As the Taliban seized control of the country, Malala had expressed that she was deeply worried about women, minorities, and human rights advocates in new Afghanistan.

“Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians”, she added.

We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.

Not only this, Malala opined against Taliban rule in Afghanistan in an article written for The New York Times.

However, Taliban are ostensibly keeping their words and granting women their due rights under Islamic Sharia.

Afghan news stations have resumed broadcasting with female staff and now TOLOnews is going to air Malala’s interview.

Not only this, one of the TOLOnews female presenters carried out an interview with a member of the Taliban’s media team after the walkover.

Notably, back in Taliban’s rule from 1996-2001, the women were suppressed and deprived of their basic rights in Afghanistan.
