As the third anniversary of the Taliban’s closure of girls’ schools above the sixth grade approaches, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai called Afghan women the true force of resistance against the Taliban.

She urged the world to hold the Taliban accountable for their crimes. Malala emphasized that she will continue her efforts to secure women’s rights and praised Afghan women for their resilience, finding creative ways to continue their education at home through phones, TV, and radio.
