Malala Yousafzai the nobel Peace Prize laureate has condemned US President Donald Trump policy to put away children of illegal immigrants from their families


Malala Yousafzai the nobel Peace Prize laureate has described as “cruel” a policy launched by US President Donald Trump to put away children of illegal immigrants from their families,  she first visited South America to promote girls’ education. Not less than 2,300 children were separated from their parents following the Trump government policy of “zero tolerance” on illegal immigrants since May, which seeks to prosecute all adults who cross the border illegally from Mexico into the United States. Trump halted families separation last month following public outcry and court injunctions. Malala said“This is cruel, this is unfair and this is inhumane. I don’t know how anyone could do that, I hope that the children can be together with their parents.” Her disgust contrasted with her effusive praise last year for Canada’s embrace of refugees under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. At the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, Malala also questioned Trump’s record on women’s rights” said  Yousafzai, known widely by her first name, on her visit to Rio de Janeiro to kick off the expansion of her education charity, the Malala Fund, into Latin America, beginning with Brazil. Her purpose of going to Brazil, Latin America’s largest economy, was to advocate for more public funding on education, a herculean task after the country passed a constitutional amendment freezing federal spending in real terms for twenty years in order to minimize public debt. She also aims of getting an estimated 1.5 million girls currently out of school into the classroom, with a special attention on minority groups who were behind white children on key indicators like literacy and secondary school completion. “It is important for us to reach the indigenous and the Afro-Brazilian population in Brazil. Those girls are facing many challenges,” Malala stated.  Malala in 2014  became the world’s youngest Nobel laureate, for her work with her foundation, a charity she put up to support education advocacy groups with a focus on Pakistan, Nigeria, Jordan, Syria and Kenya.
