Malala Yousafzai tells Taliban: Reopen Girls' Schools in Afghanistan Immediately

Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel Laureate from Pakistan, has urged Afghanistan’s Taliban leadership to reopen secondary schools for powerful girls as soon as possible. In an open letter to the new ruler of the war-torn country, she made this request.

“To the Taliban leadership,” Yusafzai and other Afghan women’s rights advocates wrote in a public letter, “overturning the de legal ban on girls’ education and promptly reopening girls’ secondary school.” The Taliban regime claims that girls in Afghanistan can attend school, but only in gender-separated courses.

As promoters and advocates of women’s education, Pakistani activists were shot by Pakistani Taliban (TTP) terrorists in their birthplace of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Swat Valley, in 2012.

Her open letter comes one month after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan. Taliban commanders have now declared that girls’ education is now permitted in the country.

The Taliban, on the other hand, only allows males’ education facilities to reopen and refuses to allow girls’ schools to reopen.

The Taliban leadership has promised to offer all women in the country with equal access to education, but many people are sceptical that this promise would be kept.

The Taliban are likely to ignore Yousafzai’s demands, which are universally recognised and worthwhile.

Yusafzai and his family were also regularly threatened by the Taliban, who swore to kill her if they could, and accused her of being exiled from her home for pursuing an education, which they claimed was against Islamic principles.

One of the world’s key concerns regarding the Taliban-led governance system in Afghanistan is the future of women’s education.

Women’s full rights, including basic human rights, freedom, and education, are being demanded of the Taliban by international forces.

The Taliban may have complied with international requests, but such sorrow is not seen on the ground, where licences to leave women’s houses are still strictly enforced.

The Afghan administration is seeking international recognition in order to resume financial aid in response to the country’s deteriorating financial and economic circumstances.

The international world, on the other hand, claims that the Taliban-led administration can’t get legitimacy unless it negotiates and fulfils its pledges, which include free education and basic rights for Afghan women.
