Malala Yousafzai Nobel Peace Prize Speech

Yousafzai added: “Why is it that countries which we call so strong and so powerful in creating wars but so weak bringing peace? Why is it that giving guns is so easy but giving books is so hard?

She said more, “When she first moved to England, she found the clothing on other women so skimpy that she wondered if there was a national fabric shortage. She wears a standard British uniform to school each day green sweater, striped shirt, tights – but adds a longer skit and a headscarf for modesty. She still goes to a therapy session to regain the use of her facial muscles, she wrote in her book and tries not to dwell on the operations she may need in the future. She has grown to love cupcakes. But does not hide the fact that she and her family find England cold and isolating.”
