Students Banned from University in Afghanistan Arrive in Scotland to Finish Their Studies

19 female medical students banned from attending university in Afghanistan have arrived in Scotland to finish their studies. They were forced to give up medicine after the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan.

The Linda Norgrove Foundation worked with the UK and Scottish governments to arrange visas & places at 4 medical schools in Scotland for the students.

My heart broke when I realized their daughter died in my country, I am still leaving in Kabul and this sad news just added to my hate for the Taliban.

These beautiful ladies are so inspiring and elegant in their speech and mannerism. I love the energy they bring after having survived American and NATO violence in their lands and the restrictions by the tribal/ Taliban government.

A special thank you to the parents of the slain victim who made this happen. You are the change!

As a newly arrived Afghan girl in the UK, I feel an immense sense of pride and joy watching this video. It has deeply motivated me and filled me with happiness to see my fellow Afghan girls, who have dedicated nearly a decade of their lives to education, finally have the opportunity to pursue their studies, goals, and dreams with greater ease and more resources. Their resilience and perseverance inspire me, and I am profoundly moved by the thought that they can now continue their journey toward a brighter future.

In addition, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the couple who made this possible. Their efforts have changed countless lives, and the impact of their kindness and dedication will be felt for generations to come.

The world is failing women and girls ( and all people of Afghanistan) miserably!

I’m proud of you beautiful strong ladies!

I graduate from university in November and I can’t imagine being told I would have to stop my degree. It must of been devastating, women over there basically have no human rights what so ever. Something needs to change ASAP.

[rohanirohan]

Thanks to the charity/foundation and the couple for providing this opportunity to these girls. InshaAllah, they will save lives one day.

[juliemullen]

And we are very proud to have you beautiful young ladies
