Malala Yousafzai Returns to Pakistan for Global Girls' Education Summit

The Nobel laureate aims to address education challenges in Muslim-majority countries, with a focus on Afghanistan's ban on female education.

Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner, has returned to Pakistan for a two-day summit on girls' education in the Islamic world.
The summit in Islamabad brings together leaders from 44 Muslim-majority countries to address the millions of girls out of school globally.
Malala plans to highlight the plight of Afghan women and girls, the only group globally banned from attending school and university under Taliban rule.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the importance of education for girls, describing its denial as a violation of their rights and future opportunities.
Despite an invitation, the Afghan Taliban government declined to attend the summit, which also addresses Pakistan's own education crisis, with over 26 million children out of school.
