Her Speech: '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.
'There
are hundreds of human rights activists and social workers who are not speaking
for their rights but who are struggling to achieve their goal of peace,
education and equality.
'Thousands
of people have been killed by the terrorists and millions injured - I am just
one of them.'
Speaking
about the attempt on her life, she added: 'On the 9th October 2012, the Taliban
shot me on the left side of my forehead and they shot friends too.
'They
thought that the bullet would silence us - but they failed.
'Out
of that silence came thousands of voices.
'The
terrorists thought they would change my aim and stop my ambitions.
'But
nothing changed except this weakness, fear and helplessness died, and strength,
power and courage was born.'
