[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

The International Criminal Court’s announcement sends a powerful message to Afghan women and girls everywhere. Perpetrators like the Taliban, who systemically deny women and girls their human rights, must be held accountable for their crimes.

It has been nearly four years since the Taliban banned girls from school. Afghan girls must know we will stand with them and fight alongside them until they are allowed back in the classroom.

An 11-year-old Afghan girl, Lina Haidar, has proudly earned her 12th-grade certificate in Germany, breaking national records. In a time when the Taliban bans girls from education in Afghanistan, Afghan girls abroad continue to shine and defy gender apartheid. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

At @MWLOrg_en #GirlsEducationMatters conference, I called out the Taliban’s gender apartheid in Afghanistan and delivered the message that we can be champions of our faith by being champions for girls & their right to learn. My gratitude to @MhmdAlissa for inviting me to speak.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

The world is one step closer to recognising gender apartheid under international law — and holding the Taliban accountable for their crimes against Afghan women & girls. I am grateful to the courageous activists who demanded justice and the governments that advanced this treaty.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Congratulations @IbrahimiNila on winning the International Children’s Peace Prize! I am so proud of you for standing up to the Taliban and fighting for Afghan girls’ education. Your courage is an inspiration to girls and an example to leaders everywhere.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Together with @Hmosadiq and @shalaimzai, I asked UK parliamentarians and ministers to recognise the Taliban’s regime for what it is: gender apartheid. We must hold the Taliban accountable for their crimes against Afghan girls and women.

I look forward to seeing parliamentarians and the government follow through with concrete action.
