Girls are losing access to education all around the world due to period poverty.
1 in 4 teens in the US has missed class because they lacked access to menstrual products.
850,000 Afghan girls have been prevented from going to school since the Taliban took over (NPR).
That’s why I’m fundraising for The Pad Project’s Back to School campaign to help girls continue their education by providing desperately needed period products.
$25 provides 100 pads to US students
$50 provides 200 pads to US students
$100 supports 25 US students for a school year
$290 supports a full year of university for 1 woman in Afghanistan
$500 supports an entire 5th grade class in the US
$1,200 funds 1 woman in Afghanistan earning a bachelor’s degree
My goal is raise at least $100 dollars to support 25 girls in the U.S for this upcoming school year. If every single one of my followers donates just a dollar, we can raise over $300! You can donate by clicking the link below. Anything helps!

Malala Yousafzai Posted On Instagram About Her Fight For Girls’ Education.
By: Natileesblog
Date: June 7th,2023 around 9:43pm
Image of Malala Yousafzai joining International Development Sercretary Justine Greening in London talking about girls education/credit to Simon Davis/DFID'.
Activist Malala Yousafzai posted on instagram a few hours ago about her recent trip to Brazil a month ago for encouraging improvements for school education and experiences.
With the following:
“ I am often asked how I stay motivated in my fight for girls’ education. Last month’s trip to Brazil is the perfect answer. I spent nearly a week travelling throughout this beautiful country, hearing from girls who are determined to learn and the education advocates who are helping them realise their dreams.
In Recife, Black, Indigenous and quilombola girls told me about their efforts to improve learning in their communities, like Gabrielle whose Facebook post about how her school wasn’t providing meals or water caught the eye of the local education secretary, who was able to fix the issue.
At a school in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, girls shared stories of overcoming harassment and abuse and how participating in training programs from @MalalaFund partners helped them to find confidence to speak out about the problems they faced.Deyvilla told me how she learned how policy works: “We made demands about how to improve things in our communities”.
She also thank other organisations promoting increase in girls education,inclusivity,safety, and funds in Brazil and how much more they will be able to achieve.Like the Centro de Cultura Luiz Freire, Anaí, Blogueiras Negras, Centro das Mulheres do Cabo, Coletivo Mangueiras, and Grupo Curumim.
She ended her post with:
“ I left Brazil feeling energised. These meetings remind me that there are so many people in every corner of this world with the same mission: to create a world where every girl can learn and lead. When we are united in our fight, we will accomplish amazing things for girls everywhere. Until next time, obrigada por tudo🇧🇷”.
Matter of fact this isn’t also the first time Malala visited Brazil as she visited five years ago on her birthday.
Malala Yousafzai was one of the youngest person to win a noble peace prize in 2014 for her accomplish ments in supporting child rights.
She wrote a blog under a false name “Gul Makai” to BBC called “Diary of a Pakistanian Schoolgirl” about the harsh realities living in Taliban.
She act encouraged girls rights in education from the taliban forcing girls to quit school.
Yousafzai experienced being shot near her temple at the age of 15 and miraculous survived after.
Representing her fight for rights.
She has realeased books throughout the years:
I Am Malala:The Girl Who Stood Up For Education And Was Shot By The Taliban (2013)

Educating-Girls
Female education is the need of the hour. Without educating the women of the country we can’t hope for a developed nation. Women play a vital role in the all-around progress of a country. If we want to make democracy successful, women must be educated. They are the real builders of happy homes.
It is said that if we educate a man, we educate a man only, but if we educate a woman, we educate the whole family. This highlights the importance of female education. It is a fact that women are the first teachers of their children. It is in their lap that the children receive the very first lessons. Hence, if mothers are well-educated, they can play an important role in shaping and molding their sons and daughters. Napoleon was once asked, what the great need of France was. He simply answers, “Nation’s progress is impossible without trained and educated mothers. If the women of my country are not educated, about half of the people will be ignorant.” Such was the opinion of Napoleon about educating the women-folk. Our opinion too must not differ from Napoleon's. We must give up our conservative outlook and create an atmosphere in which not a single woman remains uneducated.
Women have three major roles to perform in the course of their life. They have to discharge their duties as good daughters, good wives, and good mothers. Apart from these important duties, they have to prove themselves as good citizens of a free democracy. Hence, it is necessary to give women a different kind of education from the one given to boys. Their education should be such as may enable them to discharge their duties in a proper way. From education, they become fully matured in all the fields of life. Educated women are well aware of their duties and rights. They can contribute to the development of the country in the same way as men do.
Society runs on two wheels, both the wheels must be equally strong to run smoothly. It is a good sign that today’s women are not considered the weaker sex. They are being taught properly right from their childhood. As a result, we see women working in almost every field. They work even in police and other departments. Our constitution grants them equal rights, not more rights as compared to men.
Although legally and theoretically women are now considered equal to men yet there are people who refuse to give them their due. They think that women are inferior to men and ill-treat them and misbehave with them. All right-thinking people should protest against it. They should try to broaden the outlook of those who have conservative feelings for women. Female education is important and all the impediments must be removed from the way of their education. Let’s take a view to extend a cooperative attitude in imparting education to the womenfolk.
Women should be given equivalent chances in education as men and they should not be cut off from any development opportunities. To extend the significance and progress of the level of women's education all over the country, proper awareness programs are necessary, especially in rural areas. A knowledgeable female can teach her whole family and also the whole country.

Women teachers are good for girls ..... that can’t possibly be why conservative men like Jordan Peterson whine about the “feminization” of education
It’s common to say that everyone remembers a great teacher, although I’ve always found that the stupendously bad ones also stick in the memory. What is certainly true is that what happens in our school years does have lasting effects, for good or ill.
New research into rural schooling in 1930s and 1940s America makes the case for teachers as role models as well as educators. At a time when girls saw few women in professional roles, it found that those with disproportionately female teachers at primary school achieved better educational outcomes. Maybe that’s not surprising, but the researchers went on to show that the impact continued long after they had left the classroom. Women who had more female teachers earned more, and even lived longer, than those without.

Support Girls and young women's education at all levels.
Education Ministries should:
- Ensure the provision of inclusive, quality gender transformative education which includes a focus on human rights and civic education. Equipping all children and youth, particularly girls and young women, with the necessary skills, knowledge, critical
consciousness and experience to feel confident to engage in civic and political life as activists, advocates and informed citizens. This commitment is enshrined in the SDG 4.7 target and governments
should make a point of reporting on progress to implement this as part of their commitment to Leave No One Behind.
School stakeholders (teachers, councils, and parents) must:
- Provide students, especially girls, with opportunities to develop the soft skills integral to influencing, including leadership skills-development, public speaking, and access to decision-making processes within school governance structures, such as school
councils and elections.
INGOs and civil society must:
- Recognise the value of girl and youth activists to affect change and support the development of critical influencing skills: building effective advocacy and the ability to lobby power holders, including how to navigate different policy spaces and influencing processes. Focus should also be given to soft skills development, including leadership, public speaking and self-confidence.

Taliban has banned girls from school since two years; It’s a worsening crisis for all Afghans
The ban triggered global condemnation and remains the Taliban's biggest obstacle to gaining recognition as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan.
ISLAMABAD: Two years after the Taliban banned girls from school beyond sixth grade, Afghanistan is the only country in the world with restrictions on female education. Now, the rights of Afghan women and children are on the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly Monday in New York.
The U.N. children’s agency says more than 1 million girls are affected by the ban, although it estimates 5 million were out of school before the Taliban takeover due to a lack of facilities and other reasons.
The ban triggered global condemnation and remains the Taliban’s biggest obstacle to gaining recognition as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan. But the Taliban defied the backlash and went further, excluding women and girls from higher education, public spaces like parks, and most jobs.
Here’s a look at the ban on girls’ education:
WHY DID THE TALIBAN EXCLUDE GIRLS FROM HIGH SCHOOL?
The Taliban stopped girls’ education beyond sixth grade because they said it didn’t comply with their interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia. They didn’t stop it for boys. In the past two years, they’ve shown no signs of progress in creating the conditions they say are needed for girls to return to class.
Their perspective on girls’ education partly comes from a specific school of 19th-century Islamic thought and partly from rural areas where tribalism is entrenched, according to regional expert Hassan Abbas.
“The ones who went on to develop the (Taliban) movement opted for ideas that are restrictive, orthodox to the extreme, and tribal,” said Abbas, who writes extensively about the Taliban. The leadership believes women should not participate in anything social, public and should especially be kept away from education, said Abbas.
The Taliban also stopped girls’ education when they ruled Afghanistan in the late 1990s.
WHAT DO MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRIES SAY ABOUT THE BAN?
There’s a consensus among clerics outside Afghanistan that Islam places equal emphasis on female and male education. “The Taliban have no basis or evidence to claim the contrary,” said Abbas. But pleas from individual countries and groups, like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, have failed to sway the Taliban.
Syed Akbar Agha, a former Taliban front-line commander, said the insurgents espoused an Islamic system the day they entered Kabul in August 2021.
“They also gave Afghans and the outside world the idea that there would be an Islamic system in the country,” said Agha. “There is currently no (other) Islamic system in the world. The efforts of the international community are ongoing to implement democracy in Islamic countries and turn them away from the Islamic system.”
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE BAN ON WOMEN?
Roza Otunbayeva, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ special representative for Afghanistan and the head of the U.N. mission in Afghanistan, said one of the obvious impacts of an education ban is the lack of training of aspiring healthcare professionals.
Female medical students had their studies halted after last December’s Taliban edict banning higher education for women. Afghan women work in hospitals and clinics — health care is one of the few sectors open to them — but the pipeline of qualified people will dry up. Afghan women cannot see male doctors, so children will also lose out on medical attention if women are their primary carers.
“Looking into the future and a scenario where nothing changes, where will the female doctors, midwives, gynecologists, or nurses come from?” Otunbayeva said in an email to The Associated Press. “In a strictly gender-segregated society, how will Afghan women be able to get the most basic healthcare services if there are no female professionals to treat them?”
WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON AFGHANISTAN’S WIDER POPULATION?
The high school ban is not just about girls’ rights. It’s a worsening crisis for all Afghans.
Tens of thousands of teachers have lost their jobs. Support staff are also unemployed. Private institutions and businesses that benefited financially from girls’ education have been hit. Afghanistan has a shattered economy and people’s incomes are plummeting. Excluding women from the job market hurts the country’s GDP to the cost of billions of dollars, says UNICEF.
The Taliban are prioritizing Islamic knowledge over basic literacy and numeracy with their shift toward madrassas, or religious schools, paving the way for a generation of children with no contemporary or secular education to improve their or the country’s economic future.
There are other consequences for the general population, like public health and child protection.
U.N. data says birth rates are higher among Afghan girls aged 15–19 who don’t have secondary or higher education. A woman’s education can also determine if her children have basic immunization and if her daughters are married by the age of 18. The lack of women’s education is among the major drivers of deprivation, says the U.N.
Aid groups say girls are at increased risk of child labor and child marriage because they’re not at school, amid the growing hardships faced by families.
WILL THE TALIBAN CHANGE THEIR MINDS?
The Taliban waged a decades-long jihad to implement their vision of Sharia. They are not backing down easily. Sanctions, frozen assets, the lack of official recognition, and widespread condemnation has made little difference.
Countries that have a relationship with the Taliban could make an impact. But they have different priorities, reducing the prospects of a united front on girls’ education.
Pakistan has concerns about a resurgence of militant activity. Iran and Central Asian countries have grievances about water resources. China is eyeing investment and mineral extraction opportunities.
There’s a bigger likelihood of pressure coming from within Afghanistan.
The Taliban rule of today is different from that of decades ago. Senior leaders, including the chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, rely on social media for key messaging to Afghans at home and abroad.
They point to their success in eradicating narcotics and cracking down on armed groups like the Islamic State. But improving security and wiping out poppy crops will only satisfy people to a point.
While Afghans are concerned about the loss of girls’ education, they have more immediate worries like earning money, putting food on the table, keeping a roof over their heads, and surviving droughts and harsh winters.
There is a desire within Afghanistan for the Taliban to have some kind of international acceptance, even if it’s not recognition, so the economy can thrive.
Public opinion is much more relevant and influential today than it was during Taliban rule in the 90s, said Abbas. “Internal pressure from ordinary Afghans is going to ultimately push Kandahar in the corner and make a difference.”
But it could take years for the ban’s consequences to hit Afghan men and trigger a groundswell of unrest. Right now, it only affects girls and it’s mostly women who have protested the slew of restrictions.
Agha said Afghans will support the ban if the end goal is to enforce hijab, the Islamic headscarf, and finish gender mixing. But they won’t if it’s simply to end girls’ education outright.
“I think only the nation can lead the way,” he said.
