She expressed her excitement about being back and highlighted the summit’s goal to unite representatives from Muslim-majority nations to address the ongoing issue of girls’ education, as millions of girls around the world remain out of school.
Malala is scheduled to speak at the event, where she plans to emphasize the critical need to protect girls’ educational rights and hold the Taliban accountable for their treatment of Afghan women and girls.
