Malala Yousafzai Urges Muslim Leaders to Treat Gender Apartheid as a Crime
ai generated text
Malala Yousafzai has urged Muslim leaders to support making gender apartheid a crime under international law, condemning the Taliban's restrictions on Afghan women's rights, including an 18-month closure of girls' schools. Despite surviving a Taliban attack at 15, she continues advocating for girls' education and women's rights.
Simply put, the Taliban in Afghanistan do not see women as human beings.
Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls are completely banned from education beyond grade six.
I cannot imagine an Afghan girl or an Afghan woman being forced back into the system that denies her future.
As Muslim leaders, now is the time to raise your voice, use your power.
In Afghanistan an entire generation of girls will be robbed of its future.
