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.
All of these things, it's just scary.
But I just hope that we can create a world without any...
war and terror and harm for children where they can have a childhood of joy and learning and they can have a safe life.
Oh, thank you so much.
Nice talking to you.
Thank you so much. It's an honor for me.

We are human beings, and this is the part of our human nature, that we don't learn the importance of anything until it's snatched from our hands. And when, in Pakistan, when we were stopped from going to school, at that time, I realized that education is very important, and education is the power for women. And that's why the terrorists are afraid of education.

They do not want women to get education, because then women would become more powerful.

Taliban came in 2004, but at that time they were quite good. They did not show their terrorism and they did not blast any school at that time. But they started the real terrorism in 2007. They have blasted more than 400 schools in Swat. They have slaughtered people. And in the month of January 2009, they used to slaughter even two, three people every night. and they have flogged women.

We have seen the barbaric situation of the 21st century, and we have seen, like, the cruelty, and we have seen harsh days in our life and those we regarded as the darkest days of our life. So it was really hard for us at that time.
