‘Truly Honoured, Overwhelmed, and Happy,’ Says Education Activist
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai has returned to Pakistan after more than two years to attend a global summit on girls’ education in Islamabad.
Upon her arrival, Malala expressed her emotions, saying, “I’m truly honoured, overwhelmed, and happy to be back in Pakistan.”
This marks her third visit to the country since she was shot by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in 2012.
The two-day summit, which focuses on the education of girls in Muslim-majority countries, aims to address the issue of millions of girls being out of school.
Malala is set to speak at the conference, where she plans to advocate for the rights of all girls to receive an education and hold the Taliban accountable for their actions against Afghan women and girls.
The Afghan Taliban government has been invited to participate, although no response has been received.
Malala is also scheduled to address the summit on Sunday, where she stated in a post on social media platform X, “I will discuss the importance of protecting the rights of all girls to receive an education and emphasize the need for leaders to hold the Taliban accountable for their actions against Afghan women and girls.”
