Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijab is horrifying-Malala

Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace laureate and women’s rights activist, is aghast at the college “forcing us to choose between studies and the hijab”. For Malala, “refusing to let girls go to school in their hijab is horrifying”. She adds, “Objectification of women persists — for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women.” Yousafzai said refusing to let girls go to school in their hijab is horrifying.

Malala has come a long way from being a young Pakistani girl who dared to look in the eyes of the Taliban when they threatened her from attending school. In 2012, she was shot in the head by the Islamist militia for her campaign in favour of the education of girls in Pakistan.
