“Let us change the ideology of being powerful, the powerful countries shall not be judged by counting their soldiers and navy, but rather we must see which country has the higher literacy rate, which country has more educated people, which country has provided their basic rights to citizens”…“There is hope because you are all here, united to help these innocent children… they do not want an iPhone, an Xbox, a PlayStation or chocolates. They just want a book and a pen.”
Malala’s Sakharov Prize speech, 2013
