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.

      Capitalists are more efficient than both.

      They don’t see almost anyone as human.

        Haha I’m going to assume the comment wasn’t giving the Taliban or Ya’ll-qaeda a pass with a whataboutism.

        They don’t see almost anyone as human.

        But it’s okay you can drop the “almost”. To them, humans are just another speculative resource that responds to market manipulation! XD
