Malala: We must have the confidence to say that this thing is going on, and we must raise our voice.

Reporter: The New York Times heard about her and filmed a documentary. Her name was becoming famous inside Pakistan, when the radical Taliban decided her message was so strong they would take her life.

Malala: It was always my desire, before they attacked, that “If a man come [sic], what would you tell him, Malala?” I used to think like that. I will tell that man that “I even want education for your daughter.” I’m not speaking...

Reporter: And you think that would work against a gun?

Malala: But I thought that words and books and pens are more powerful than gun.

Reporter: She was on a school bus, like the one children still ride in Pakistan.

Malala: On the day when I was shot, all of my friends’ faces were covered except mine.

Reporter: Was that wise? It was brave, but was it wise?

Malala: At that time I wanted to live my life as I want.

Reporter: Two men approached. He climbs on the bus and asks the question, “Who is Malala?” She doesn’t remember what happened next.

A child gravely wounded. And how she would survive is simply a 6)testament to miracles.

Doctor: The chances of being shot at point blank range in the head and that happening, I don’t know, but it is amazing. Truly amazing! I…I don’t know why she survived.

Reporter: Miracle?

Doctor: If you believe in miracles, yes, absolutely!

Malala: Maybe. I think death didn’t want to kill me, and God was with me, and the people prayed for me.

(in the UN) They thought that the bullet would silence us, but they failed.

Voices: I am Malala. I am Malala!

Malala: (in the UN) Weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.

Voices: We are Malala! Malala: ( after receiving the Nobel Prize) They have the right to receive quality education. They have the right not

to suffer from child labour, not to suffer from child 7)trafficking. They have the right to live a happy life.
