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.
