Hey, guys! So, Malala Yousafzai, that super inspiring Nobel Peace Prize winner, is asking Pakistan to stop kicking out Afghan refugees. She's really worried about what'll happen to the women and girls who are forced to go back to Afghanistan.
In a chat with AFP on a Friday, Malala talked about how sad she is that Pakistan is planning to deport Afghans who don't have the right papers. But here's the thing: they've already given a bit more time to those who do have valid permits to stay in the country. Since last year, when Pakistan basically told them to leave or get locked up, over 600,000 Afghans have left the country.
Now, here's the kicker: these people are escaping because the Taliban took over again in 2021, and life got super tough for women and girls there. Human rights groups are saying that a lot of these refugees might get into big trouble if they go back, and it's not like they're going home to a party.
Malala, who's 27 and totally badass, talked about how a bunch of these refugee girls were actually going to school in Pakistan, and the women were working and contributing to the community. She's from Pakistan's Swat valley and had to move to the UK after the Taliban tried to kill her when she was just 15 because she stood up for education for girls.
What's really cool is that on Malala Day, which is a big deal because it's all about her and her work, she talked about the problems Afghan girls are facing. They're basically the only ones in the whole wide world who can't go to school after they turn 12. And she's just in awe of how strong these activists are in such a messed up situation.
The Malala Fund, which is like her own little army for education, is pushing the UN to do more about this "gender apartheid" thing happening in Afghanistan. It's when a society totally separates and treats women differently just because they're women, and it's not cool.
And she's not just talking about Afghanistan; she's got thoughts on the Gaza situation too. Malala wants everyone to chill out and stop fighting, because schools and homes are getting destroyed. She's all about the UN stepping in and making sure everyone's safe, especially the kids who are missing out on school and stuff.
So, that's the gist of it. Malala's a real-life superhero, and she's fighting for the rights of refugees and education for all!
