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.

    Then would be okay for a “white” skin person to claim that they’re “Black” and say the N-word etc right?

      It’s a social taboo for a person to try to “pass” as another race and fail. It’s common for people to have a mismatch between their personal identifying race and what others assign to them. Passing as white, for example, was always historically fraught. It could often lead to ostracization from all sides. The same is true of trying to pass as black. There’s a similar issue with trying to pass as another class (another social construct). It’s not fundamentally immoral to violate social constructs though.
