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.

    You don’t know why I brought up Israel when you brought up Hamas? Because they’re fighting each other right now and Israel is using it as an excuse to cause a genocide which has done far more harm to Palestinian women than Hamas could have ever hoped to have done.

    Why did you bring up Hamas? And if you’re going to say, “because they’re Muslims,” why those Muslims?

      Because Hamas wants to bring about a state that wants to genocide the Jews. Do you think they love the Jewish people?

        That has nothing to do with the subject of this article whatsoever, which is about how the Taliban do not see women as human.

        So how is that relevant?
