CWN Editor's Note: A Pakistani Nobel Peace Prize winner who lived under Taliban rule told a Vatican spokesman that the “scale of the Taliban’s oppression is almost unimaginable.”
“Women and girls are banned from education, work and any form of public and political participation,” Malala Yousafzai said in an interview with Alessandro Gisotti, a vice director of the Editorial Directorate at the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication.
“They are controlling every part of a woman’s life, including if she can go to a park, how loud her voice can be, how she dresses,” she added. “This is more than gender discrimination; it is gender apartheid.”
