Malala Yousafzai urges Muslim leaders to challenge policies restricting girls and women's schooling.

Summary

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai condemned the Taliban’s treatment of women at a Pakistan summit on girls’ education in Muslim communities, stating, “The Taliban do not see women as human beings.”

She criticized their policies banning Afghan girls from education and work as “gender apartheid” and un-Islamic.

Afghanistan is the only country banning education for girls beyond grade six, affecting 1.5 million girls.

Malala urged Muslim leaders to challenge these practices and advocate for girls’ education globally.

The Taliban declined to attend or comment.

    religion is in itself a ridiculous premise, and the type is largely irrelevant (islam/christianity).

    they are a disease that should be eradicated. humanity will never move forward with such archaic ideas.

      Ok will you be consistent and mention the same of other ideologies that have wreaked havoc? By the way you associate things you have to acknowledge the death and destruction brought upon by secular and atheist states from colonialism to modern day imperialism.

      I’ll list some examples of states that caused a lot of death and destruction:

      • USSR a secular atheist state that killed millions and committed ethnic cleansing. (One ex. Is what they did in Kazakhstan)

      • USA and France and their invasion of Vietnam

      • All that was done by secular states in the colonial era

      • all that is being currently by secular states in the neo colonial era

      • US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

      • Russian invasion of Ukraine

      I can keep going.

        all religions were created by con artists. theyre just tools used to control other humans. its nothing more than that.

        islam itself founded by a pedophilic warlord. volume of the indoctrinated is irrelevant. kinda funny how the best predictor of which of these cults any particular human follows is geography.

            o0o0 sick burn. hard to refute reality.

            every holy book has been written by humans with something to gain in their use. christianity responsible for some of the largest swaths of dead humans in the crusades. the bible crafted by carefully selected passages by humans across millennia. even modern bullshit like mormonism and scientology, created by documented con artists. but oh no, yours is the ‘one true’ religion.

            all religions are false Except yours, right? cuz yours is somehow special?
