Who Said It: Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai Or Afghan Parliamentarian Fawzia Koofi

"Women's rights must not be the sacrifice by which peace is achieved."

“Why is it that countries which we call strong are so powerful in creating wars but are so weak in bringing peace?"

"For as long as I am alive, I will not rest in my desire to lead my people out of an abyss of corruption and poverty."

"I want education for the sons and the daughters of all the extremists, especially the Taliban."

"I don't cover my face because I want to show my identity."

"I want my daughters to be respected as human beings; that's the country I'm fighting for."

"I speak not for myself but for those without voice... those who have fought for their rights... their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated."

"In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering."
