In 2013 Malala stood before the United Nations to say education is the only solution. Ten years later, the call for the right to access quality education remains evermore vital for girls everywhere.

Live from Nigeria, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and UN Messenger of Peace Malala Yousafzai, join together to discuss the importance of advancing and transforming girls’ education.

Marking the tenth anniversary of Malala Yousafzai’s iconic speech at the United Nations, Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed joined the girl’s education advocate at a special event at the UN House in Nigeria.

Introducing Malala, the Deputy Secretary-General highlighted the progress that has been made and the challenges faced in realizing the goal of making equal, quality education accessible for all girls.

Mohammed said, “Malala has transcended borders, cultures, generations. And her message and her passion have touched people the world over.”

She said, “I'll never forget 10 years ago when she was in the UN, a young girl who rose to the podium at the UN and declared to the world - in the strongest of voices I have to tell you, and really clear -and she said that one child, one teacher, one book, one pen, can change the world.”

Malala, who is a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and UN Messenger of Peace, said, “I spent two years of my childhood under the terrorism of the Taliban, displaced from my home and banned from going to school. Because I was a girl, I was shot and nearly killed for speaking out against these injustices. I did not know if my first speech at the UN would be my last. My only chance to ask the world to send every girl to school. I am more than happy to say that I was wrong.”

Malala said, “in everything that I did, I tried to draw the world's attention to girls like me. Nearly 120 million girls denied the right to education by poverty, patriarchy, climate and conflict.

In Nigeria, she said, “I have listened to the heart-breaking stories from fathers and mothers who lost their daughters in the Chibok school kidnapping. I have asked two Nigerian presidents and other officials to do everything they can to ensure children are safe at school.”

On the situation in Afghanistan, Malala said, “even as a teenager, I understood that progress could be slow. But I never expected to witness a complete reversal. An entire country of girls locked out of school, trapped in their homes and losing hope.”

She said, “I believe that so many of the problems girls face would be solved if we could break the stranglehold of patriarchy, the misogyny we disguised as culture, tradition or religion. We need fathers like mine will stand up for their daughters’ rights.”

As part of her visit, Mohammed travelled to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, with Malala and her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai who is a co-founder of the Malala Fund. The delegation visited three schools all of which focus on providing quality education to girls, many of whom have been impacted by violence.

The United Nations celebrates Malala Day on 12 July, marking the day in 2013 when Malala stood before the United Nations to say education is the only solution.

🦋 On a personal note, this music – and traditional music in general – is the music I love the most. These are the musical forms that speak to me. By drawing deep from the beauty and wisdom that can be found in this art, I find joy and fulfilment. It’s a great honour to know that we are leaving something behind for the next generation as we celebrate these sublime cultural expressions. Thank you all for being with me on this journey. —Sami Yusuf

Always a pleasure to meet our future leaders from the 2023 Teen Summer Program.

I shared my journey and urged them to embrace the opportunities they have. To make it matter and create a better future for all. There is no limit to what they can achieve!

The program which is hosted by the IMF, World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, gives 16 to18-year-olds the opportunity to spend 3 weeks learning about the work of these IFIs and how they serve the world.

This should have been a bright day of celebration, but instead, it became a dark day for the girls of Afghanistan.

We call on the de facto authorities to respect all girls’ rights to education and to open schools for all students without discrimination or further delay.

Thank you.
😊👏😊👏😊

‘🦋 Knowing One Another’ is the piece I chose to open the ‘Beyond the Stars’ concert at the Expo 2020 Dubai. Composed and arranged for the musicians I had assembled for the performance, the music evokes the anticipation of travellers setting out on a journey full of the promise of discovery. From Tayyar Bayramov’s mesmerising mugham solo to the compelling rhythms and melodies performed brilliantly on traditional instruments, my aim was to paint a sound portrait of the ways we come to know one another through our music. Deep thanks to all the musicians who shared their stories and skill, and who set out on this journey with me. —Sami Yusuf
