On Saturday, September 14, Malala in her series of tweets had requested United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to work towards peace in Kashmir.

Malala wrote, “I am deeply concerned about reports of 4,000 people, including children, arbitrarily arrested & jailed, about students who haven’t been able to attend school for more than 40 days, about girls who are afraid to leave their homes.”

In the last week, I’ve spent time speaking with people living and working in #Kashmir – journalists, human rights lawyers and students.
