It’s been 1000 days since the Taliban banned girls’ secondary education. Afghan women and girls are living under gender apartheid — but they are fighting back. That's why Malala Fund is supporting orgs working to keep girls learning in Afghanistan with $1.5M in new funding.

“This is a systematic oppression. Afghan women’s rights activists are calling it a gender apartheid… We should not be silent. We should not look away.”
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai speaking to me on day 1,000 of Afghan teenage girls being banned from school.

Codifying gender apartheid under international law will help hold the Taliban accountable & ensure justice for girls & women.
But what is gender apartheid & how is it relevant to Afghanistan? Sahar Halaimzai breaks it down.

Grateful for champions like Ziauddin Yousafzai who quite literally have not let a day go by without reminding the world of the Taliban's ban on girls' secondary education.
May we all heed the call of 🇦🇫 women + girls and hold the Taliban to account for their #genderapartheid regime.

I still see fresh, young forces in Afghanistan who have the courage to stand up to the Taliban.These forces include women, girls, and men. I believe they need support to overcome the oppressive narratives of the Taliban. The Diplomat thediplomat.com/2024/06/zahra-…

Alternate headline: some member states + United Nations leaders appear set to sell out Afghan women and girls, ignoring the centrality of their rights in favor of 'financial and banking-related problems, alternative livelihoods for poppy growers, climate change impacts on the country.' 😡
