Yes, it's reaching to the work for girls' education.
You know, I don't necessarily think about it in the sense of freedom, but I think about it as a purpose of life.
I just reflect on the time when I could not be in school.
I was only 11 years old and the Taliban had banned girls from learning.
It has been my life's mission since then that no other girl faces that.
I remember recovering from the Taliban bullet and processing this moment that somebody could hurt a child.
And since then, it has now become my life's goal that no other child takes a bullet, no other child is punished for daring to be
in school so when you face violence harm and trauma yourself you understand how terrible and horrible it is that you can no longer see it even happening to anybody else you know people often ask me like how I felt I'm like you know yes you know it was all horrible but I just cannot see it happening to anyone right now whether it's
girls being banned from school in Afghanistan or girls' schools being bombed in Gaza or children being forced into labor or girls being married off.
And they have to live under these constant wars and violence.
But I just hope that we can create a world without any violence
war and terror and harm for children where they can have a childhood of joy and learning and they can have a safe life.
Being with you, being here at the moment you step into the circle.
