Education is a right, not a privilege.
The number of out-of-school girls highlights serious violations of their right to education and represents a significant missed potential.

Afghan women and girls are living under a system of gender apartheid, where the Taliban ban women and girls from going to school past grade 6, from working or participating in public life.
@Malala talks to @SkyYaldaHakim about taking action through movement building, advocating to get gender apartheid recognized as a crime against humanity in international law and supporting Afghan activists in any way we can.
“We cannot wait any longer”.
@Malala spoke to me ahead of Malala day on July 12th, calling for world leaders to step up and push for the rights of Afghan girls.
Three years after the Taliban takeover, Afghan women and girls are still barred from high school, university, playing sports and most public places.
