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.

    Oh that’s what you’re talking about. You should say that sooner. Anyway you should note that October 7th had clear military goals (66% of Israeli casualties were combatants); nobody here is supporting the actual killing civilians part. Hell, I don’t think there are any straight up Hamas supporters here specifically because they’re too willy nilly about killing civilians (and because of the whole theocratic dictatorship thing).
