an ordinary girI
in Swat VaIIey...

I'm stiII an ordinary girI.

But if I had
an ordinary father

and an ordinary mother...

and a conservative famiIy...

then I wouId have
two chiIdren now.

So this wouId have been
my future.

You wouId have seen MaIaIa
sitting with her two babies.

You named her
after a girI who spoke out...

and was kiIIed
for speaking out.

It's aImost as if you said...

"She will be separate
from the worId,"

"she will be
an activist abroad."

"She'II be different from
all the other women"

"in Swat and Pakistan."

You are right.

It was very early
in the morning...

when the night goes,

and the morning
and the day comes.

A girl, whose mother
was helping my wife

in the delivery of the child,
came to me.

She told me,

"A child has come
to your home."

lt was a kind of attachment

from the very first moment
l saw her.

A few days after, my cousin
brought the family tree.

It traced back for 300 years.

No woman was mentioned.
Only men were there.

I took the pen, draw a line...

and wrote "Malala."

Malala,
thank you for joining us.

Thank you so much.

The Taliban have said that
if you return to Pakistan,

they will kill you.

How do you feel
about such threats?

On the one-year anniversary

of Malala 's attack...

the Taliban said
they would target her again.

Malala has often said

she wants to return
to Pakistan...

in spite of the death threats.

The bullet
hit Malala 's forehead...

shattering her skull inwards.

Fragments of bone
were driven into her brain.

The bullet
destroyed both her eardrum

and the tiny bones
within the middle ear.

My father said,
"Have you forgiven them?"

All this time,
you've never feIt angry?

No.

Not even as small as an atom,

or maybe a nucIeus
of an atom...

or maybe a proton,
or maybe a quark.

Never angry?

Never.

Islam teaches us humanity...

equality, forgiveness.

It doesn't matter for me
if my Ieft side

of my face isn't working...

or if I cannot bIink
this eye properIy.

It doesn't matter for me
if I can't smiIe properIy.

It doesn't matter that
I'm not hearing in this ear.

I can't hear.

When the Taliban came to Swat,

everyone thought
that they are good people.

Any objections will Ieave your mind.

And any questions will be answered, too.

Mullah was very charming...

very popular in the area.

He was the talk of the town.
Everybody used to discuss him.

May God end your sadness and stress.

May God give honor and respect,

even to your chiIdren.

He was called
"Radio Mullah "...

and he would give sermons
on the radio every day.

His sermons could be
heard by everyone in the town.

The most popular part of
his show came every evening...

when he would read out
people's names.

People liked to hear which
of their neighbors was sinful.

Mom, are you happy?

I Iike it here,

but it's not Iike home.

I miss Swat a Iot.

One day, I was standing by the
window Iooking at the moon,

and I cried a Iot.

I toId the moon, you're the
onIy thing that is the same,

but everything eIse here is different.

We lived
only 100 miles

from our capital, lslamabad...

but we were separated
by a great mountain pass.

And for a time,

our isolation meant
we lived in a paradise.

Life was normal,
life was happy.

I was able to go
to the streets

and play with my friends.

Play hide-and-seek
and running games.

I miss the dirty streets.

I miss the river.

I miss my friends.

In this new school,
it's quite difficult.

To be really honest...

l don't feel comfortable
when people can see my legs.

So my skirt is longer
than most of the girls'.

And then, my Iife is quite
different than their Iife.

Most of them have boyfriends.

Most of them have broke up
with some of the boyfriends

and found new ones.

It's quite difficuIt
to tell girIs who really I am.

I don't know whether
they would like me,

or whether
they're interested in me.

In Kenya, there are so many
girls who cannot go to school.

This schooI starts from grade nine.

Grade nine?
Up to which grade?

Up to grade 12,

but, because we are still new, we onIy
have grade 9 and 10.

I Iived in this country.

I was born in this country
called Pakistan...

I was born in Swat Valley.

There are more than
180 million peopIe.

Most of them are youth.

So, who wants to
become a doctor?

You want to.

The crops that you are growing?

The number one is wheat.

Number two is rice.

Number three is maize.

Who wants to study history?

That's great.

The Iargest mountain?

It's called K2.

The Iongest river?

It comes through these valleys

and goes down, down, down,
and through Sindh.

What do you want to be?

I'd Iike to become a Iawyer.

- On this side?
- Yeah.

The girIs whose mother
or father is educated,

they shouId raise up
their hands.

I loved education.
I loved to be a teacher.

I started my own school...

just with $150.

We hired a small building.

I was the sweeper.

I was the manager.

I was the headmaster.

The very first day
of my school,

l stood and l recited
the national anthem.

There were three students,
and it started.

I used to be
in school all the day.

I loved the way
teacher was speaking.

And l loved the way
the students

were listening carefully
to the teacher...

being all around with
other girls and with teachers.

I put in my student
a kind of rebel

against traditions, customs...

and how to raise their voice.

I could not
even speak properly, but...

in my own language

l would try to give lectures
to the empty classrooms.

School was my home.

Moniba was here and then
I was sitting next to her.

Here was I.

And here was Shazia,
and here was Kainat.

The Talib came here...

and I was just
very near to him...

and then he asked,
"Who is MaIaIa?"

This is an easy one.

Remember the symboIs and numbers.

So you mean these signs
in the middIe here?

And then remember the number, too.

Okay, choose a card
in all these cards

and then remember it.

You have to take it out, okay?

Now see my tricks.

This is your card.

How do you do this?

The next two bullets
hit Shazia and Kainat.

Where did the bullet hit you?

This right arm. Here.

This is the inside,
and this was outside.

Two bullets hit Shazia.

And was my shouIder.

The bullet
that hit her

in her Ieft shouIder
hit Kainat.

So one bullet
hit two of them...

and one bullet went through
the hand of Shazia.

No other reIigion gives more rights to
women. The Surah An-Nisaa...

is compIeteIy dedicated to women.

A mother has her rights, a sister has her
rights, a daughter has her rights.

Mullah Fazlullah
might be

the first person
in our history...

to talk directly
to women in Swat.

He was a Pashto speaker...

and he talked to people
in their own language.

Sometimes
he would say,

"Men, go outside now.
I'm talking to the women."

At first, he wouId say
good things on the radio.

There wouId be IsIam in our country,

and everything wouId be done
according to the Qur'an.

We were pretty happy about that.

The book of God AImighty

is unIike any other book.

He took them
into confidence.

He used to taIk to women
about their issues directIy.

Dear sisters, don't be
fooIed by superstitions.

You see,
our women are illiterate...

ignorant from all other kind
of information.

When all other windows
are closed...

and the onIy window
that is open to their mind

that is FazIullah's window...

uItimateIy that man
will have an effect on them.

Like many women
from Swat,

my mother used to cover
her face.

Not for religion,
but for tradition.

Now in the U.K.,
she does not cover her face.

She only covers her hair.

Is my hair covered?

Yes, it's covered.

Sometimes she says,
"Don't shake hand with men."

"Look down. Don't look at men.
It's a shame."

And l said,
"lf men can look at me,"

"why can't l look at them?"

She told me many times...

"Cover your face because"

"people would think
you are not a nice girl."

But covering my face
was something that...

made me feel like l was just
hiding my identity, who l was.

So, which way is the house?

I don't know. All the houses
are the same over here.

I think she's not
independent or free...

because she's not educated.

What are
those yellow Post-its?

I want to
increase my vocabuIary...

because now I'm Iiving
in an EngIish society...

and I want to have
good vocabuIary.

I see "cat burgIar."

Why do you care about
the word "cat burgIar"?

Because
I know what's a cat,

but I didn't know
what's a burgIar.

So I have written...

a thief
who enters a buiIding...

"by cIimbing to
an upper story."

School is quite complicated.

It's really hard to find way.

So there are blue stairs,
red stairs, green stairs.

It's good
that they colored it,

otherwise I wouId have been
Iost in my schooI.

She does all
of her homework all the day.

From 5:00 untiI 11:00 or 1:00,
she does all her homework.

Why?

I don't know.

I award you

the honorary degree
of Master of Arts.

I think she's addicted
to books. That's all I know.

It's a terrible problem.

Yeah.
No, not really.

In Swat,
l was considered to be

the top girl in the class.

Getting high marks,
good behavior.

Nice to teachers,
intelligent...

Here, it's hard.
It's really difficult.

I'm telling you it's different here.

Here I'm not smart at all.

She's not going to
take questions this morning.

AIthough she is a profoundIy
infIuentiaI worId Ieader...

she's aIso doing her GCSEs.

Some peopIe think, "MaIaIa
is Iucky, she's now with..."

"Hillary Clinton,
she's with Bono,"

"she's with rock stars."

But on the other side,
I get homework as well.

Rock stars
don't need to do homework.

I think rock stars are Iucky.

When l told my school

l wouldn't be at school
for one week...

the teachers gave me
extra homework.

Shall I show you my tests
and how much marks do I get?

Yeah, show me.

It's really embarrassing.

This is the bioIogy test.
I got 73%.

I'm good
in the first questions,

which is all about hormones.

My name's MaIaIa.

Is it true
that when you spoke

with President Obama...

you talked about your concern

that drone attacks
are fuelling terrorism?

Yes, of course.

Because I missed that Iesson,

I got onIy 1% in this question
out of four.

This is unfortunateIy Physics.

What did you get?

In Physics,
I got 61%.

So what do the girls do

if they don't go to schooI?

They cIean dishes...

They buy things
for other peopIe.

I don't really know.

They cIean dishes
and they do their stuff.

What's so wrong with that?

I don't really know,
but it's bad.

My mother,
she was very beautiful.

Green eyes, maroon color hair,
fair skin.

When she was five,

she was admitted to school
by my grandfather.

She was the only girl
in her class.

She realized
that all her female cousins

were not going to school.

They were playing
in the fields.

At that time,

when you sold something,

in return
you would either get food...

you would either
get corn and flour.

She got candies.

Nobody asked her,
"Where are your books?"

"Why are you not
going to school?"

That was the end
of her education.

We have directed the music
and video stores

not to sell vuIgar
photos, music, and CDs.

They used to go
from town to town...

and they used to make a heap

of all the computers,
TVs, CDs...

and burned them on fire.

We are not against advancement,
we are against shameIessness and vuIgarity.

The smoke
used to reach to the clouds.

They did not want us
to watch the television.

And if they heard it, ever,

they wouId come
into your house by force...

they would take your TV

and they would burn
your television.

PIease can you put the banana
on the pIate.

On the pIate?

Yes.

PIease pick up number 10.

Is your mother
happy here?

I think she is not that happy

because she doesn't
have friends.

She don't know
the Ianguage well.

But I think
she will get used to it.

My mother is like,
the best mom, l think, ever.

Maybe you have a speciaI
connection to your mother.

Yeah, she Ioves me.

I'm the favorite one.
Yeah, I'm her favorite one.

Not MaIaIa?

Quarter past...

- Seven.
- Yes.

The first time
l saw her, she was 14.

I was dark in color...

so my physical appearance
was not good in my eyes.

And l thought
that l'm not a handsome boy.

I had not beauty,
she had not education.

She saw her compIetion in me

and I saw
my compIetion in her.

Is it unusual
to have a marriage of love?

Love marriage
in America

and love marriage
in Pakistan...

are very different things.

You can't have dates,

you can't have
romantic meetings.

You onIy see someone,
she sees you...

and the next step is not
any dating or any meeting.

The next step is to tell
your father and mother,

"I want that girI."

IsIam has given us the right to
defend ourseIves.

Any poIice or soIdier that attacks
MusIims are infideIs!

In the very beginning,

Fazlullah was not violent...

but he became stronger
and stronger and stronger.

I am a seeker of knowIedge searching
for the right path.

As a MusIim, it's my duty to...

spread what I have Iearned to the pubIic,
in the name of God.

They started killing policemen

and blasting police stations.

Taliban are
a small group of people.

They think that God is a tiny,
little, conservative being.

But for us,
God is not that tiny.

God has sent us to this world
to see how would we live.

Would they choose a bad way
or a good way?

My name is Shettima Harouna.

My daughter
is Margaret Shettima.

My daughter is 17 years.
Her name is Sarah Samwell.

My daughter's name is Aisha,
she is seventeen years oId.

I'm not going to say my daughter's name
because whenever I do

I have a Iot of emotion and break down.

It's 100 days

since Boko Haram
abducted more than 200 girls.

The abduction
of the Nigerian schoolgirls

continues to dominate
the national conversation.

For three months,
parents called

for the safe return
of their daughters.

Now they hope it's the voice
of a teenager

that will make the difference.

I'm still 17.
I'm still a teenager.

What should l do?
How can l help?

Malala Yousafzai
has joined the campaign

to find Nigeria 's
missing schoolgirls.

Much-needed help
arriving with 17-year-old.

Malala Yousafzai
now in Nigeria...

bringing with her
worldwide attention.

President Jonathan
clearly hadn't expected

that Malala would be so tough
and focused.

I asked the President,
"What promises do you make?"

I met him today
and I toId him...

"You are
the eIected President."

"You need to fuIfill
your responsibiIities."

"And your responsibility
is to listen to your people."

lt is so hard to get
things done in this world.

You try, and too often
it doesn't work.

But you have to continue,
and you never give up.

Zafar AI-MuIk

Ahmad Sher Khan.

Paidur Khan and his sons,

AbduI Qahar Khan

lf somebody
said something

openly against the Taliban...

they would be warned.

Bakht JamaI...

MiaguI Jan Pacha.

Dr. Haider AIi.

We know about you.
You'll face the music.

They would go early
in the morning...

and next day
he wouId have been killed.

MaIaIa Yousafzai targeted IsIam.

So, we tried to kill her.

Who was the person
who shot Malala?

It was not a person.

It was an ideoIogy.

When l'm in a car,
looking through the window...

l like just to be silent
for a while.

Sometimes l feel
that l am in England

but it's just
for a short time.

I'm not going
to live here forever.

When l think of Swat,

l think
that it's just a story.

It's something that happened

and l can
never see Swat again.

What would happen
if you went back today?

If I wouId go back,
wouId I be shot?

Of course I wouId be.

They said, "If you come back
we're going to shoot you."

l just want to go once
just to see that house.

Just once.

Just look at it.

AtaI.

Just Iet me do something eIse.
This is boring.

She's Iooking at the pictures.

Who's that?

Shane Watson.

This is Shane Watson and he's
a really good cricket pIayer.

And there's another one
as well,

who is one of my favorites.

I think you Iike him

more than just for cricket.

No, I just Iike him
for cricket.

And I aIso Iike Shahid Afridi.

Yeah?

He's the Pakistani cricketer.

He is an amazing cricketer.
One of the best cricketers.

And he had the Iongest

and the biggest six
in history.

Oh, this one!
It's this one!

See?

He smashed it miles!

It went miIes away.

But he's
not good anymore.

He is good.

He's getting oId.
He can't even pIay.

Do you think
you couId ever ask

a boy out on a date?

My brother can tell me

that he has got
a girIfriend...

but I can't tell him
that I have got a boyfriend.

MaIaIa says
that you can have a girIfriend

but she can't have
a boyfriend.

I think she's wrong.

It's all up to her.

- Who's that?
- I have no idea.

Brad Pitt.

If there's a boy you like...

why can't you pick up
the phone and ask him,

"Let's go to a movie"?

No, it wouId be
quite embarrassing.

And the other thing is that
if my famiIy wouId know,

it wouId be
a surprise for them.

And they wouId be astonished.
"MaIaIa asked a boy?"

And there is Roger Federer.

- You Iike him?
- Yeah.

You Iike tennis
or you Iike his haircut?

I Iike his haircut.

It's aIways changing.

One of my friends,

the Taliban
stopped their car...

and showed them
the head of a slaughtered man.

They said, "lf you don't
follow the real lslam"

"that we're showing you..."

"then you can be the next
person like this man."

They were not about faith.
They were about power.

They are cruel people

who are misusing
the name of lslam.

They are the enemies of lslam.

They used to bring innocent
people to the square...

sometimes shoot them
in the square

and sometimes slaughter them
in the square.

They used to leave a note
on the body...

"lf you go against
the Taliban,"

"this could be you tomorrow."

Many people, they thought
that if they speak...

they will be killed
the very next day.

I was feeIing that if I don't
speak, I wouId be the most

sinfuI and the most guiIty man
in this worId.

As a schoolboy,
the hardest times...

were the moments when
a teacher asked me to stand

and read a passage
from a book.

Tell me about
your father's stammer.

When he taIks?

Yeah.

Mmm.

MaIaIa. MaIaIa.

One thing that
l noticed in my father...

even if he stammers
for one minute,

he will try to say that word.

He never stops.

The first time
you can just stop it.

And you can say
another word instead.

But my father never does that.

My father
was a very passionate

and emotional speaker.

A fiery speaker.

The most eloquent man
l have ever seen in my life.

He used to give sermons
in the mosque every Friday.

My father would be shouting

and speaking like just
bringing out fires.

I asked my father,

"Can you write a speech
for me?"

"Oh, look. You utter
one sentence in a minute."

"You stutter, stutter,
stammer, stammer."

"How will you speak
to public?"

My name was announced,
l went to the podium...

l was speaking to the people
but l did not see them.

And when l ended my speech,

one of my teachers
came to me and told...

"Oh, Ziauddin,
you spread the fire."

l got encouraged.

I didn't keep silent. L spoke.

Because this is me.

Because this is me.

IsIam is our reIigion.

IsIam is our reIigion.

They tarnished the beautifuI face of IsIam.

Today, in a very peacefuI manner,

we record our protest.

PeopIe used to respect
each other's beIiefs.

Whoever ruins IsIam's hoIy name,

for the sake of poIitics,

it is required we stand in their way,

and not Iet them go.

If l keep silent, l think,

then you lose
the right to exist.

The right to live.

If my rights are vioIated
and I keep siIent,

I shouId better die
than to Iive.

I would worry
about my father.

Some of his friends
were attacked

and some of his friends
were killed.

The Taliban leader

announced my name
on his FM radio.

I used to change my routine.

I used to keep
a random kind of schedule.

It was really hard
to sleep.

I could see
a lot of scary things.

Usually, the Taliban killed
people at nighttime.

I would go outside...

l would check every door.

"That gate is closed, so they
cannot come from that gate."

"That door is locked, so they
cannot come from that door."

"Oh, God, protect my father."

"Protect our family."

The Nobel Peace Prize,

the average age
of the winner is 62.

But tonight, the youngest
nominee is a 16-year-old girl.

Bring the breakfast.

Dad, we are getting Iate for schooI.

Malala
is the daughter of the nation.

She is doing great work
for the girls' education.

She's Iike a roIe modeI
to all our girIs.

She's even a favorite now

to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Nobel Peace Prize,
if l get it,

it would be an honor for me.

It wouId heIp me in my
campaign for girIs' education.

Malala is a brave,

intelligent girl
from our valley.

She lit the candle of
knowledge in our country.

Malala was a girl like us.

She's inspiring us.

One of the most important
factors for HitIer...

She's a goodwill ambassador
of Pakistan

and we're definiteIy
supporting her.

In her hometown today,

schoolchildren prayed
she would win the Nobel.

Good morning,
Iadies and gentIemen.

The Norwegian NobeI Committee
has decided...

that the NobeI Peace Prize
for 2013...

is to be awarded
to the Organization

for the Prohibition
of ChemicaI Weapons.

They must have made
a decision on merit...

so we shouId honor it,
we shouId accept it,

and we shouId be happy
for that.

Awards doesn't matter.

PeopIe have supported me,

and that is the greatest award
I have deserved.

If awards
don't matter, what matters?

Really, change matters.
Change matters.

Destroying a schooI is not a difficuIt job.

It's quite easy to torch.

And God's full support is there.

The Taliban
started the campaign

that girIs' education
is against IsIam...

and girIs shouId not
go to schooI.

As Iong as girIs are covered, they can
get reIigious education.

Any other type of education is compIeteIy
unnecessary for women.

Education
was a threat to them.

Education gives you the power
to question things.

The power to challenge things.

To be independent.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you, as well.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you, as well.

We have given
scholarships to many girls

all around the world.

I am very happy that you
go to schooI and study.

Put a Iot of effort in your studies, okay?

And when the teacher gives you homework,
make sure you do it on time, okay?

Yes.

Little girls.
They're only six and seven...

who'll be going to
other people's houses

to clean their houses.

And now these girls
are getting education.

It's very difficult
to forget all those good days.

When l was
facing those girls...

it was lovely.

I dream that
one day l'll go back...

and l will meet
all my students, my people.

That would be
the greatest day,

the happiest day of my life.

There will be no end to this, God willing.

Three schools
bombed in Matta.

Two more schools in Charbagh.

One more school in Kabal.

When they
came to our town,

they bombed three schools
in one night.

It brought fear.

It scared children.

They thought that
if they go to school

they might be killed.

Many
international journalists

used to go from
person to person.

Everybody said,
"No, l can't speak."

"l can't risk my life."

The BBC correspondent said...

"We need someone to
write a diary of Swat."

The first girl
told her whole story,

what happened on her day.

The next day,

her father came to school
and told my father...

"My daughter cannot do this."

"l do not want her
to be killed."

My father asked me,
"Would you like to?"

My mother would say,

"lt's written
in the holy Qur'an..."

"that truth has to come
and falsehood has to die."

Every night
the BBC correspondent

would call me...

and l would tell him
what my feelings are

and what happened all the day.

They changed my name
and gave me a pseudonym,

Gul Makai.

So you moved houses?

This is, you can
call it the fourth house.

- Fourth?
- Yeah.

First, my mother, father,
they were in a hosteI.

Then they moved
to an apartment.

Then we went to another house.

We stayed there
maybe for six, seven months,

and now we are here.

What's your
favorite book of all time?

No, don't ask
difficuIt questions.

I Iike this book,
A Brief History of Time,

but it's quite difficuIt
to understand.

You have to read it
three, four times.

And then the book

which is my favorite book,
is The Alchemist.

Over there, the yellow one.

So, there's another book,
it's quite...

Show me the book. What is it?

Here's another book.
It's quite boring.

So this is l Am Malala.

Written by MaIaIa
with Christina Lamb.

And someone has given me
an autograph.

Someone has signed it.

And her name is aIso MaIaIa.

"Dear MaIaIa,
well done, keep it up."

"Best of Iuck, MaIaIa."

Private schools in Pakistan

are banning a book
written by Malala Yousafzai.

The school board president

said Malala represented
the views of the West.

There are many other peopIe

who are doing much more
for the Pakistani community.

That's a big question for us.

Why she's getting
so much attention.

She's getting a Iot of fame

and I think it's more of
a pubIicity stunt.

She shouId have stayed in Swat.
She went to EngIand.

MaIaIa is just
name of a character.

It can be anyone.

She's a girI.
She don't know anything.

Her father wrote everything for her.
That's why she's so famous.

L've noticed
something about you.

Yeah?

You don't Iike
to taIk about your suffering.

You're avoiding the question.

I am?

You're avoiding my question.

Of course I am.

You don't like
to talk about it.

Well, I don't know.

Every night you would hear
the noises of the bomb blasts.

And in the morning,
the school was no more there.

They destroyed
more than 400 schools.

Finally, the Taliban
became so strong...

they could make a demand

more devastating
than their bombs.

After January 15th,

from the oIdest to the youngest...

not one singIe girI shouId go to schooI.

The Taliban said that
no girl can go to school...

and if she goes,
then you know what we can do.

The government decided

to take military action
against the Taliban.

There was fighting everywhere.

With millions of others,

our family had to leave
our beautiful Swat Valley.

For three months,
we moved from place to place.

Refugees in our own country.

What's his name?

MaIik.

There's no schooIs.

Ranim used to go to schooI
because she's six,

but now they've destroyed
the schooIs.

No matter
where you go in the world...

no matter what country,
what religion...

you will find children
who are out of school.

In just three years,
3 million Syrian children

are no longer in school.

Each day,
hundreds cross the border

to escape war.

Peace be upon you.

People argue about the war

and debate
about the politics...

but who is thinking
about the children?

When we returned home
we were hopeful.

But those old, busy roads
were vacant.

Many houses and schools
were destroyed.

The Taliban
were no more on the roads,

but the target killing
continued.

Our beautiful school
was used in the fighting.

It was school where l would
see my friends every day.

Where we would learn
every day.

It was school which was
giving me hope...

which was building up
my future.

There is a moment
when you have to choose...

whether to be silent
or to stand up.

Sometimes
some people just say that...

one should protect his life...

protect his family.

When l was little,
many people would say...

"Change Malala 's name."

"lt's a bad name,
it means sad."

But my father
would always say,

"No, it has another meaning."

"Bravery."

The BBC blog,
it was very safe.

It was anonymous.

But it was not enough.

I knew
what the risk would be,

standing in front of
the camera.

He didn't push me.

He let me do what l wanted.

When every man was losing
courage at the battlefield,

a woman raised her voice.

Speak, Malala.
Speak from your heart.

Speak what's inside your soul.

Even if I have nowhere to sit,

and have to sit on the fIoor
to get an education,

I will do that.

You are not afraid of anyone?

I am afraid of no one.

Don't dare go forward.

If you do, remember that you,

and your home, will not be safe!

She was
the first one who named them.

The same FazIullah, who
sIaughtered our brothers

and beat our girIs with cIubs,
why do you Iet him be?

Why are Sufi Muhammad, MusIim Khan
and FazIullah still free?

We started
sneaking to the school.

Going secretly.

Remember, I know you!

Listen carefully,

when I am willing to kill myseIf,
others are nothing to me.

This is not just for MaIaIa Yousafzai,

but it is in the name of those girIs
who fight for their rights,

raise their voice for their rights and
have the passion to get educated.

They'll never kill a child.

I never, never expected that.

I have the right to sing.

I have the right
to go to market.

I have the right to speak up.

I will get my education
if it is in home,

school or any place.

They cannot stop me.

I was in a press club

and it was my turn to speak.

My friend received a call.

"Malala 's school bus
has been attacked."

She was taken
to a military hospital.

The doctors performed
an emergency surgery.

There were a lot of people
in the hospital.

Nobody thought
that she will survive.

Me and my wife,
we cried all the night.

The doctors made
the decision to move her.

The plane that she's in now,

provided by
the United Arab Emirates...

is a special air ambulance...

lt wasn't certain

that she could survive.

A large
piece of bone was removed

when her brain
started swelling.

Although she was
on very strong antibiotics,

she had some infection.

Sepsis has got
a very high mortality rate.

The procedure
she will be undergoing

in the next week...

is putting a titanium plate
over the deficit in her skull.

Malala 's kidneys
had started to shut down.

Her blood acid levels
had started to rise.

Her blood had
stopped clotting properly.

Malala is still

showing some signs
of infection.

She has undergone
a further surgical procedure

to repair
her left facial nerve.

She wasn't
moving her right side well.

That area of the brain was
still not working properly.

The second part
of the procedure

she'll be undergoing
a cochlear implant.

I was
very worried that survival

would be with
major disabilities.

When she first woke up,

she didn't believe that
her father was alive.

She had got it into her head

that he'd been targeted
and he was dead.

Every time l saw her
she asked me,

"So where's my father?"

We were thinking,

"What Malala
will be thinking?"

"l was a child.
You should have stopped me."

"What has happened to me
is because of you."

The doctors told me,
"She will survive."

But would she recover?

And...

Like this. Good.

There was still a fear that

she may not be
the same as she was.

Would she be able to walk?
Would she be able to talk?

Okay.

Would she be able to speak

as she used to speak?

With the same spirit?

It is a miracle

that you are
here with us today.

You had to overcome
an attempt on your life.

Grievous injuries
inflicted by a gun.

Months in hospital.

You have been taken
from your own country

that you love.

Let me say the words

the TaIiban never wanted
her to hear...

Happy 16th birthday, MaIaIa.

It is an honor for me

to be speaking again
after a Iong time.

Thank you to every person

who has prayed
for my fast recovery...

and a new Iife.

The TaIiban shot me

on the Ieft side
of my forehead.

They shot my friends, too.

They thought that the bullet
wouId siIence us.

But nothing changed
except this:

Weakness, fear
and hopeIessness died.

Strength, power
and courage was born.

I am the same MaIaIa.

My ambitions are the same.

My hopes are the same
and my dreams are the same.

We realize
the importance of light

when we see darkness.

We realize
the importance of our voice

when we are silenced.

We beIieve in the power
and the strength of our words.

Today is the day
of every woman...

every boy and every girl...

who has raised their voice
for their rights.

Let us pick up
our books and our pens.

They are our most
powerful weapons.

One chiId, one teacher...

one book and one pen
can change the worId.

I have been given a new life.

And this life,
this life is a sacred life.

One more game of Snap.

Oh, yeah,
I got some cards here!

Okay, so one...

Two, three, go.

One, two, three, go!

KhushaI,
you're not taking the card.

You're so sIow.

One, two, three.

Oh!

I'm donkey? I'm your father.

What are you saying?
Your father's a donkey.

- No, it's just a game.
- I didn't say it.

MaIaIai, she made a choice.

"I might get shot
but I'm gonna do it."

But your father
made the choice

to pick this Iife for you.

No.

My father onIy gave me
the name MaIaIai.

He didn't make me MaIaIai.

I chose this life.

It was not forced on me.

It was not told to me
to live such kind of life.

I chose this life
and now l must continue it.

Ladies and gentlemen...

good morning.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee
has decided...

that the NobeI Peace Prize
for 2014...

is to be awarded
to Malala Yousafzai...

and Kailash Satyarthi.

A conscience
exists in the world...

that extends
beyond all boundaries.

It says that children
have a right to childhood.

I tell my story
not because it is unique...

but because it is not.

It is the story of many girls.

I am MaIaIa,
but I'm aIso Shazia.

I'm Kainat. L'm Kainat Soomro.

I'm Mezon. L'm Amina.

I am those 66 million girls
who are deprived of education.

I'm not a lone voice,
l am many.

And our voices have grown
Iouder and Iouder.
