Children Quote by Malala Yousafzai
““It’s not just the Taliban killing children. Sometimes it’s drone attacks, sometimes it’s wars, sometimes it’s hunger. And sometimes it’s their own family. In June two girls my age were murdered in Gilgit, which is a little north of Swat, for posting a video online showing themselves dancing in the rain wearing traditional dress and headscarves. Apparently their own stepbrother shot them.””

![“Education had been a great gift for him [Ziauddin]. He believed that lack of education was the root of all the Pakistan's problems. Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be reelected. He believed schooling should be available for all, rich and poor, boys and girls.” quote by Malala Yousafzai](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5a1/malala-yousafzai-808_administrators_education-had-been-a-great-gift-for-him_164406.jpg)
