Speaking about the ongoing hijab row in India, Nobel laureate and education rights activist Malala Yousafzai on Saturday said that the “objectification of women — for wearing less or more — persists.”
Taking to Twitter, Malala talked about the hijab controversy raging in India’s state Karnataka where Muslim students wearing the hijab are being barred from entering college premises.
Malala said: “Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying.”
The activist spoke against the decision and urged Indian leaders to stop the “marginalisation of Muslim women”.
