  1. The poisonings have happened mostly in areas with large Pashtun populations, where opposition to girls' education is strong. This opposition manifests itself in various and often violent ways; girls' schools are burned down, teachers are attacked and beheaded, and acid is sprayed in girls' faces as they walk to school. These poison gas attacks seem simply to be the latest in a systematic campaign to intimidate girls from attending school.
