Today at the UN, I spoke about a hard truth: True justice does not defend the humanity of children in one place and ignore it in another.
I am devastated for families in Iran whose daughters left for school and did not return home. For parents in Gaza who buried their children beneath the rubble of their classrooms. For Afghan girls living under the brutal Taliban regime for nearly five years.
The Taliban have built a system that removes women and girls from education, work and public life. This is gender apartheid, and it is time for the world to recognise it and act to end it.
Speeches do not protect girls. But law, accountability and political courage can.

83 children killed by Israeli attack on Lebanon. After murdering 70000 children in Gaza, the Epstein class is targeting children of all those forces who stood up for Palestinian children.
Stopping the US-Zionist war on children is the greatest moral imperative of our time.

The youngest Nobel Prize laureate ever, Malala Yousafzai, was only 17 years old at the time of the award. She was born on 12 July 1997 in Pakistan and was named after an Afghan poet, Malalai of Maiwand. Her father ensured that she received proper schooling and educated her at his private school. He added her name to the family register and allowed her to stay up late and debate politics. From a young age Malala dreamt about becoming a doctor. Malala had a gift for public speaking and began to speak up for girls’ rights to education. In 2009, Yousafzai started an anonymous blog for BBC Urdu. After revealing her identity, the New York Times made a short film about her fight for education for all. As Yousafzai became more known, a death threat was issued against her. In 2012, Malala was shot by a masked gunman on a school bus. He threatened to kill all students on the school bus if she didn’t identify herself. The gunman also shot two of Malala’s friends. After intensive rehabilitation in the United Kingdom, she survived the attack. Fearlessly and with determination, Yousafzai kept fighting for girls’ right to education. Today, she is a role model for many young girls. In 2014, Malala Yousafzai received the Nobel Peace Prize for her bravery and work to ensure girls’ rights to education. Learn more: bit.ly/2Kf2TfQ

It was a victory for women everywhere. I had really realized that when I won and I got so many letters from other Muslim women. And more than that, from women within my own country who felt that it was now decent to work - Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto #WomensDay2026 #WomenEmpowermentByPPP
