Day 1870: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1410: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 When girls are denied education, poverty becomes an inheritance. Mothers pass on not their dreams, but the disadvantages imposed upon them. Afghanistan cannot break the cycle of poverty while keeping its daughters out of school. #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Day 1869: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1409: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 Every Afghan girl denied education today could have been a doctor saving mothers’ lives tomorrow.

Day 1868: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1408: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 An educated daughter can become a family’s strength, hope and support.

Remember, he has thousands of followers, many of them young people. That alone should alarm the world.
It is deeply troubling and disappointing to see an Islamic scholar of such global prominence as Dr. @drzakiranaik rationalise the Taliban’s systematic exclusion of girls from education. Presenting an indefinite ban as a mere “postponement” and invoking a shortage of female teachers without explaining how that shortage can be addressed is not a credible defence. Such arguments risk legitimising the Taliban’s gender apartheid and lending religious credibility to a grave injustice. چوں كفر از كعبه برخيزد، كجا مانَد مسلماني #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

جناب اوریا مقبول جان صاحب، @OryaMaqboolJan آپ ہمیشہ بغضِ ملالہ میں خیانت اور تعصب کا شکار ہو جاتے ہیں۔ آپ ملالہ اور ہمارے متعلق کسی بھی پروپیگنڈے کو تحقیق اور سچائی کی کسوٹی پر پرکھے بغیر بڑے شوق اور محنت سے آگے بڑھاتے ہیں۔ آپ کے اس طرزِ عمل سے ہم سے زیادہ آپ کو نقصان پہنچتا ہے، کیونکہ یہ رویہ آپ کے ایمان اور اسلامی تعلیمات کے منافی ہے۔ سورۃ الحجرات کی یہ آیتِ مبارکہ آپ نے اپنے مقتدیوں اور معتقدین کو ضرور سمجھائی ہوگی: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ ترجمہ: “اے ایمان والو! اگر کوئی فاسق (بدکردار شخص) تمہارے پاس کوئی خبر لے کر آئے، تو اچھی طرح تحقیق کر لیا کرو، کہیں ایسا نہ ہو کہ تم نادانی میں کسی قوم کو نقصان پہنچا بیٹھو اور پھر اپنے کیے پر پشیمان ہو۔” آپ نے اپنے اس ٹویٹ میں بغیر کسی تحقیق کے نینسی سیڈلی کو ملالہ فنڈ کی انچارج کے طور پر متعارف کرایا ہے، حالانکہ حقیقت یہ ہے کہ موصوفہ کا ملالہ فنڈ سے دور دور کا بھی کوئی تعلق نہیں۔ وہ محض ایک سوشل میڈیا انفلوئنسر ہیں۔ اگر آپ ذرا سی محنت کرکے ان کے ٹویٹر اکاؤنٹ پر جاتے تو آپ کو آسانی سے اندازہ ہو جاتا کہ ان کی ٹویٹس میں میگن مرکل اور پرنس ہیری کے خلاف نفرت انگیزی اور ٹرولنگ کے علاوہ کچھ نظر نہیں آتا۔ ملالہ اور ملالہ فنڈ کے خلاف یہ پروپیگنڈا بھی اسی نفرت کا شاخسانہ ہے کہ ملالہ میگن مرکل سے کیوں ملی؟ آپ نے ہم پر بے ایمانی اور وطن کی عزت و ناموس کا سودا کرنے کا الزام لگایا ہے۔ آپ بغیر کسی ثبوت کے اتنے سخت اور بھاری الزامات کیسے لگا سکتے ہیں؟ ایک ادیب ہوتے ہوئے بھی آپ لفظوں کے معانی اور ان کی حرمت کو کیسے نظرانداز کر سکتے ہیں؟ کیا کسی کے خلاف ذاتی تعصب آپ کو اس بات کی اجازت دیتا ہے کہ آپ اس کی عزت اور کردار پر بغیر ثبوت کے حملہ کریں؟ اور آخر میں، آپ کو یہ بھی بتاتا چلوں کہ نوبل انعام کے منتظمین اپنی تاریخ میں جن نوبل انعام یافتگان پر فخر کرتے ہیں، ملالہ ان عظیم شخصیات کی فہرست میں شامل ہے۔ ملالہ یوسفزئی کی لڑکیوں کی تعلیم کے لیے جدوجہد کی کہانی دنیا بھر کے سکولوں اور یونیورسٹیوں میں پڑھائی جاتی ہے۔ ایک ہم وطن کی حیثیت سے یہ آپ کے لیے بھی باعثِ فخر ہونا چاہیے۔ ہم نے ۲۰۰۷ سے ۲۰۱۲ تک طالبان کی دہشت گردی اور لڑکیوں کی تعلیم پر پابندی کے خلاف آواز اٹھائی۔ گزشتہ ۱۳ سالوں سے ہم پوری شفافیت، دیانت داری اور خلوصِ نیت کے ساتھ دنیا بھر میں لڑکیوں کی تعلیم کے لیے جدوجہد کر رہے ہیں۔ ہمیں نہ اپنے کردار اور جدوجہد پر کوئی ندامت ہے اور نہ ہی کسی رسوائی کا ڈر۔ فارسی کا ایک خوبصورت مقولہ ہے: زرِ پاک را از آتش چہ باک؟ یعنی خالص سونے کو آگ سے کیا ڈر؟ ہاں، اتنا ضرور ہے کہ: چھوڑا نہیں غیروں نے کوئی ناوکِ دشنام چھوٹی نہیں اپنوں سے کوئی طرزِ ملامت اس عشق، نہ اس عشق پہ نادم ہے مگر دل ہر داغ ہے اس دل میں بجز داغِ ندامت خیر اندیش، ضیاءالدین یوسفزئی نوٹ: دوستوں سے گزارش ہے کہ کمنٹس میں ادب اور احترام کو ملحوظِ خاطر رکھیں

It's a tragedy of Islam to have to suffer scholars "of such global prominence". These regressive men (yes, men) refuse to interpret & update religious tenets &practices rationally. Their closed minds can't help the community to negotiate with today's times and live with dignity.

Day 1867: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1407: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 Although Mullah Haibatullah and Dr @drzakiranaik differ significantly in their roles and methods, both have advanced religious interpretations that reinforce male authority over women. Haibatullah presides over a regime that systematically denies women access to education, employment, and public life, institutionalising gender apartheid. Naik, meanwhile, has publicly defended unequal gender roles and rationalised the Taliban’s restrictions on girls’ education. The distinction between enforcing gender apartheid and providing religious justifications that risk legitimising it is crucial, but both deserve unequivocal condemnation. Religious authority must never be used to legitimise gender apartheid. No interpretation of faith can justify denying women and girls their dignity, freedom, education, and fundamental human rights. #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Pakistan spends trillions of rupees on education every year, yet the public has limited understanding of how this money is classified, released and ultimately spent. @tabadlab is building the capacity of Pakistani journalists — who keep the public informed and hold decision-makers accountable — to navigate budget documents, decode classification systems and connect financing figures to real education outcomes. 33 journalists are now trained to follow the money. ▶️ Swipe to see them in action.

Last month at the @gpforeducation replenishment event in New York, lower-income countries committed $471 billion from their national budgets for education over five years. The biggest threat to those commitments is debt. 113 countries are spending more on paying back loans than on their schools. And when education budgets tighten, girls are the first to lose out. 📣 We’re calling on economic leaders and lenders to treat girls’ education as part of the path out of debt crises, rather than a cost to cut. More on girls' education as a debt solution: mala.la/macrocritical

🗓️ Day 1,865 since the Taliban barred girls from attending secondary school. Education is a basic right for all, not a privilege. I will continue speaking out until every school and university opens its doors to these girls and young women. You are not forgotten. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #AfghanWomen
