Fresh off an Oscars red carpet debut following the nomination of the film Stranger at the Gate, which she executive produced, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai sat down with Muslim Girl ahead of Muslim Women's Day to talk about all things faith, activism and what’s ahead. “I grew up in a Muslim country and a Muslim family, committed to the teachings of Islam, so faith has always been a big part of my life — and it continues to be so today,” Yousafzai said.
” For Yousafzai, a core tenant of Islam is to ensure that others do not misuse religion to do harm. “We see in Afghanistan how the Taliban is exploiting a twisted interpretation of Islam to enforce its gender apartheid regime. My faith guides me to know that it is wrong to deliberately and systematically oppress girls and women — not letting them get a haircut, see a doctor, or go for a walk in the park.
