We must tell girls their voices are important.

The important thing to note is that it is not important whether Malala was shot or not - Malala is not asking for personal favors or support. She is asking for support with girls' education and women's rights. So don't support Malala, support her campaign for girls' education and women's rights.

In many countries, they do not even keep track of how girls are doing in school, or if they are there at all. If we say, 'Girls count,' then we must count girls, so we can see if we are really making progress in educating every girl.

We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.

I don't want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up.

It is very important to know who you are. To make decisions. To show who you are.
