"Dear brothers and sisters, I was named after the inspirational Pashtun Joan of Arc, Malalai of Maiwand.

"The word Malala means "grief stricken", "sad", but in order to lend some happiness to it, my grandfather would always call me Malala -- the happiest girl in this world and today I am very happy that we are standing together for an important cause."
