Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel Laureate, met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday and urged increased US help for women and girls in Afghanistan.
“Afghanistan right now is the only country where girls do not have access to secondary education. They are prohibited from learning,” the 24-year-old, who works with female Afghan activists, noted in remarks standing alongside Blinken.
“This is the message of Afghan girls right now: we want to see a world where all girls can have access to safe and quality education,” she added, while presenting a letter addressed to President Joe Biden from a 15-year-old Afghan girl named Sotodah.
