Malala Yousafzai returns to Pakistan after two years

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai has arrived in Pakistan after a gap of over two years.

She will attend a two-day global conference on girls’ education in Islamabad as a special guest.

“I’m truly honoured, overwhelmed and happy to be back in Pakistan,” said Malala.

The two-day summit brings together representatives from Muslim-majority countries, where tens of millions of girls are out of school.

She is expected to address the summit tomorrow (Sunday).

“I will speak about protecting rights for all girls to go to school, and why leaders must hold the Taliban accountable for their crimes against Afghan women and girls,” she posted on social media platform X on Friday.

Malala was shot by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in 2012 when she was a schoolgirl and has returned to the country only a handful of times since.
