Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, has spoken out on the ongoing Hijab debate in Karnataka. Muslim pupils claimed they were prohibited from wearing headscarves in class. The Nobel Peace Prize winner and women’s rights campaigner rushed to Twitter to express her displeasure with the row. “Refusing to allow girls attend to school in their hijabs is awful,” she tweeted. Women continue to be objectified based on how much or how little they wear. Indian politicians must put an end to Muslim women’s marginalization.” Malala highlighted a report in which a Muslim student said that she was forced to choose between studying and wearing the headscarf.
