Activist Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the face in 2012 by the Taliban for advocating for girls' education, has said she fears for the future of Afghan women's education.In her essay, Malala recalled how the Taliban banned girls from getting an education after invading her hometown in Pakistan in 2007.
Because of her advocacy for women's rights to an education, Malala was shot in the face by Taliban gunmen on a bus when she was 15.Under Taliban rule, girls were banned from attending school, while women could only appear in public wearing full body coverings and accompanied by male escorts. After overthrowing the Afghanistan government, the Taliban promised not to ban women from attending schools or work and to allow them into government.
“One woman who runs schools for rural children told me she has lost contact with her teachers and students," Malala wrote."We need specific agreements that girls can complete their education, can study science and math, can go to university and be allowed to join the workforce and do jobs they choose," the activist added.
Religion extremism is a form of colonization using religion to conquer nation and taking over their natural resources
But the Taliban has said women will be allowed to have education up to the university levels?😎
