19 Afghan female medical students, granted free tuition in Scotland, study after the Taliban banned women attending university.

Nineteen female medical students from Afghanistan are studying in Scotland after the Taliban's ban on women attending university. Supported by the Linda Norgrove Foundation, they overcame significant challenges to relocate, including visa processes and language tests.

The students, now enrolled in various universities, aim to return to Afghanistan as doctors to help foster a better future for their country.
