Considering the situation, Malala reached out to her Twitter handle to express her views on the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban.
“I am deeply worried about women, minorities, and human rights advocates”, Malala penned down her thoughts about new Afghanistan.
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.

The human rights activist urged global, regional, and local powers to call for urgent humanitarian aid and the protection of refugees and civilians.
After years of struggle and sacrifices, Afghanistan has become a reasonable place for women where the Taliban now also look convinced to allow females to leave homes alone and access to education and work but wearing hijab.
However, only time will determine if the Taliban keep up their words of granting women their rights which they had ceased pre 9/11.
