- Please join me tonight
in welcoming the 2017 Wonk
of the Year, Malala Yousafzai.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- There's nothing
special in my story
but only that no one stopped
me, so girls can do anything.
Women can do anything.
We have to encourage women
to participate actively
in society.
It is going to benefit women.
It is going to benefit men.
Every girl all around the
world gets complete 12 years
of quality, safe,
and free education.
That is my mission.
We have to meet people,
we have to talk to people,
and this is the best way
to which we can integrate,
to which we can know
each other, and to which
we can celebrate the diversity.
I believe in truth, and
I believe in standing up
for what is right.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- How do you plan to
manage both your college
life and your social
life while still
being an international
human rights activist?
- Well, it would be good
just to get your advice.
Would anyone of you
like to say something?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
You have to continue
following your dreams.
Do not underestimate the
potential that you have,
and that you can
change the world.
Thank you so much for all
the love and the support
that you have given me.
